ICE Ventura Office Overview
The ICE Ventura, California office page identifies the Camarillo location as a check-in office for Enforcement and Removal Operations under the Los Angeles Field Office. Its area coverage is Ventura County. The page does not list a detention capacity, housing units, visiting rooms, or inmate population because the office is not an over-72-hour detention facility listing.
The distinction is important for searches. The Ventura County Sheriff's Office operates local jail facilities for county arrestees. ICE uses a federal immigration locator for people in ICE custody. The Federal Bureau of Prisons uses a separate locator for federal prison custody. A local arrest with an immigration concern can cross systems, but the first search should match the physical custody location at that moment.

The image supports the office-type point: this is an ICE check-in location, so custody searches should use ICE ODLS rather than treating the Camarillo office as a county jail.
ICE Detainee Lookup Ventura County
For immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. ODLS is the federal route for adult immigration detainees in ICE custody. It is not a Ventura County jail roster and does not replace the sheriff inmate search for someone who is physically booked in a county jail bed. ICE locator results can also lag behind very recent arrests or transfers.
- Check whether the person is currently in Ventura County sheriff custody after a local arrest.
- Use ICE ODLS if the person may be in immigration detention or has been transferred to ICE custody.
- Search by A-Number and country of birth when the A-Number is known.
- Use biographic search when the A-Number is not known, with name, country of birth, and date of birth details.
- Confirm results with the responsible agency before travel, bond action, or legal deadlines.
ICE ODLS is a location tool, not a mugshot gallery and not a criminal court index. It should not be used to look up Ventura County booking photos, sheriff jail housing, state prison custody, or local criminal case outcomes. Those records belong in different systems.
ICE Ventura Search Fields
The research identified the common ICE detainee locator paths. The most precise route is the A-Number search. The biographic route is useful when the A-Number is unknown, but name spelling, birth country, and birth date matter. ICE ODLS generally covers people 18 or older in ICE custody.
| Search Route | Fields | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| A-Number search | A-Number and country of birth | Best when immigration paperwork lists the A-Number. |
| Biographic search | First name, last name, country of birth, date of birth | Used when the A-Number is not known. |
| County jail search | Name, booking number, or DOB on sheriff system | Used only for current Ventura County jail custody. |
| BOP search | Register number or name fields | Used for federal prison custody, not ICE check-ins. |
ICE Ventura Address and Contact
The ICE Ventura Check-In Office is listed in Camarillo. The official ICE page provides address, phone, email, appointment times, office type, and field office. Because it is a check-in office, contact details should be used for appointment and ERO office questions, not for county jail visitation, bail, or ordinary criminal booking records.
ICE Ventura Check-In Office
321 Cortez Circle
Camarillo, CA 93012
805-482-1587
Monday-Wednesday, 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
Email contact listed in the research is LosAngeles.Outreach@ice.dhs.gov. The office is part of the Los Angeles Field Office. Anyone with a time-sensitive immigration case should rely on the official ICE page, notices, counsel, or the assigned officer rather than assuming a public web result is complete.
Not an ICE Detention Jail
No official ICE over-72-hour detention facility in Ventura County was identified from the ICE detention-facility listing during research. The Camarillo page is marked as a check-in office. That means it should not be described as a place where detainees are housed overnight or where public jail visiting, commissary, mail delivery, or bond-window services operate like a county detention facility.
| Question | ICE Ventura Check-In Office | Correct Search Path |
|---|---|---|
| Local jail booking | No county booking role identified. | Use Ventura County Sheriff's inmate search. |
| Immigration detention | Office may be tied to ERO case management, not housing. | Use ICE ODLS for detainee location. |
| Federal prison sentence | Not a BOP prison. | Use BOP inmate locator. |
| State prison sentence | Not a CDCR facility. | Use CDCR CIRIS. |
Ventura Jail and ICE Holds
A person arrested locally can be booked into a Ventura County jail and also have an immigration-related concern. While the person is physically in sheriff custody, the county jail roster and facility phone lines are the local custody route. If the person is later transferred to ICE custody, ODLS becomes the better locator. A no-bail hold, warrant, detainer, or outside agency hold can affect release even when a local bail amount appears.
The sheriff jail facilities are the Ventura County Pre-Trial Detention Facility, Ventura County Todd Road Jail, and Ventura County East County Jail. The county roster should not be used to search for people who have already left local jail for ICE custody. Likewise, ODLS should not be expected to display ordinary county pretrial detainees who have not entered ICE custody.
Note: A detainer or transfer can change quickly, so confirm physical custody with the agency holding the person.
ICE Ventura Visits
The research did not identify public detainee visiting hours for the Camarillo check-in office because the office is not presented as a detention housing site. ICE detention visitation rules belong to the detention facility where a person is housed. Ventura County jail visiting rules belong to the sheriff facility where a county inmate is held. Those two systems should not be mixed.
| Visit Type | Published Ventura Office Detail | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| Check-in appointment | Monday-Wednesday, 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. | Follow ICE notices and office instructions. |
| ICE detention visit | No Ventura check-in office visiting schedule published. | Locate the detention facility first through ICE channels. |
| County jail visit | Not handled by ICE Ventura. | Use the sheriff jail schedule for the actual Ventura County facility. |
Mail Money and Phone
ICE Ventura Check-In Office research did not locate a detainee mail address, commissary vendor, money-deposit vendor, or phone account vendor for the Camarillo office. That is expected for a check-in office. Mail, funds, and phone rules follow the detention facility that is actually housing the person. If the person remains in a Ventura County jail, sheriff mail and phone rules apply. If the person is in ICE detention somewhere else, use that facility's ICE rules.
| Service | ICE Ventura Check-In Office Status |
|---|---|
| No detainee housing mail format located for this office. | |
| Money deposits | No commissary or detention deposit method located for this office. |
| Phone calls | No detention phone vendor located for this office. |
Federal State County Searches
Ventura County residents often need to decide between four separate systems. The sheriff roster covers county jail custody. CDCR CIRIS covers California state prison custody. BOP covers federal prison custody and some former federal custody records. ICE ODLS covers immigration detainees in ICE custody. ICE Ventura Check-In Office is relevant to Ventura County ERO check-ins, but it is not the search tool for every federal or immigration question.
| Custody Type | Primary Tool | What It Does Not Show |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Ventura County sheriff inmate search | State prison, BOP, or ICE transfers after release from county custody. |
| State prison | CDCR CIRIS | New county arrests or ICE check-in appointments. |
| Federal prison | BOP inmate locator | Ordinary ICE check-ins or county jail bookings. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | County booking photos, local court case records, or BOP sentence records. |
ICE Record Limits
ICE and BOP locators should not be described as public mugshot galleries. The Ventura County sheriff records process is the researched route for local booking photos, and it has authorization limits and fees. Court records after a local arrest are searched through Ventura Superior Court. Immigration custody records can involve federal privacy rules, removal proceedings, transfer timing, and identity details that are not shown in county jail data.
For criminal charges after a Ventura County jail arrest, use Ventura Superior Court case inquiry. For current county custody, use the sheriff inmate search. For immigration custody after transfer, use ODLS. Matching the search to the correct agency avoids false negatives and avoids treating the ICE Ventura Check-In Office as a detention facility it is not.
