• Jail fingerprints are compared through federal systems that ICE can see. ICE can then file a detainer (Form I-247A).
• Under the request, the jail can hold them up to two days after they would have left. A holiday doesn't pause the 48 hours.
• Making the bond will not remove it.
• Within those hours, ICE can send officers to collect them. Time up and no ICE? At that point the hold ends and the jail should release them on the county case.
• Every Arkansas case goes to the New Orleans field office, at 181 James Drive W, St. Rose, LA 70087, 504-318-2360.
• ICE itself chooses the next facility.
• Transfers between centers happen, so recheck the detainee locator every few days by A-number and birth country. Without the A-number, the locator also searches by birth country, date of birth and the person's full name.

Relatives can find the person by ADC number with the Division of Correction search. The state prison page explains prison addresses.

Call the sheriff's office, 870-886-2525, if you're a reporter asking for a booking photo that isn't public. ICE photos come out just via a FOIA request to ICE, and only if the agency agrees. U.S. booking photos aren't shared to the press or public. Public requests won't unlock it; U.S. Marshals release a photo only to find a wanted fugitive, when release helps make an arrest or warn people or if it's required right away for community safety.
