What “ICE detention” means in practice

Civil immigration detention is administrative — not criminal — custody held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the course of removal (deportation) proceedings or pending a custody determination by an immigration judge. Detainees are held under the authority of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), not state criminal codes, even when the physical facility is a county jail under an Intergovernmental Service Agreement (IGSA).

Each facility falls into one of four operational types: ICE Service Processing Centers (SPCs, owned and staffed by ICE), Contract Detention Facilities (CDFs, operated by private companies under direct contract with ICE), Intergovernmental Service Agreement (IGSA) facilities (state, county, or local jails housing ICE detainees under contract), and U.S. Marshals Service Intergovernmental Agreement (USMS IGA) facilities (jointly housing pretrial criminal detainees and ICE detainees). The four types share the same ICE Performance-Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS) for visitation, legal access, medical care, telephone access, and grievance procedures.

How to find a detainee in custody

ICE publishes the Online Detainee Locator System (ODLS) at locator.ice.gov. To use ODLS you need either the detainee’s alien registration number (A-number, an 8- or 9-digit number assigned by USCIS) plus country of birth, OR the detainee’s full first and last name plus country of birth plus date of birth. If the system returns no result, the detainee may have been transferred, released, removed, or may be too recently booked for the database to reflect. ICE policy permits up to 8 hours between booking and ODLS update; in practice the delay is sometimes longer.

Visitation rules common to all Guam ICE facilities

Every ICE facility allows in-person visits during posted hours. General visitors must present a valid government-issued photo ID (state driver’s license or ID card, U.S. passport, foreign passport, or consular identification card such as the Mexican matrícula consular) and submit to a search. Visits may be non-contact (separated by glass) or contact, depending on the facility’s design and the detainee’s classification. Children must be accompanied by an adult and most facilities require advance notice for minor visitors. Attorneys, paralegals, and accredited representatives (recognized by the DOJ Board of Immigration Appeals) have separate legal-visit access seven days a week, generally 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
