Immigrants with final deportation orders disappear from ICE detainee locator

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has removed thousands of immigrants with final removal orders from its public detainee locator website. This operational change makes it significantly more difficult for attorneys and families to determine the specific locations where individuals are being held after entering ICE custody. The modification affects those with final deportation orders, limiting the transparency of the detention process for legal representatives and relatives seeking to locate detainees within the federal system.
