ICE House Stays
A secure, verified accommodation directory connecting Airbnb & Vrbo hosts with ICE and CBP federal officers.
Overview
Federal law enforcement officers often face uncertainty when booking short-term rentals. Not all hosts welcome their profession, creating potential security concerns. Officers need assurance that their host is trustworthy and their identity is protected.
Meanwhile, hosts need to know they're dealing with legitimate federal personnel. There's no existing platform that solves this trust gap on both sides.
- Uncertainty about host attitudes toward law enforcement
- No way to verify host identity or legitimacy
- Risk of fraudulent or misleading listings
- No peer reviews from fellow officers
