Officers from the DEA or the Postal Inspection Service carry out federal arrests. Arrests inside Yosemite National Park can go before the federal magistrate court in Yosemite, 9004 Castle Cliff Court, Yosemite, CA 95389 (209-372-0320). The case moves to the Eastern District of California, Fresno Division in the federal courthouse: 2500 Tulare Street, Fresno, CA 93721. The clerk's line: 559-499-5600. Expect questions from pretrial services before court. An initial court date comes soon, before a federal magistrate. Unlike state court, a federal judge won't check a bail amount. A release hearing under federal bail rules decides what conditions apply.

Check the local roster first; there a Marshals hold may show. Until sentencing, U.S. Marshals may keep your loved one in a county jail by contract. The Marshals in Fresno keep records on federal prisoners. Phone 559-442-2858. Its office is at 2500 Tulare Street, Suite 3501, Fresno, CA 93721. After sentencing to prison, they transfer to the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) when space opens up. Follow the person with the BOP locator.

• Immigration officers learn about an arrest from the prints deputies share. Then ICE might lodge a detainer.
• That form asks the Sonora jail to hold the person for federal agents up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released (8 CFR 287.7(d)). Sonora's jail applies the California Values Act (SB 54): the local case decides release, and the jail hands someone to ICE only on a judge's warrant or for a qualifying serious offense.
• Posting the bond won't lift this hold.
• ICE agents can pick them up at the Sonora jail before the deadline. Without an ICE pickup, that means release.
• The free web tool, the Online detainee locator System, tells their current center when given your loved one's A-number and home country. Don't know your loved one's A-number? It's also possible to search with both first and last names together with date of birth and native country.
• The office for this county is the San Francisco ERO office: 630 Sansome Street, Room 590, San Francisco, CA 94111; call 415-365-8800.
• The last stop is ICE's call.

Prison time is served under California's corrections department (CDCR). First, your loved one waits in the Sonora jail until the CDCR schedules the move. The ride ends at intake, and there they're processed. During classification, staff look at gang ties, their risk level, and physical and emotional health. Their last stop is a housing unit that suits them.

The CDCR online lookup shows where they are housed once they arrive. For prison details, read California prison pages.

The Tuolumne booking search is the place to check, though Tuolumne mugshots may not be shown.

See Penal Code 13665 for the law. It deals with social media. Most nonviolent arrests fall under it. Police can't post those mugshots online there. Posts must come down within 14 days. A judge can also allow a post. The sheriff's own website isn't covered. Most sheriffs in California skip photos anyway.

To get an immigration mugshot, file an ICE public records request; ICE must sign off. Unposted booking photos come from sheriff's staff; journalists may phone 209-533-5855. Federal mugshots stay private. A release must come from the Marshals Service, who permit it only for an escaped prisoner, when the community needs to be warned quickly or to help find someone or alert people.
