What is Nlets? Nlets­ is a data sharing system that connects law enforcement databases, allowing ICE/CBP to access WA DOL information. In WA, state officials have taken some action to limit access to Nlets for some federal immigration agents, yet the number of searches—and arrests—continue to grow.
What is Nlets? Nlets is a 50 year old data-sharing system that connects law enforcement databases nationally, allowing federal agencies like ICE or CBP to access WA DOL information. Federal agents use Nlets to query the license plates of cars passing by to find information including the car’s registered owner and their home address.
What is an ORI? 
An ORI is a nine-character code that identifies the particular agency performing an Nlets query. WA state officials have the power to restrict Nlets access to ORIs that are using this information for civil immigration purposes, and have done so in some cases. However, these actions taken have not stopped the abuse. UWCHR research has found that agents are now submitting their queries under different ORIs.

ICE/CBP uses Nlets to identify people by entering the license plates of cars they see and retrieving information on the registered owner of the vehicle.
How Nlets is used in roadside arrests:
1. CBP/ICE surveillance: ICE and CBP agents surveil locations where they expect to find undocumented residents, or target vehicles they deem suspicious.

2. CBP/ICE searches license plate numbers in WA DOL data via Nlets:  Agents run license plate numbers in Nlets, obtaining information from WA DOL via WA State Patrol’s ACCESS—including name, address, vehicle registration information, and more.

3. CBP/ICE makes an arrest: DOL data can be used to cross-reference an individual’s immigration status. Agents can then proceed to arrest the driver while in traffic, or travel to their registered address to arrest them on a subsequent day.

October research update: As of October 1, 2026, UWCHR researchers have confirmed 298 cases in which federal immigration agents carried out an arrest on Washington roads after querying WA’s DOL database via Nlets. In September 2026, we opened investigations of 137 separate ICE/CBP encounters.
October Research Update: DOL-assisted roadside Immigration arrests in Washington state continue, 298 cases confirmed. UWCHR has confirmed 298 cases where WA drivers were arrested by ICE/CBP following a search of their license plate number in the WA DOL’s database via Nlets.  During September 2026, UWCHR began investigations of 137 separate ICE/CBP encounters reported by community members and advocates. These arrests follow searches performed by 36 unique ORIs affiliated with federal agencies. As WA officials block specific ORIs, alternative ORIs proliferate. Read the report: tinyurl.com/NletsWA

But ICE's numbers conceal more than they reveal. ICE data doesn’t tell us how many arrests are accompanied by violence; how many take place in the presence of children; or how many are preceded by the issuance of a lawful warrant.
But what does all of this mean for human rights? ICE’s numbers conceal more than they reveal. ICE doesn’t tell us how many are accompanied by violence; how many take place in the presence of children; or how many are preceded by the issuance of a lawful warrant. In fact, what community members and observers report is that many appear to be acts of opportunistic racial profiling, carried out by masked agents driving unmarked vehicles in ways that sow terror among affected communities.

Data shows the latest immigration enforcement surge in the PNW is driven by a massive increase in at-large arrests, including vehicular arrests, vs. custodial arrests where ICE arrests someone upon release from a jail or prison.
PNW 2026 trends: Latest surge driven by massive increase in at-large arrests, including vehicular arrests. Graph showing Seattle Area of Responsibility (WA, OR, AL) — Arrests per month; broken out by apprehension method of at-large arrests and custodial arrests reflects a massive increase in at-large arrests starting in early 2025, with a drop for two months in 2026, and then a dramatic increase in summer 2026. Roadside, in-home, and workplace arrests dramatically increased during late 2025, and again in summer 2026. Definitions: At-large arrests  occur out in the community (on the sides of roads, homes, or workplaces). Custodial arrests  occur when ICE arrests someone upon release from a jail or prison.
