This is so their relatives know that they're being sucked into the US ICE void. It's a precaution to try and help ensure people don't "disappear" for good. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of people becoming "mysteriously lost" after being detained by US authorities.

Too late for that if you're currently being detained.
