Migri
If ICE takes you, your people will know within minutes
Migri runs quietly in the background and watches where you go. The moment something happens — a checkpoint, a raid, a detention — your attorney and the people who love you get a precise location and a chance to act.

Made by people who needed it themselves
We are immigrants. We have stood at the border not knowing if we would be let through. We have stopped answering unknown numbers. We have written our attorney's phone on our arm in case they took the phone away. Migri exists because we wanted something better for ourselves, our families, and the people who come after us.
How it works
Quietly tracks where you are
Migri uses your phone's location services in the background. It does not drain your battery and it does not announce itself.
Watches for places that matter
Detention centers, military sites, police stations, border checkpoints, restricted zones. If you cross into one, Migri knows.
Alerts your attorney and contacts
Within minutes, the people you trust know exactly where you are. Even if your phone has been taken away.
They act, fast
An attorney who knows where you are can call the right people. Family who knows can show up. You are not alone.
Minutes instead of days

Questions people ask us
Will Migri drain my battery?
No. Migri uses the low-power location services built into iPhone and Android. You can also choose Standby mode in settings, which uses even less.
Does it work if my phone is locked?
Yes. Tracking continues even when your phone is locked or the app is in the background.
What if they take my phone?
Migri keeps sending your last known position from the moments before. Your contacts receive a notification automatically.
What if I have no signal?
Your locations are saved on the device and sent as soon as you reconnect. Nothing is lost.
Can the government see this?
We are immigrants as you are. We do not give your data to anyone, and we collect almost nothing in the first place.
