If someone you love was just detained by ICE, start here.

Start with these four steps.

People often feel pressured to move fast. Focus on these basics, then contact our team.

• Ask for an interpreter and to speak with a lawyer before signing documents you do not understand.
• Get their full name, DOB, and A-number (if known).
• Ask where they were taken (facility/city) and when.
• Collect documents: prior immigration papers, court notices, old case numbers.

Call 484-763-4984 or email info@lehighvalleyimmigrationlawyers.com.

Share what you know. Don't wait for everything.

Even partial details help us move faster. Send what you have, then we'll fill in gaps.

• Full name, DOB, country of birth.
• A-number (if available) and any old case receipts.
• Where they were detained (city, county, jail, check-in, airport).
• Prior immigration history (asylum, court, removal order, check-ins).
• Any criminal charges/convictions (include dates if possible).

Email details to info@lehighvalleyimmigrationlawyers.com.

Family & hardship information

If easier, email with subject "ICE detention – family information."

A clear plan in a difficult moment.

After you contact us, we move quickly to confirm who has control, what's happening, and what options exist.

• Confirm the facility and the ICE office/court in control.
• Review immigration + criminal history for risks and leverage.
• Evaluate bond, parole, release, or other strategies (when available).
• Explain hearings, timelines, and what to expect next.

We regularly serve PA, NJ, and NY. For other states, we can often assist with strategy or referrals.

Search ICE detention records.

Start with what you have. Even partial information can return a result.

Option 1 — A-Number + country of birth (fastest)

• Enter the A-Number (Alien Registration Number) if you have it.
• Select their country of birth from the dropdown.
• Click search. If ICE has published a matching custody record, the locator will display it.

Option 2 — Name + date of birth + country

• Enter first name, last name, and country of birth.
• Add date of birth (month, day, year) to narrow results.
• If nothing shows, try alternate spellings or remove middle names.
