DHS ICE ERO Philadelphia Field Office – Philadelphia, PA

About ICE ERO Philadelphia

The Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Philadelphia Field Office is a primary operating location for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This federal law enforcement agency manages the apprehension, detention, and removal of foreign nationals who have violated U.S. immigration laws. The Philadelphia field office maintains jurisdiction over enforcement operations across Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia. Officers here supervise aliens on non-detained dockets, manage electronic monitoring programs (ISAP), and coordinate the logistical removal of individuals to their countries of origin.

Services and Appointments

Access to this facility is primarily for individuals under ICE supervision who have scheduled reporting requirements. The office handles:

• Order of Supervision (OSUP) Reporting: Regular check-ins for individuals released from custody.
• Bond Postings: Processing of immigration bonds for detained individuals (note: CeBONDS online system is now the primary method, but inquiries are handled here).
• Case Management: Updates on immigration status and compliance verification.

Security and Entry Policy

As a high-security federal facility, strict entry protocols are enforced. Visitors must present valid government-issued photo identification. All individuals are subject to airport-style security screening. Mobile phones, smartwatches, and electronic devices are strictly prohibited inside the waiting areas and offices; they must be left in your vehicle or a locker if available. Firearms and weapons are banned on federal property.

Important Information

For family members seeking information about a detainee, it is recommended to have the individual’s Alien Registration Number (A-Number) ready. Bond payments are increasingly managed through the online CeBONDS system, though cashier’s checks or money orders (payable to ‘U.S. Department of Homeland Security’) may be required for specific in-person processes. 🏛️👮‍♂️🛂🇺🇸🚫📱
