AP Exclusive: ICE hides locations of thousands of detainees with final removal orders
· KRGV (NBC 5)
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has ceased publicly disclosing the locations of thousands of detainees with final deportation orders, complicating efforts for lawyers and families to locate them. This change, effective September 15, has raised concerns among immigration attorneys, as it could hinder last-minute legal challenges and expedite deportations. Nearly 16,000 individuals detained in July were subject to final orders, with many now untraceable. While ICE maintains that due process has been followed, the lack of transparency adds to the distress of families and legal representatives, who fear their loved ones may have been deported without notice.
