Locate someone being detained by ICE

Find an immigration detention facility

You can use the ICE detainee locator to find a person currently held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). To use the Online Detainee Locator System, you can either enter the person's:

• Name, country of birth, and birth date, or
• The 8- or 9-digit A-number on correspondences from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or the Executive Office for Immigration Review

If you cannot find a detainee using the online system, contact an ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) field office.

If you know the facility where the person is being held, contact the immigration detention facility directly.
