Congressional Advocacy

Members of Congress can visit detention facilities and ask to speak with certain individuals who are detained.

In some cases, they can also raise someone’s case in Congressional hearings or write letters that could help advocate for someone in detention, but consent from the person detained is needed.

Have a signed Privacy Waiver (ICE Form 60-001) from the person who is detained.

Most congressional offices have a case liaison team that can use that form to speak with someone detained by ICE.
