Find Laredo Processing Center Detainees

Laredo Processing Center Custody

The CoreCivic Laredo Processing Center page identifies the facility as an ICE customer facility in Laredo. CoreCivic says it is minimum-medium security and has been owned since 1985. The 2021 DHS/PREA audit gives the strongest detail about the population: it describes an adult female ICE detainee population pending immigration review or deportation, and it excludes juveniles, males, and family detainees from that audited facility population. That makes the Laredo Processing Center very different from Webb County Jail, even though both are in the same county.

The center is one of several detention facilities in Webb County that can appear in custody searches. The sheriff jail search covers local arrests and bond records. ICE ODLS covers immigration detainees. TDCJ covers state prisoners after transfer. BOP covers federal inmates from 1982 forward and usually works best for sentenced federal custody. A person may move from one system to another, so the facility name in the result must be checked before sending mail or planning a visit.

The manifest includes a direct image of the CoreCivic source page for Laredo Processing Center.

The source page confirms the facility identity, while ICE ODLS remains the public detainee lookup path.

Laredo Processing Center Population

The 2021 DHS/PREA audit lists Laredo Processing Center capacity as 404. The same audit describes the facility's population as adult female ICE detainees, with no juveniles, males, or family units in the audited population. The research does not include a current daily population count, so capacity should not be converted into an occupancy estimate. It is safer to state the audited capacity and population type, then direct custody questions to ICE ODLS or the facility.

Do not count Laredo Processing Center detainees as part of the sheriff jail population unless an official report specifically does so. Webb County TCJS jail reports describe the local county jail. Immigration detention is a separate system with separate reporting, lookup, visitation, mail, and money channels. The distinction is useful for families because a name missing from the county BondSearch portal may still appear in ICE ODLS.

Lookup at Laredo Processing Center

The correct first search is ICE ODLS. ODLS can be searched by A-number with country of birth, or by biographical data when the A-number is unknown. Use the full name, birthdate, and country of birth as carefully as possible. If a result appears, confirm that it names Laredo Processing Center or the correct ICE facility before relying on it. If no result appears, call the facility because detainees can be transferred or listed under name variants.

1. Gather the detainee's full legal name, aliases, date of birth, country of birth, and A-number if known.
2. Search ICE ODLS by A-number and country of birth when that data is available.
3. Use the biographical search option when the A-number is unknown.
4. Confirm that the result lists Laredo Processing Center before arranging a visit or sending mail.
5. Call the facility if ODLS is inconclusive or if the detainee may have been transferred.

The county jail roster should not be used as the primary Laredo Processing Center search. It may matter only when a person was first arrested locally before any immigration custody transfer. For current immigration detention, ICE and CoreCivic facility instructions control the search path.

Laredo Processing Center Contact

The facility phone is the practical fallback after ICE ODLS. Callers should be ready with the detainee's identifying data and should ask specifically whether the person is currently housed at Laredo Processing Center. The fax number is listed in the research, but public custody questions are usually handled by phone or through ICE channels rather than by fax.

Laredo Processing Center Visits

CoreCivic's Laredo facility PDF says visitation does not require prior approval. Visitors sign in and show identification. The PDF allows two adults and two children, and minors need a guardian and birth-certificate process. The research notes that the schedule varies by custody level and that one typo appeared in the PDF, so the schedule should be confirmed by phone before travel. Court, transport, or ICE movement can also change access.

Visitors should bring valid identification and should not assume county jail rules apply. The Laredo Processing Center is an ICE/CoreCivic facility, so dress, entry, item, and minor rules come from the facility's detention policy. Anyone traveling from outside Laredo should call the facility the same day to confirm the detainee has not been moved.

Laredo Processing Center Mail

CoreCivic's Laredo PDF gives a specific mail format. Mail should include the detainee's complete name and number, CCA-Laredo Processing Center, and the facility address. The PDF says mail must go through USPS only and must include the sender's name and address. That means courier deliveries, incomplete return addresses, or mail without the detainee number may be rejected or delayed. Legal mail may follow separate handling rules, so legal senders should verify facility instructions.

Laredo Processing Center Intake

Intake at Laredo Processing Center is immigration detention intake, not street-arrest booking by the sheriff. A detainee may arrive from another ICE facility, after local custody, or after immigration enforcement action. The key identifiers are the A-number, country of birth, name, aliases, and date of birth. Since the audited facility population is adult female ICE detainees, searchers should be alert to transfer notices if ODLS lists another facility or if the person no longer appears.

Immigration custody also has different record boundaries from criminal court records. A local Webb County criminal case may exist if an arrest occurred before detention, but immigration removal proceedings and ICE custody status are not the same thing as a county conviction. For county jail custody, use Webb County Jail channels; for Laredo Processing Center custody, use ICE ODLS and the CoreCivic facility contact.

The adult-female population note from the DHS/PREA audit is useful when a search result does not fit this facility. If the person is male, a juvenile, or part of a family-unit custody question, the Laredo Processing Center detail captured in the research may not match the current placement. ICE transfers can also happen after court, medical review, or bed-space changes. That is why the facility name in ODLS and a direct phone check are more reliable than relying on the fact that the arrest or immigration contact happened in Webb County.

About Laredo Processing Center

Laredo Processing Center's useful public details come from CoreCivic facility materials and the DHS/PREA audit. Those sources support the facility type, operator, address, phone, capacity, audited population type, mail format, money-order limits, and visitation rules. They do not supply a current daily population or a public mugshot field. The facility should be kept distinct from Webb County Detention Facility, which is also CoreCivic and ICE-related, and from Rio Grande Processing Center, which is a GEO facility serving USMS and ICE clients.
