How to Locate a Detention Center

When immigration authorities detain someone, one of the first steps for families is determining where they are being held. ICE provides an online detainee locator system to help identify the detention center where a loved one is being held. However, results may be incomplete or confusing for family members unfamiliar with the process. Facilities like the Baker County detention center, Krome detention center, and the Broward transitional center house individuals awaiting immigration proceedings.

If you’re having trouble using the detainee locator system or understanding what to do next, an immigration attorney can assist with navigating the process. Our office provides the clarity you need to locate your loved one and start planning for their legal defense as soon as possible.

Steps to Take If a Loved One Is Detained

If a family member is detained at a facility such as the Baker County or Krome detention centers, it is critical to act quickly and strategically. 

Here’s what you can do to protect their rights and begin addressing their situation:

  1. Locate Them Immediately – Use the detainee locator tool or consult an immigration lawyer to pinpoint their location.
  2. Gather Documentation – Collect any paperwork your loved one has related to their immigration status, including visas, green cards, or previous communication from ICE.
  3. Contact an Immigration Attorney – A seasoned immigration lawyer can help evaluate their case, determine options for release, and represent them throughout the legal process.
  4. Stay in Communication – It’s essential to maintain consistent communication with your loved one, as well as the legal professionals and ICE officers involved in their case.

  • "We are extremely satisfied and grateful"

    I highly recommend Karen Winston's office because thanks to their excellent work, my husband and I are finally at peace after a long immigration process. We have been with this office since 2020, and although my case was not easy, Karen and our assigned paralegal Florencia were always there to help us and answer all our questions. Thanks to their effort and professionalism, I was able to obtain my green card after a long wait, but Karen was always there to provide us with the best solution. She fought for our case, and thanks to her, I feel relieved to have successfully completed my immigration process and to know that I can be here with my husband and start building a family without worrying about the uncertainty of my pending process. We are extremely satisfied and grateful. I also recommend Florencia because her attention was incredible; we felt like she was a friend throughout this process. She was always there with us, letting us know every step of our process, providing us with the tools, and gathering all our information to strengthen our case. Thank you, Karen, thank you, Florencia, and thank you to the entire team for making us feel like family. We felt supported at all times, and we are very happy to have gone through this with you.
