Desperate Search: Family Struggles to Locate Missing Father-in-Law in ICE Custody in Atlanta

• Share on:

Cindy Aguilar of Haralson County has made three trips to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in downtown Atlanta in search of her father-in-law, Jose Aguilar, who was arrested after being pulled over in his work van. Despite her efforts, including inquiries with local law enforcement and ICE detention centers, she has not been able to locate him, as the online ICE database does not provide his detention facility information. The situation reflects a growing issue within the ICE detention system, which is reportedly overwhelmed and struggling to provide timely information to families trying to find detained loved ones.
