Tools To Help Locate A Detainee

Before using these tools, it helps to gather basic details such as the person’s full name, date of birth and country of origin. Here are some key resources:
- ICE Detainee Locator System: This official tool allows users to search for individuals currently in ICE custody using identifying details. It is one of the most direct ways to confirm detention status.
- DHS-VINELink: This service provides custody status updates and notifications. Families can register for alerts when there are changes in a detainee’s location.
- EOIR Automated Case Information System: This system helps track immigration court cases. It provides updates on hearing dates and case progress.
- Freedom for Immigrants hotline: This hotline connects families with advocates who can assist with locating detainees and reporting concerns about detention conditions.
Each of these tools helps families stay informed. Our attorneys will use them together to build a clearer picture of your loved one’s situation and location.
