About ICE Detention
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detains individuals suspected of immigration violations, unauthorized entry, or those awaiting immigration court proceedings. ICE operates or contracts with over 200 detention facilities across the United States.
What to Do If You Can't Find Someone
If a search returns no results, the individual may have been transferred to a different facility, released, or deported. We recommend contacting an immigration attorney or calling the ICE detainee hotline at 1-888-351-4024 for assistance.
Visitation at ICE Facilities
Visitation policies vary by facility. Contact the specific detention center directly for current visitation hours, approved visitor requirements, and what items are permitted. Use our facility directory to find phone numbers for specific ICE detention centers.
