Back to questions ↑Where do federal cases from Crowley County go?
A federal case that starts in Crowley County is not heard in the county courts. Hearings happen inside Colorado Springs' federal court building, 212 North Wahsatch Avenue, Suite 300, Colorado Springs, CO 80903; the court clerk is at 719-471-3387. Shortly after the arrest, the arrested person meets a U.S. magistrate judge for the first court date.
Federal judges skip the bail chart. Instead, the magistrate judge holds a formal detention hearing to choose whether the defendant may go free before trial and what the terms are. Meanwhile, most federal detainees sit in a jail nearby partnered with the Marshals Service. For their location, contact the Marshals Service on 719-633-2037. After prison time is set, the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) steps in. Next, the BOP inmate locator names the place.
Back to questions ↑How does an ICE detainer work in Crowley County?
Step one: During booking, prints are checked in national databases that ICE can see.
Step two: If ICE is interested, the agency lodges an ICE detainer using Form I-247A to jail staff.
Step three: That form seeks as many as 48 added hours following the planned release. That time counts without stopping; Saturdays, Sundays and holidays still count.
Step four: State law, C.R.S. 24-76.6-102, says a jail cannot hold anyone longer only because ICE made a request. So Crowley County must release the one held when the local case allows unless some other legal hold applies.
Step five: ICE officers can come right at release to take the arrested person into custody. Otherwise, the defendant you know walks out.
Need to find someone in ICE custody, use the ICE detainee locator. You need an A-number and birth country, or full name, birth country and birth date.
The Aurora ICE facility page lists 3130 North Oakland Street, Aurora, CO 80010 and 303-361-6612 for questions.
