ICE detainee locator notice (checked October 7, 2026): since September 15, 2026, ICE's Online Detainee Locator no longer shows people who have a final order of removal, and ICE staff have reportedly been told not to give their location to family or lawyers, according to the Associated Press and the American Immigration Council. AP reports the change affects more than 16,000 of the nearly 69,000 people in ICE detention. ICE has not announced or confirmed the change; DHS said all detainees have opportunities to communicate with their family members and lawyers. Per the AP, the practice does not apply to detainees held at the Adelanto, California facility or at temporary holding facilities in Minneapolis, New York City or suburban Chicago, where judges have ordered ICE to list them in the locator.

If the locator shows no result for someone you know is detained, that does not mean they were released. Contact their attorney, the detention facility, or the ICE field office.

The Minnehaha County Jail is in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. ICE’s July 2026 inspection report says Minnehaha County owns and operates it. ICE’s fiscal year 2026 detention statistics list the jail.

How to find someone held here

ICE’s Online Detainee Locator System is ICE’s resource for locating a person in detention.

The Sheriff’s Who’s Behind Bars page provides booking information. It warns that the information may not reflect subsequent charging decisions or trial outcomes. The page lists the jail phone as 605-367-4321.

The same page directs bond payments to CourtMoney and warns: “Due to technical difficulties, bond amounts may not be correct.” That is the county page’s bond information.
