Midwest Regional Reception Center (ICE) - CoreCivic is a maximum security facility located in Leavenworth, KS, a high custody immigration facility covering Leavenworth and surrounding counties in Kansas. The property has a reinforced perimeter with layers and rows of razor wire. Inmates are either housed in a cell on their own or with another inmate. Maximum security prisons normally house the most serious offenders, but ICE and Immigration Enforcement used the facility for alien felonies awaiting trial or deportation. The safety of inmates is closely monitored, with a large staff to inmate ratio, with 24/7 controlled movements around all areas of the facility. This prison is maintained behind heavy-duty perimeters, including walls and reinforced fences. Maximum security houses their inmates in single or multiple cell housing. There are cameras situated throughout the buildings for close monitoring of inmate actions. Inmates secured in high-security facilities are not trusted to work out in the field in any community programs. This prison has more leniency for recreation, education, and communication with the outside world.
Department of Homeland Security oversees the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and has been given additional resources,including increased personnel to carry out the directives of the new administration which is focusing on securing U.S> borders, enforcing current immigration laws, and targeting individuals who pose a threat to national security or public safety.
ICE has set priorities for the agency's enforcement resources to be focused on the identification and removal of those individuals who have broken criminal laws, recently crossed our border, repeatedly violated immigration law or are fugitives from immigration court.
ICE has an Online Detainee Locator System that can be used to locate a detainee who is currently in ICE custody, or who was released from ICE custody for any reason within the last 60 days (https://locator.ice.gov/odls/homePage.do). You will either need to know the detainee's A-Number. The A-Number must be exactly nine digits long. If the A-Number has fewer than nine digits, please add zeros at the beginning. You are also required to select the detainee's correct Country of Birth. When searching by name, a detainee's first and last names are required and must be an exact match (e.g., Jose Martinez will not find Josue Martinez or Jose Martinez-Herrera). You are also required to select the detainee's Country of Birth. It is optional to enter the Date of Birth.
