El Paso Service Processing Center Overview
The official ICE facility page for El Paso Service Processing Center lists the facility at 11541 Montana Avenue, El Paso, TX 79936, with phone number 915-225-0700. The operator is U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations. The facility type is ICE civil immigration detention and service processing, not local county jail custody.
ICE detention is legally and operationally different from El Paso County criminal custody. A person can be booked into the county jail on a local charge, have an immigration detainer or immigration case issue, and later transfer to ICE. Once that transfer occurs, the county JailRecords module may no longer show current custody, and ICE ODLS becomes the proper public lookup path.
The research did not locate an official public capacity figure for El Paso Service Processing Center in the captured ICE facility text. It also did not confirm a public mugshot display, county-style bond table, or criminal charge field through ICE ODLS. Those details should not be invented. ICE records do not replace county court records, immigration court records, or attorney communication.

The facility page provides the official ICE facility source. Individual detainee searches should use ICE ODLS.
El Paso Service Processing Center Capacity and Population
The official public facility text captured in the research did not include a capacity number for El Paso Service Processing Center. County jail population figures from TCJS do not describe this ICE facility, and TDCJ capacity figures do not apply. The facility is an ICE civil detention location, so capacity and population questions should be confirmed through ICE sources rather than county jail workbooks.
Preserving the missing capacity figure matters because immigration detention capacity can be reported differently from county jail beds or state prison unit capacity. Use current ICE materials when an exact current number is required.
How to Look Up a Detainee at El Paso Service Processing Center
Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System for a person believed to be in ICE custody at El Paso Service Processing Center. ODLS supports two broad search paths: A-Number and country of birth, or biographical information and country of birth. The research notes that ICE locator records do not show Texas criminal charges, county bond amounts, or county court dates the way county Public Case Search modules do.
If a person was just arrested by a local agency, check the El Paso County JailRecords module first. If the person was released from county jail to ICE or no longer appears in county custody, search ODLS. If the person is a federal sentenced inmate, use BOP instead. If the person is in Texas state custody after sentencing, use TDCJ.
- Open ICE ODLS.
- Search by A-Number and country of birth when the A-Number is known.
- Use biographical search with country of birth when no A-Number is available.
- Confirm the facility listed before using El Paso Service Processing Center rules.
- For criminal charges or court dates, check the county or federal court system separately.

Visiting Someone at El Paso Service Processing Center
ICE facility pages control visitation, attorney visits, consular access, and detainee communication rules for El Paso Service Processing Center.

Visitors, attorneys, and consular officials should confirm current ICE facility instructions before travel.
| Visit Type | How It Is Handled | Before Travel |
|---|---|---|

Do not rely on El Paso County jail social visitation instructions for this facility. ICE civil detention procedures are separate and can change due to security, transport, legal processing, or federal operational needs.
Mail, Phone, and Detainee Services at El Paso Service Processing Center

ICE Intake, Transfers, and Release Information
ICE intake is not the same as county jail booking. A person may first appear in El Paso County jail records if arrested on a local criminal matter, then later move to ICE custody. ICE custody may also begin through federal immigration enforcement, transfer from another jurisdiction, or administrative processing. ODLS may show location information but does not replace immigration court records or legal advice.
Release or removal status can be limited in public tools. Family members often need an A-Number, country of birth, full legal name, and accurate date of birth to improve search results. Attorneys and accredited representatives may use different official channels than public ODLS.
About El Paso Service Processing Center
El Paso Service Processing Center is one of the immigration detention facilities that makes El Paso County's custody map unusually layered. It sits apart from the Sheriff's county jail system, TDCJ state custody, and BOP federal prison custody. The most common search mistake is using the county jail roster for someone who has already transferred to ICE.
Use the county JailRecords search for local custody, ICE ODLS for ICE custody, TDCJ for state custody, and BOP for federal sentenced custody. For criminal case charges after an arrest, use the criminal court search. For immigration case questions, use appropriate immigration court or legal channels.
Note: Confirm ICE facility location and visitation access before traveling to El Paso Service Processing Center.
