ICE Record Search
If you are searching for a missing loved one or someone detained by ICE, this service is for you. ICE Record Search simplifies the process of locating individuals in immigration custody and understanding their records, offering clear guidance for anyone unfamiliar with the system.
Why the A-Number Is Important
Most immigration detainee lookups require an A-Number (Alien Registration Number). If unavailable, searches may be done with full name, country of birth, and date of birth.
Having the A-Number speeds up searches and ensures accuracy.
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) gives the public the right to request access to federal agency records, including those related to immigration detention and ICE custody. Families, attorneys, and advocates may file a FOIA request to obtain documents such as detention records, case status, and other official government files.
Why FOIA Matters
FOIA is a vital tool for transparency, allowing families and legal representatives to obtain information that may not be publicly available. This can include details about detention history, transfers, or other immigration enforcement actions.
FOIA requests may take time to process, and some records may be exempt from disclosure. Always include the detainee’s A-Number to help ICE locate the correct records.
