How do I confirm someone is at Broward Transitional?
Start at ice.gov/locator; an exact A-number returns one record, while a name may return several. Next, call (954) 973-4485 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the full name, aliases, date of birth and country of birth. New detentions may lag. Ask which weekend is assigned, because visits hang on it. If the search fails, contact the Miami Field Office, which ICE's facility page lists at (954) 236-4900. It covers Florida for ICE. A lawyer with a G-28 can use (954) 957-2796 to identify the deportation officer. Our directory lists other South Florida sites.
When are weekend and holiday visits?
As read October 31, 2026, men visit Saturday and Sunday 8 to 10:30 a.m. and Saturday 1:30 to 4 p.m. Women visit Sunday 1:30 to 4 p.m. Each person gets one 45-minute session on an assigned weekend, with up to 2 visitors, counting minors. ICE does not explain how weekends are assigned. Holidays need a call: ICE says only specific federal holidays and does not name them. Its holiday times also conflict: one list says men 8 to 10:30 a.m. and women 1:30 to 4 p.m., another 8 to 9:45 a.m. and 2 to 3:45 p.m., first come, first served.
What should I do before driving to Powerline Road?
ICE asks visitors to arrive one hour before the visit, a long lead for a 45-minute session. Bring valid government ID; a minor needs an adult guardian of 18 or older. Visits are non-contact, and you may not pass anything to the person. Weapons and electronics are barred, everyone is subject to search, and intoxicated visitors are refused. Map the address carefully: ICE's page and EOIR say Pompano Beach, while GEO's page says Deerfield Beach, with the same street number and ZIP, 33073. ICE publishes no dress code here, so ask at (954) 973-4485 if unsure.
How do mail, money and packages work here?
Letters must show the last 4 digits of the A-number and your name and address. ICE's page names no deposit vendor, commissary or phone-account steps, saying only that mailed funds are receipted and cash should not be mailed. Ask at (954) 973-4485 how to add money. Before sending a package, contact the Warden at (954) 957-2709. People being removed may get one small piece of luggage after GEO approval. No one here can take a call: give that line the full name, A-number, your name and your number. Tablet messaging is unsettled, gettingout.com on one ICE page, Talton on another.
