🧭 Understanding your check-in requirements
Many migrants are currently required to report to ICE for periodic check-ins. In 2025, these appointments may include physical check-ins at local ICE offices or remote supervision via phone or app. Some individuals are also placed in Alternatives to Detention (ATD) programs involving GPS ankle monitors or SmartLINK app monitoring.
While these measures can feel intimidating, they are often used in place of detention and can give individuals the opportunity to remain with family while their immigration case continues.
📱 What to expect during supervision
ICE check-ins: May occur every few weeks or months. Stay calm, bring your ID and immigration documents.
GPS monitoring: May involve an ankle bracelet that tracks your movements. Follow guidelines strictly to avoid violations.
SmartLINK App: A mobile app where ICE may send video or location check-in requests. Keep your phone charged and notifications on.
✅ How to stay compliant and protected
Attend every check-in on time. Missing one can trigger a warrant.
Keep your legal documents organized and bring copies to appointments.
Let your attorney know if your check-in schedule changes or if ICE contacts you unexpectedly.
🤝 Alternatives to Detention: Know your options
These programs are not permanent. In some cases, your attorney can request:
Removal of ankle monitor
Reduced check-in frequency
Motion to terminate proceedings if relief is available
❓ FAQs – ICE Check-ins & Supervision
