U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stops publicly disclosing the locations of thousands of detainees who have final removal (deportation) orders, according to an AP report carried by both outlets. The change makes it harder for lawyers and relatives to locate people in ICE custody.

The reporting says ICE ends or restricts public information that previously helped identify where detainees were being held. As a result, attorneys and family members may face delays or uncertainty when trying to determine a detainee’s whereabouts or to prepare legal proceedings tied to final orders. The outlets describe the development as a shift in ICE’s transparency practices.

While both sources focus on the same underlying AP investigation, they emphasize different implications—one highlights the scale (“thousands” of detainees), and the other underscores the practical effect on legal access and family contact. Both attribute the information to the AP exclusive and frame it as part of ICE’s custody and removal process for people subject to final deportation orders.
