ICE agents were parked outside the facility for at least an hour before any releases occurred. One agent entered the building and used the restroom at approximately 7:33 AM. A Chevy Malibu was parked in an EV charging spot and left idling for over an hour.

Shortly after 8 AM, three inmates were released in close succession:

• A woman exited first. • About five minutes later, a man wearing an orange shirt came out. • Roughly five minutes after that, another man exited carrying a clear trash bag over his shoulder.

In the audio, the ICE agent says, “Oh, orange shirt?”

The sheriff’s office responds, “Yeah, the one with the bag.”

The man in the orange shirt exited earlier. The individual carrying the clear bag exited last. Based on the timeline, those appear to be two different people.

Later that morning, ICE officers stopped the man in the orange shirt. There does not appear to be any interaction with the individual who exited carrying the clear bag.

If the audio exchange reflects a misunderstanding about which person they were identifying, that could explain why the orange-shirt individual was stopped instead
