• Instead of leaving, the person can stay up to 48 more hours for ICE. Once those 48 hours end, the hold request expires.

• Officers from ICE often take custody at the Harrison jail within that window. If ICE never comes, this means the person goes free.

For a picture taken after ICE booked them, people must use ICE's online FOIA request; the agency may say no.
