The Chicago Field Office is one of the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) field offices that supervise detention and removal operations across the United States. This office oversees 21 detention facilities physically located in: IN, KS, KY, MO, OK, WI.
Each ICE ERO field office has a defined Area of Responsibility (AOR). ICE’s field-office directory (updated Sep 2, 2026) lists this office’s AOR as: Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kentucky, Kansas. It lists the office at 101 W Ida B Wells Drive, Suite 4000, Chicago, IL 60605, phone (872) 351-3990. The same directory states that ICE’s field offices are not check-in locations; to find a check-in location, schedule or change an appointment, or update an address, ICE points to its ICE Check-in page. For further assistance after contacting the field office, ICE points to its ERO Contact Form or the ICE Detention and Reporting and Information Line, 1-888-351-4024. A non-citizen physically arrested in one AOR may be transferred to a detention facility in another AOR; ICE policy requires notice of transfer but does not require advance notice to family or attorneys.
ICE check-in locations listed under the Chicago Field Office
ICE publishes check-in locations in a Check-In Locations directory that is separate from its field-office directory.

Other facilities holding ICE detainees
ICE’s own detention statistics (the FY2026 spreadsheet released July 20, 2026) list the following facilities as holding people in ICE custody. They were not in ICE’s online facility directory when the table above was built (September 9, 2026), so their pages draw on the operator (sheriff’s office, state agency or company) and on any page ICE has published since.
| Facility | City | State |
|---|---|---|
| Fayette County Detention Center | Lexington | KY |
| Fulton County Jail | Rochester | IN |
| Sauk County Jail | Baraboo | WI |
How transfers between field offices work
ICE may transfer a detainee from a facility in one ERO field office’s AOR to a facility in another AOR for operational reasons (bed-space availability, medical needs, removal-flight staging). PBNDS 2011 standard 7.4 (Detainee Transfers) states that “[t]he legal representative-of-record shall be notified as soon as practicable, but no later than 24 hours after the detainee is transferred, in accordance with sound security practices.” That standard sets no deadline for updating the Online Detainee Locator System — it does not mention ODLS at all — and ICE publishes no ODLS refresh interval anywhere, so after a transfer a family should check locator.ice.gov repeatedly rather than treat one empty result as final. Family members are not notified directly.
