Recent immigration enforcement actions have led to a significant increase in the detention of Ukrainian nationals across the United States. Between January 2025 and early March 2026, more than 370 Ukrainians were placed in ICE detention, with many lacking criminal records and some even possessing valid humanitarian parole or other lawful statuses. Individuals have been detained during routine traffic stops, while working as rideshare or truck drivers, at construction sites, during USCIS interviews, and at immigration court hearings. Commercial truck drivers appear to face heightened risk due to federal employment authorization requirements tied to commercial driver's licenses. When a loved one is detained, locating them quickly is critical. The primary resource is the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, which allows searches using the person's Alien Registration Number (A-Number) or their full legal name, date of birth, and country of birth. Because ICE records may take 24 to 48 hours to update, families may also need to contact local ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) offices, correctional facilities, or other detention centers directly. Additional resources exist for locating detained minors, individuals held in local or state jails, and those housed in federal Bureau of Prisons facilities. Once a detainee has been located, families should determine whether the individual has pending immigration court proceedings. Immigration court information can be obtained through the Department of Justice's Automated Case Information System using the person's A-Number. However, not every detained individual is entitled to a hearing before an immigration judge. Individuals with prior removal orders, certain aggravated felony convictions, or previous expedited removal orders may face removal without additional court proceedings. Obtaining experienced legal representation is often essential. Immigration attorneys can assist in locating detained individuals, communicating with ICE, requesting bond hearings where available, filing emergency habeas corpus petitions for individuals who are ineligible for bond, and representing detainees throughout removal proceedings. Several nonprofit organizations and attorney referral services provide resources for both detained individuals and their families. Finally, families should be aware that additional support services are available beyond legal representation. Organizations such as Freedom for Immigrants operate multilingual hotlines for detained individuals and their loved ones, while immigrant advocacy organizations provide guidance on visitation, communication, court procedures, and other practical matters. Even if an individual is released from detention through bond or other legal relief, they generally remain subject to ongoing removal proceedings and must continue attending all required immigration court hearings.
