How to look a detained by ICE in the United States?
If you are looking for a detained by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service) you have come to the right place. In this article, we will give you all the information you need.
What is ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service)?
ICE is the department of the United States government that searches for people around the world. The service tries to detain these people for deportation, if they do not comply with immigration laws.
Why might ICE detain you?
ICE will search for people who have committed serious crimes. These crimes can include drug use or domestic violence, but also petty crimes like drunk driving.
Why search for a detained by ICE?
When searching for an ICE detainee, you can find and contact the individual you are looking for. Information about the suspect’s condition or legal status can also be obtained.
How to look a detained by ICE?
Here is the procedure to find out if a friend or family member of yours was detained by ICE or remains in custody:
Step 1
- Go to the ICE website: https://locator.ice.gov/
- Choose the language of your preference.
- Have all of the individual’s information at hand.
Keep in mind that this will only help you find a person detained by ICE, a person in custody or released from ICE in the last 60 days.
Step 2
The system performs the search in two ways:
- By the Alien Number or the so-called A-Number: it is a 9-digit identification number that is assigned only to people who are in the process of obtaining immigration benefits or who are in a process of law enforcement (not worry if you don’t have it).
- Detainee’s personal data: the name and surname of the person searching must correspond exactly to the name and surname that you entered (for example, if you write José Guzmán, you will not find Josué Guzmán or José Guzmán González). It will also be necessary to select the country of birth of the detainee.
