Freedom for Immigrants is a non-profit organization that monitors deportation processes and defends the human rights of immigrants in detention centers.
Freedom For Immigrants published a series of resources for people detained in deportation centers of the Immigration and Customs Control Service (ICE), valuable information for their families and acquaintances.
The first resource explains the ICE Detainee Locator, an internet platform designed to locate detained immigrants, for this it is necessary to have the detainee's A-Number, it is nine digits. However, Freedom for Immigrants warns about the flaws in the platform and its lack of updating, so they offer their support through the following telephone number: 209-757-3733.
