How ICE detainers work in Baldwin County

  • Step 1: Booking fingerprints reach databases ICE can search.
  • Step 2: If the Baldwin jail books a non-citizen, O.C.G.A. 42-4-14 requires Milledgeville jail officers to verify whether they are here lawfully ; the Baldwin jail then notifies ICE when status can't be shown.
  • Step 3: If ICE wants the person, it sends Form I-247A, a request to keep them for up to 48 extra hours.
  • Step 4: Georgia's HB 1105 (2024) also added O.C.G.A. 42-1-11.5 and 36-80-23, which forbid local rules against helping ICE.
  • Step 5: ICE does not list Baldwin County in 287(g); ask the sheriff to confirm.
  • Step 6: After ICE picks up the person from Milledgeville, check the ICE online locator for the Baldwin detainee, or call the Atlanta field office, which covers Milledgeville, 180 Ted Turner Dr SW, Suite 522, Atlanta, GA 30303, 404-893-1290.
