THE DETENTION FILES A public accountability project of LULAC

REPORT ABUSE

Your story is evidence.

If you, a family member, or a client experienced abuse, medical neglect, or retaliation in immigration detention, or if you work inside a facility and have seen it, you can report it here. You decide who sees it. Nothing about your immigration status is required.

I am

Facility

Any facility, not only GEO or CoreCivic sites.

When it happened

What happened

Who may see this report

Choose one. You can change your choice later by contacting us, and we will never move a report to a wider tier without asking you first.

Attorneys only

Reviewed by LULAC's legal team and referred to counsel if you want. Not shared with anyone else.

Oversight bodies

May be shared with Congress, inspectors general, and state attorneys general, with your identifying details, to support an investigation.

Public, anonymous

May be described publicly with no names, dates, or details that could identify you or your family.

Public, with my name

You choose to be named. We will confirm with you in writing before any use, every time.

Optional: how to reach you

Never required. If you leave this blank, we cannot follow up, but your report still counts.

Name or nickname

Phone, email, or a safe way to reach you

Retaliation is documented too. Reports of punishment for speaking up, including transfers, segregation, or loss of privileges, are treated as their own incident. Tell us if it happens.

Received. Reports in the attorneys-only tier are reviewed within five business days. If you gave us a way to reach you, we will use only that method.

Working inside a facility?

Employees, contractors, and medical providers have a separate channel. Reports from staff are held in the attorneys-only tier by default, counsel reviews whistleblower protections before any use, and we never contact your employer.

The honest fine print

Submitting a report does not create an attorney-client relationship and is not legal advice.
Records may be subject to legal process. Counsel is deciding how reports are stored and routed before public launch; until then, this form is a prototype and does not transmit data.
We will never ask for your immigration status, A-number, or documents to file a report.
If you need to find someone in ICE custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System; we cannot locate people.
