Naval Station Guantanamo Bay — ICE migrant detention (no family visits, not in the locator). https://migrantusa.com/ice-detention/naval-station-guantanamo-bay/","dateModified":"2026-06-11","description":"Guantanamo Bay is not in the ICE online detainee locator and allows no family visits: families must call the Miami ERO field office. Legal access explained.","disclaimer":"General information, not legal advice. MigrantUSA is an independent publisher and is not a law firm. Always verify current details directly with the relevant agency before acting.","ero_field_office":"Miami Field Office","faqs":[{"answer":"Guantanamo is NOT included in the ICE Online Detainee Locator. The only channel ICE publishes is calling the Miami ERO Field Office at (954) 236-4900, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the person’s full name, any aliases, date of birth, and country of birth. If the locator shows nothing and the person was transferred from another facility, that absence does not mean they aren’t in custody.","question":"How do I find out if my family member is being held at Guantanamo Bay?"},{"answer":"No. ICE’s own facility page states that only legal representatives, legal assistants, and interpreters are allowed — no family or friends. ICE publishes no mailing address or family-mail procedure for this facility. The realistic channels are the Miami ERO phone line and communication through the detainee’s attorney.","question":"Can family members visit or send mail to detainees at Guantanamo?"},{"answer":"Attorneys request confidential legal phone calls by emailing Legal.GTMO@ice.dhs.gov at least 24 hours ahead (slots Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. ET, weekends 10 a.m.-2 p.m., maximum 60 minutes per detainee per day). Legal documents of roughly 20 pages or less are emailed to the same address marked ‘Legal Mail.’ G-28 notices go through ERO eFile, but attorneys should bring copies to calls because facility staff don’t access eFile.","question":"How do attorneys communicate with clients held at Guantanamo?"},{"answer":"That is being litigated. In December 2025 a federal judge in Luna Gutierrez v. Noem certified a class of detainees with removal orders held there, ruled the case could proceed, and wrote that immigration law does not clearly authorize detention overseas. The case is ongoing — detainees there should get immigration counsel involved quickly.","question":"Is it legal for ICE to hold immigration detainees at Guantanamo?"}],"generated":"2026-06-11","isBasedOn":"https://www.ice.gov/detain/detention-facilities/naval-station-guantanamo-bay","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Naval Station Guantanamo Bay — ICE migrant detention (no family visits, not in the locator)","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://www.ice.gov/detain/detention-facilities/naval-station-guantanamo-bay"],"type":"ice-detention-facility","url":"https://migrantusa.com/ice-detention/naval-station-guantanamo-bay/"}
