How do I locate someone held in Monroe, Michigan?
There is more than one Monroe, so check the state: this page covers Monroe, Michigan. Enter the A-number and country of birth, or name and country of birth, in the ICE Online Detainee Locator, which can be 8 hours behind. Then call (313) 771-6601 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. with full name, aliases, date and country of birth. The county has two sites, the jail and the Inmate Dormitory Facility, so ask which one. An entry on the ICE facility list proves nothing about one individual.
Are visits in person or video only?
The county says all visits are by video. ICE's page, updated August 6, 2026, still prints family hours on Saturdays and Sundays, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and says the dorm offers video only. Do not drive for a weekend window before calling (734) 240-8001. On-site kiosks sit in the dormitory lobby at 7000 East Dunbar Road. The county says check in 10 minutes early; ICE says 45. Visitors 17 and older need picture ID, and younger children must come with one. Phones cannot be used during visits.
How do I book and pay for a video visit?
Book at icsolutions.com; customer service is (888) 506-8407. The county charges $7 for 30 minutes offsite, with up to two visitors, and requires booking 48 hours to 2 weeks ahead. Its page lists 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, excluding mealtimes and counts. ICE gives 7:30 a.m. as the start in one place and 8 a.m. in another. County and ICE also differ on no-charge visits on site at the dorm: the county says one a week, ICE says two. Visits are monitored and recorded.
Where do I deposit money and send mail?
Deposits go through Access Corrections at accesscorrections.com or (866) 345-1884, with a processing fee shown at payment, or through a cash and card kiosk ICE places in the jail lobby at 100 E. Second Street. ICE warns the account can also be charged for housing and other fees, and balances may be applied to what is owed. Letters need the last 4 digits of the A-number. If someone is moved, only legal mail follows. Before sending a package, contact the Detroit ERO office: ICE allows only items needed for travel or release, with officer approval, and refuses electronics.
Who can help with the case or a court date?
ICE's Detroit office, which covers Michigan, is the contact at (313) 771-6601. Urgent messages go to the jail at (734) 240-8001, because people held here take no incoming calls. The Monroe County Sheriff's Department is a televideo site of the Detroit Immigration Court on EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026. Go by the notice and confirm the hearing. Attorneys may walk in Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; other times are scheduled. See the bond hearing guide on release.
