How Can I Find My Immigration Detained Family Member?

We understand how stressful it can be when you can’t reach a loved one and worry they may be in Immigration Custody. The first thing we recommend is checking U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s online detainee locator. This helpful tool will show you which detention facility is holding your family member.

Here’s a tip to Speed Things Up: if you have your loved one’s A-number (that’s the unique 8- or 9-digit identifier USCIS gives to immigrants when they apply for status), use it in your search. It makes finding them much faster.

Don’t have the A-number? No problem. You can locate them using their full name, date of birth, and country of birth.

Once you’ve found out where they’re being held, call the facility to ask about their visiting hours and how you can stay in touch.

This is also the perfect time to reach out to our team at the Law Offices of Dizengoff and Yost. We’re here to guide you through every step and help you reconnect with your detained loved one as quickly as possible.
