An arrest is public in nearly every jurisdiction in America. ICE wants a secret detention system instead. Families deserve to know where their people are. A government that hides who it holds is hiding what it does to them.

When local law enforcement makes an arrest, that person’s identity, criminal charges, and detention location are made public in nearly every jurisdiction in the United States. But ICE rarely publicly reveals the identity of people it detains. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/10/20/i...

ICE maintains an online locator, but attorneys and advocates say it’s often unreliable, not updated quickly enough and fails to include everyone in detention. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/10/20/i...

We submitted FOIA requests in April seeking access to names, dates of birth and detention locations of everyone in ICE's database. ICE and CBP denied our requests and subsequent appeals, citing privacy protections. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/10/20/i...
