How do I confirm someone is at Stewart and find the gate?
ICE's brochure warns the locator's name search is exact-match, so try spelling variations from the passport and the Notice to Appear; the facility directory cannot confirm anyone. Then call (229) 838-5000 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. For the drive, ICE gives 146 CCA Road, Lumpkin, GA 31815, and 79 Holder Road for GPS. CoreCivic says to park in marked spaces that are not reserved.

Enter with government picture ID only; leave purses, phones, money and wallets locked in the car.

A baby may have one bottle and one diaper with wipes, without a bag.
