Check Hudson ICE Context

Hudson ICE Release Caveat

The former Big Horn Correctional Facility in Hudson is included because it is a distinctive Weld County federal and immigration-custody development. It is not the Weld County Jail, not operated by the Weld County Sheriff's Office, and not part of the sheriff's Daily Inmate Released Report. If a person is or becomes held there under ICE authority, release and custody status would be checked through ICE systems and official federal or facility contacts.

Denver7 reported on July 13, 2026 that GEO Group announced a five-year ICE contract to house 1,188 detainees at the former Big Horn facility. Denver7 also reported that the site had operated for about five years before closing in 2014 and that the Town of Hudson said it lacked authority to approve or block federal immigration detention operations at the privately owned site. This should be treated as a reported development as of that date, not as a sheriff release database.

Confirm Hudson ICE Status

Because the Hudson information is reported and current as of July 13, 2026, do not treat a news report as an individual custody record. Start with ICE ODLS for a named person. If ODLS lists a facility or contact route, follow the current official result. If ODLS has no result, check whether the person is in county custody, state prison, BOP custody, recent CBP custody, or another system. Then check official ICE facility information if it becomes available.

1. Search ICE ODLS by A-number if available.
2. Use name, country of birth, and birth date when no A-number is known.
3. Check the Weld County release report only for a separate sheriff jail booking event.
4. Use BOP for federal prison and CDOC for Colorado state prison.
5. Re-check official ICE and facility sources before stating that Big Horn/Hudson is the active custodian.

The manifest includes the Denver7 source for the reported Hudson / Big Horn ICE contract. Read the live Denver7 July 13, 2026 report for the reported details and caveats.

The screenshot belongs with the local federal-detention context. It should not be used as an individual inmate release record.

Big Horn Hudson Records Route

No sheriff records route was found for Big Horn/Hudson because the reported use is federal immigration detention at a privately owned facility, not a county jail release feed. The proper individual-custody path is ICE ODLS and official ICE or facility information. If the person also had a Weld County Jail booking, the sheriff report or Records Unit can document that separate local custody event.

The Town of Hudson statement reported by Denver7 matters because it separates local municipal approval from federal immigration detention operations. That local-government caveat should keep the page from overstating what the town or sheriff controls.

About Big Horn Hudson

The former Big Horn facility is a local place name with a federal custody angle. Denver7 reported that the facility was expected to add about 1,200 beds to Colorado's ICE detention capacity and become Colorado's second ICE detention center. The report also said the town lacked several operational details. Because this information was reported one day before the research date, it requires careful wording and fresh official-source checks in later build or maintenance work.

For release research, the key fact is source separation. Weld County's sheriff database covers people booked into and released from the Weld County Jail. ICE ODLS covers immigration custody status. BOP covers federal prison status. CDOC covers state-prison status. Court records explain case outcomes. The Big Horn/Hudson story does not merge those systems.

Reported contract

A news-reported agreement or announcement, not an individual custody record.

ICE detention

Federal immigration custody handled through ICE systems.

Private facility

A facility not operated as the Weld County Jail by the sheriff.

Operational status

A fact that should be verified through official sources before relying on it.

Hudson Federal Caveats

The July 13, 2026 report should be dated in body copy because the fact pattern may change quickly. If ICE later lists the facility, ODLS or official facility contact information will become more important. If the contract changes, the page should not imply that individual detainees are there. For now, the safest wording is reported federal/ICE detention context in Weld County.

Do not use the former Big Horn / Hudson page as a shortcut around the ICE locator. A person released from Weld County Jail and transferred to immigration custody should be checked in ICE ODLS. A person released from federal prison should be checked in BOP. A person in a Weld County court case should be checked in court records. A person released from the Weld County Jail should be checked in the sheriff release report.

Note: Big Horn/Hudson is local ICE context, not a Weld sheriff release source.

Hudson ICE Update Checks

Because the Hudson report was so recent, later verification should look for official ICE facility listings, GEO statements, Town of Hudson updates, and any official contact or visitation rules before changing the page from reported context to active facility guidance. A news article can establish that a contract announcement was reported. It cannot confirm that a named detainee is there, that intake has started, or that release procedures are in effect.

The user path should stay practical. For a named person, search ICE ODLS first. For a Weld County booking, search the sheriff release report. For a state-prison sentence, search CDOC. For a federal prison sentence, search BOP. For a court outcome, search the 19th Judicial District record. The Hudson facility may become important for local geography, but the custody record still comes from the controlling agency.
