About the Adelanto ICE Processing Center
Adelanto ICE Processing Center is located at 10250 and 10400 Rancho Road in Adelanto, California and holds up to 1,940 detainees. The two addresses distinguish Adelanto West and Adelanto East, respectively. Although this is an official ICE detention center, it is managed by The GEO Group, Inc.
Finding Someone at the Adelanto Detention Facility
The ICE Online Detainee Locator System may be the most centralized way to find someone who has been detained by ICE, although not everyone in ICE custody appears in the system.
If you want to confirm that your loved one is being held at this facility, you can also contact the center directly. The center accepts calls at 760-561-6100 between 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. seven days per week. Having the individual’s name, date of birth, country of birth, and A-Number is recommended.
Facility contact information and hours can change, so always check the Adelanto detention center page on the ICE website for the latest details before calling.
Visiting Someone at the Adelanto Detention Center
The Adelanto detention center does allow visitation. The west location is broken up into seven units, and the east location is made up of three units. Each unit has multiple blocks of time allotted for visitation each week. Detainees subject to disciplinary or administrative segregation are given fewer blocks of time each week. It’s recommended that you verify your loved one’s unit and then use the Adelanto center’s website to verify their visitation hours.
Visitors are limited to one-hour visits unless they have been given prior approval. Only three visitors are allowed per detainee at one time.
Legal representatives can visit their clients 24 hours per day, and the Adelanto detention facility allows for virtual legal visitation. Virtual legal visitation must be scheduled in advance between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. or between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Visitation schedules, limits, and requirements may change, so check the ICE website for the latest information before visiting.
What Happens After Someone Is Detained by ICE?
What happens after detention depends on the person’s immigration status, prior history, and why ICE believes they may be removable.
Custody and Removal Proceedings at Adelanto Immigration Court
After detaining someone at the Adelanto detention center, ICE may make an initial determination about whether the person will remain in custody or may be released. At the same time, the individual may be going through removal proceedings before an immigration judge.
In some cases, an individual already has a Notice to Appear indicating why the Department of Homeland Security believes that they can be removed from the country. Immigration court proceedings may then focus on whether the individual is removable and whether the individual qualifies for relief, such as asylum or withholding of removal.

The Adelanto Immigration Court
Adelanto Immigration Court is open Monday through Friday and is located within the Adelanto ICE Processing Center. A detained individual’s hearing may provide more information about their grounds for removal and eligibility for relief options. Court procedures and hearing dates can change, so your attorney will check the Executive Office for Immigration Review’s Automated Case Information System and any official court notices for updates.
Getting Someone Released from Adelanto ICE Processing Center
Release is sometimes an option, depending on the legal basis for detention. Some detained immigrants can ask an immigration judge for a bond hearing. This request may be granted if the judge does not believe the individual is a flight risk, a danger to the community, or a national security threat.
In some cases, ICE may release a person without requiring them to pay a bond. They may remain in the community as long as they follow the conditions of their release, including attending all of their immigration court hearings.
ICE can also place an individual on parole for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. Similarly, they may release them under supervision. This often involves electronic tracking or ankle monitors.
