"The lawmakers, including Senator Ben Ray Lujan and House representatives Veronica Escobar and Lauren Underwood, say in the letter that without a functional locator system, DHS is effectively creating disappearances on US soil."
"Reports now indicate that many detained individuals are not showing up in the online detainee locator system in a timely fashion, raising serious concerns about the reliability of the system."
A group of 36 lawmakers, led by Senator Elizabeth Warren, is urging an investigation into the Department of Homeland Security's online detainee locator system. They assert that the system has become increasingly unreliable since January 2025, leading to disappearances of individuals on US soil. The letter highlights that the system, created in 2010, was intended to help family members and attorneys track detained individuals. Complaints have surged since the Trump administration, with many detainees not appearing in the system in a timely manner.
