Information on the place of arrest was not included in the available data ICE released. However, we can examine whether the Lakeside - Englewood was the first ICE facility in which these detainees were held. According to ICE records, for a few (7 percent) of these detainees, the Lakeside - Englewood was the first place they were sent when they were detained by ICE. The remaining 93 percent had been transferred in from another ICE detention facility.
We can also look at how quickly they arrived at this facility after they were first detained. A total of 93 percent arrived at the Lakeside - Englewood at some point during the very first day they were detained by ICE. There was considerable variability among detainees in the number of detention facilities they had been held in before they were finally deported or released from this facility. The number of facilities ranged as high as 3 separate locations for some detainees. These figures again are based on an analysis of the most recent 12 months for which data are available.
For the United States as a whole, last year the average number of ICE facilities detainees moved through was 1.8. Detainees at the Lakeside - Englewood on average had stayed at somewhat more (2.0) ICE facilities.

Orders. The issuance of an order to release the detainee was the most common reason why individuals were recorded as leaving ICE detention from this facility. Under an "order of recognizance" an individual is released with reporting conditions while in deportation proceedings and awaiting a final decision. A second type of order ("order of supervision") releases an individual after a final order of removal. Here an individual is released because ICE has not met the time limits the law imposes for deporting the individual. There were 14 (100 percent) who left the Lakeside - Englewood detention for these reasons: 14 with orders of recognizance, and none with an order of supervision.
Escape and death. Nationally, there were 65 individuals who escaped ICE detention during the latest 12 month period for which data are available, and 6 individuals were recorded as having died in detention. No one was recorded by the Lakeside - Englewood as either escaping or dying last year.
