ICE announces launch of Online Detainee Locator System

WASHINGTON - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced today the launch of ICE's Online Detainee Locator System (ODLS), a public, Internet-based tool designed to assist family members, attorneys and other interested parties in locating detained aliens in ICE custody. The creation and implementation of the ODLS is a concrete example of ICE's commitment to detention reform.
The ODLS is located on ICE's public website, http://www.ice.gov , and provides users with information on the location of the detention facility where a particular individual is being held, a phone number to the facility and contact information for the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations office in the region where the facility is located. A brochure explaining how to use the ODLS is also available on the website in the following languages: English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic and Somali.
"The ODLS is an easy, accessible tool that allows family members and counsel to locate an individual in ICE custody in a matter of minutes," said Phyllis Coven, acting director of ICE's Office of Detention Policy and Planning. "ICE is making great strides in our effort to translate the principles of reform into innovative, practical and timely solutions."
ODLS users will be able to locate detained aliens by two different search methods. First, users can search by entering an individual's alien registration number, also known as their "A" number, and their country of birth. Users can also search by entering an individual's first name, last name, country of birth and date of birth.
Since the ODLS will be available for use on ICE's public website, the agency is committed to ensuring detainee privacy while making ODLS a useful tool for family members, attorneys and other related parties. Therefore, responses to ODLS queries are only generated if the data entered is an exact match of data in the system.
ICE will properly notify detained aliens that the accuracy of biographical information they provide to the agency will be very important in allowing their family members and counsel to locate them using the ODLS. Likewise, ODLS users will need to ensure that the information they are entering into the system (e.g.: proper spelling of a detained alien's first and last name) is correct.
The ODLS will not provide any additional biographical information about an individual detainee other than what the user has already entered into the system. For instance, if a user searches by first name, last name and country of birth, the system will not provide the detainee's "A" number and vice versa. ICE intentionally limits the availability of this data within the ODLS to ensure that users cannot phish the system for information.
On Aug. 6, 2009, ICE Assistant Secretary John Morton announced that the agency was undertaking sweeping reforms of the immigration detention system to improve medical and mental healthcare, conditions of confinement, fiscal prudence and ICE's critical oversight of the system. ICE's Office of Detention Policy and Planning (ODPP) was also created to August 2009 to spearhead the agency's detention reform efforts.
The creation and activation of the ODLS is one of many concrete steps ICE is taking to implement these reforms.

When the Border Patrol finds a dead body is it considered detained?
Will the IDed bodies be on this site?
Will the unidentified dead bodies be on the site as as John Doe?

I wonder if their site will have Sheriff Arpaio detention facilty called Section 1070 in tent city listed?
BTW, I love how he appropriately named it "Section 1070"
What does their new system do to handle multiple same names such as Jose Gonzalez with the same date of birth and country of origin?
Oops...bet they didn't think of that and may cause their system to go into overload..."Where is our democracy if the federal government can break the laws written and enacted by our congress on behalf of the people?"

Only 9 named Jose Gonzalez? I would have thought there would have been at least 900.
