ICE Removes Locations of Detainees with Final Deportation Orders from Public Locator
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has stopped publicly listing the locations of thousands of detainees with final deportation orders in its online locator system since September 15. This unannounced change has made it harder for lawyers and relatives to locate detainees, potentially limiting legal challenges before deportation. The practice excludes certain facilities in California, Minneapolis, New York City, and Chicago, where courts have mandated prompt listing. ICE has not publicly confirmed the change but stated it is prioritizing deportations amid numerous court injunctions.
