Vehicle Missing After Border Patrol Detention. What Legal Steps Can The Registered Owner Take To Locate Or Recover It?

Hi everyone,

A person I know was detained by US Border Patrol and later released. Since the detention, the owner has been unable to locate a financed vehicle that was being driven at the time. The vehicle is financed through Ally, insured through Progressive, and was in good standing before all of this happened.

Since his release, he has:
Contacted multiple agencies trying to locate the vehicle.
Contacted the lender and insurance company.
Checked court records and followed up on his immigration case.
Started reaching out to legal aid and immigrant-rights organizations.

The problem is that nobody has been able to clearly tell him:
Where the vehicle is.
Whether it was seized, impounded, or sent to a tow company.
Whether fees are accumulating.
Whether notices were mailed.
How he can recover the vehicle.

His biggest concern is not only losing the vehicle but also suffering financial damage from loan payments, possible storage fees, insurance costs, and harm to his credit history despite actively trying to resolve the situation.

I am looking for legal advice as well some personal experiences, opinions, or suggestions from people who have gone through a similar situation.

Thank you very much. Any shared experience would be greatly appreciated. ❤️
