Why is an Arizona facility under the San Diego office?
San Luis is in Arizona, yet ICE's page, updated August 6, 2026, names the San Diego Field Office, (619) 436-0410. ICE's office list gives Phoenix all of Arizona and San Diego only San Diego and Imperial County, and the page does not explain the assignment. So use the contacts this page gives. Case information requests go to Deportations.ECC@ice.dhs.gov, a mailbox that takes no stay requests or appeals. The Calexico, California sub-office, (760) 768-6300, names the deportation officer once a G-28 is on file. That sub-office does not appear on ICE's California office list, so note the date you reached it.
How do I check if someone is really there?
Search ice.gov/locator using country of birth with the A-number, or with the name exactly as it appears on the detention record. People under 18 do not appear, and ICE's brochure says a new arrival may not show immediately. Then call (928) 627-2101 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. with every name the person uses, date of birth and country of birth. That number is the one phone route ICE gives here. With no tablets on site and no incoming calls, it also takes urgent messages: give the full name, A-number, your name and your callback number.
Which days are for men and which for women?
ICE lists men on Tuesday through Saturday and women on Sunday and Monday, each from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. A social visit must be scheduled by phone 24 hours in advance, and ICE's stated hours for (928) 627-2101 end at 4 p.m., so call during the day before you travel. Family visits here are non-contact, and nothing may be passed to the person or carried into the visiting area. The page states no visit length or visitor limit, so ask both when you book. ICE says public parking on site costs nothing.
Where do letters, packages and money go?
Use the post office box for letters: detainee name, A-number, San Luis Regional Detention and Support Center, P.O. Box 7710, San Luis, AZ 85349. ICE's name there differs slightly from the page title, so copy it exactly, and add your name and address. Only items needed for travel or release are allowed, with the ICE Deportation Officer's approval; contact the Warden first at 406 N. Avenue D, San Luis, Arizona 85349. On money, the page names no deposit method or address. It says only that funds received by mail get a receipt, and it warns against mailing cash. Ask at (928) 627-2101 before sending any.
How does a lawyer visit, and what about court?
In-person attorney visits run Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., with a 24-hour advance call. Video or confidential calls are requested at SLDC-Legal_visits@lasallecorrections.com, in 30- to 60-minute increments between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Legal faxes go to (928) 627-1057 or (928) 627-1175. ICE's page names no immigration court, only the general line, 1-800-898-7180, so use the hearing lookup guide. The bond hearing guide covers custody, and removal defense covers the case itself.
