• Even with bail paid, the ICE hold stays active.
• Rather than leaving, the person may stay as long as 48 extra hours so ICE can come. Days off add no extra time; the limit stays 48 hours.
• ICE officers may collect them at the Searcy jail within those 48 hours. If ICE doesn't arrive, the person goes free.
