How do I check whether someone is at FDC Honolulu?
FDC Honolulu holds federal inmates generally, and ICE's facility directory does not show which ICE detainees are there. After searching ice.gov/locator, call the ICE Honolulu line, (808) 529-1970, between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Ask in the same call for the person's BOP register number, because ICE requires it on mail and BOP needs it for money. If the locator shows nothing, ICE's brochure says to contact the field office. These ICE details carry an August 6, 2026 page date and were read October 31, 2026.
How do family visits work at FDC Honolulu?
ICE prints no family hours and points to BOP's page, whose schedule we could not read, so call first. BOP's handbook, updated May 2, 2022, ordinarily limits immigration detainees to immediate family. The person lists visitors, each returns a Visitor Request form, and only approved people may come. Children must be on the list too, and it ordinarily holds 10 names. Family with a different last name must submit proof of relationship. Visitors under 16 need an adult 18 or older who is also listed. Adults need government photo ID. BOP's visiting notice printed 603-342-4000 when read, while ICE shows (808) 838-4200; use Honolulu's.
Where do I send letters to FDC Honolulu?
ICE's mailing address is FDC Honolulu, Federal Detention Center, P.O. Box 30080, Honolulu, HI 96820, not the Elliott Street location. Letters must carry the last four digits of the A-number, the BOP register number, and your name and address. Mail is screened for contraband, and the delivering officer inspects rather than reads it. For travel or release items, a deportation officer must approve first, so call ICE ERO Honolulu at (808) 529-1970 before shipping. Electronic devices are refused. Non-confidential messages run through TRULINCS, where BOP says both sides must consent to monitoring.

Who handles the case from Hawaii?
The page calls (808) 529-1970 the Honolulu Sub-office and field office main line.
