I am translating a pamphlet in which the words "capias or warrant" are used repeatedly. All of the sources I have consulted seem to indicate the same translation: orden de detención, or something very similar. Does anyone have an idea as to how I can make a distinction between the two, or should I just use orden de detención and leave it at that?

That's what I've found. I hope it helps.

What is a Capias Warrant?
Written by J. Hirby and Fact Checked by The Law Dictionary Staff
In the common law system of the United States, a capias warrant is essentially an order to arrest and detain an individual for the purpose of guaranteeing a court appearance. The Latin term capias translates into English as ?for the taking of,? but it is not commonly associated with the seizure of property or the search of premises. A capias warrant should be considered a writ of arrest.
In most instances, a capias warrant is issued in connection with failure to appear before court in a criminal case. A defendant who fails to appear at a criminal court proceeding, for example, could expect a capias warrant to be issued for his or her arrest.
Since a capias warrant is a compelling writ, a judge or magistrate must be prudent and ensure that he or she has compelling evidence to issue such an order.
