Colorado Immigration Bonds
If someone you know is in ICE custody in Colorado, start by confirming where they are being held. If an immigration bond has already been set, Amistad can help you take the next step.
Where Is the Person Being Held in Colorado?
The main Colorado immigration detention location currently connected to ICE detention and detained immigration court proceedings is in Aurora.
Denver Contract Detention Facility
3130 N. Oakland Street, Aurora, CO 80010
Also known in ICE records as the Aurora ICE Processing Center.
The facility houses people in ICE custody and is operated under contract for immigration detention.
Not Sure Where the Person Is Now?
Do not assume someone is still near the place where they were arrested. A person taken into ICE custody in Denver, Aurora, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins or another Colorado community may later be moved to a different detention facility.
Arrest Location May Not Be the Detention Location
Someone taken into ICE custody in one Colorado city may be detained somewhere else. ICE can also transfer people outside Colorado. Before traveling, sending mail or relying on facility-specific information, confirm the person's current location.
Detention Facility, ICE Office and Immigration Court Are Different
Detention Facility
Where the person is physically being held. For someone detained at the Aurora facility, use the Aurora page for the most relevant facility and court information.
ICE Field Office
Handles certain federal immigration custody and enforcement matters. In Colorado, this is separate from the detention facility.
Immigration Court
Handles the immigration case. In Colorado, these locations are not always the same as the detention facility.
If a Bond Has Already Been Set
If ICE or an Immigration Judge has already set the immigration bond amount, Amistad can help you understand what is required to move forward. You do not need to travel to Aurora to start the Amistad process.

Immigration Court for Aurora Detention Cases
Colorado has more than one immigration court function. For people detained at the GEO detention facility in Aurora, EOIR currently connects the facility with the Aurora Immigration Court.
Important: Do not assume every Colorado immigration case is handled by the same court. The person's own hearing notice and current EOIR case record should always be used to confirm where the individual case is being handled.
ICE Denver Field Office
The ICE field office is not the same location as the detention facility. The Denver Field Office is at 12445 East Caley Avenue, Centennial, CO 80111 and handles immigration enforcement functions for Colorado and a broader regional area. Do not send a family to Centennial simply because someone is detained in Aurora.
Important Things to Know in Colorado
Immigration Bonds Are Federal
An ICE immigration bond is separate from bail in a Colorado criminal case.
Not Automatically Available
ICE detention does not automatically mean the person qualifies for an immigration bond.
Transfers Can Happen
A person may be moved from Aurora to another facility.
Start Remotely
You do not need to live in Colorado or travel to the detention center to begin the process.
