ICE operates the Online Detainee Locator System (ODLS) a public, web-based system that allows family members, legal representatives, and members of the public to locate individuals who are detained by ICE.
Previously, the only way to determine the location of a detained individual was by contacting an ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) office. As part of detention reform, ICE deployed the ODLS so that family members and attorneys can locate a detained individual more easily online, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The system is also available in Spanish and seven other languages.
If you are unable to locate an individual in the ODLS who has been detained, please contact the appropriate ICE ERO field Office. Use of ODLS requires the individual’s full name, alien number (A-number) or date of birth, and country of birth.
