DryICE
Open the map
See recent community reports around you, plus the permanent layer of ICE facilities. Works in the browser or as an app on your phone.
Now with every ICE facility nationwide on the map
Know what's happening near you.
DryICE is a free, community-powered map of ICE activity. See sightings reported by neighbors, every ICE detention facility and field office in the country, and get a quiet heads-up when something is reported close to you.
How it works
Three simple steps
No special equipment, no training. If you can open a map, you can help your community stay informed.
Report what you see
Drop a pin, add a short note and an optional photo. Reports are marked confirmed, uncertain or not seen and automatically expire after 24 hours.
Get a heads-up
Turn on notifications and you'll be alerted when a new report lands within your radius or near a saved favorite location such as home, work or school.
Features
Built for awareness, not alarm
Every feature is designed to give you clear, verifiable information without noise.
ICE facilities map layer New
Every ICE detention facility and field office nationwide — ERO, HSI and OPLA offices included — shown as a permanent layer on the map, separate from community sightings. Built from public ice.gov listings and refreshed monthly so it stays current.
- Detention facilities (with supervising field office)
- ERO field offices
- HSI offices
- OPLA legal offices & other ICE offices
Live community map
Sightings reported by people nearby appear on the map in real time, with the time, a short description and optional photo.
Votes & reliability
Neighbors vote reports up or down and the reporter can mark a status — confirmed, uncertain or not seen — so you can judge how much to trust each pin.
Proximity alerts
Push notifications when a report is made within 5 miles of you (20 miles with Premium), on web, Android and iOS.
Favorite locations
Save the places that matter — home, work, school — and get alerted about reports near them even when you're somewhere else.
Reports expire in 24h
Stale pins are automatically removed after a day, so the map reflects what's happening now — not last month.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is this legal?
Sharing what you personally observe in public is generally protected speech in the United States, and all information in DryICE is contributed by community members about public places. The ICE facilities layer is built from data ICE itself publishes on ice.gov.
DryICE is for awareness and safety. Please use it responsibly: do not interfere with law enforcement, do not post personal information about individuals, and follow our Terms of Service. DryICE is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
How accurate are the reports?
Reports come from people like you, so treat them as tips rather than confirmed facts. To help you judge each one, DryICE shows community up/down votes, a status set by the reporter (confirmed, uncertain or not seen), the report time and any attached photo. Spam reports can be flagged, repeat offenders are removed, and every report expires automatically after 24 hours so outdated pins don't linger.
What data do you collect?
Only what the app needs to work: an account (email or Google/Apple sign-in), your approximate location while you use the map and to send nearby alerts, the reports and favorite locations you create, and a push-notification token if you enable alerts. We don't run ads or sell data. You can delete your account and its data at any time from the app. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.
What's in the ICE facilities layer?
Every ICE detention facility and every ICE office listed publicly on ice.gov — Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) field offices, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) offices and Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA) offices — with address, type and, where published, the supervising field office. The dataset is regenerated monthly from those public listings; a few entries are geocoded to city level when a street address can't be resolved and are marked as approximate.
Do I need an account?
You can browse the map without one. To post reports, vote, save favorite locations or receive notifications you'll need a free account — sign up with email, Google or Apple.
How do notifications work, and what does Premium change?
Once you allow notifications, DryICE alerts you when a new report is made within 5 miles of your last known location or near your favorite location. Premium extends the radius to 20 miles and lets you save up to 10 favorite locations. Premium is $4.99/month or $49.99/year after a 3-day free trial, and can be cancelled anytime from Stripe (web), Google Play or the App Store.
Stay informed. Keep each other safe.
