How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Stewart Detention schedules legal visits online through ICE's Detention Facility Appointment Scheduler. You'll need an ERO eFile account to request a visit. Got an urgent, last-minute scheduling issue and can't use ERO eFile? The facility also accepts phone and email requests. Virtual Attorney Visit (VAV) sessions are strictly for legal representatives, legal assistants, and interpreters—family and friends cannot join. Attorneys must present appropriate identification (such as a bar card) before the scheduled VAV. Legal visits are confidential and not monitored audibly. Private consultation rooms are provided, with a visitation officer stationed outside for safety. ICE standards call for visiting hours on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, with weekday and evening hours when practicable. Adult visitors must show a government-issued photo ID before admission.
