The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is closing an office responsible for investigating misconduct and abuse in the immigration detention system. The Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman is in the process of removing all its public signage and ending its inspections.
Plenty of money for military-grade weapons and equipment, none for inspections or oversight
"The DHS Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman public-facing website, which advised the families and attorneys of detainees on how to file complaints, was down as of Monday afternoon. Even basic informational webpages explaining the office's responsibilities appeared to have been taken offline. A leaked email attributed the closure to a lack of funding in the recent Homeland Security appropriations bill that ended the shutdown affecting the agency."
Plenty of funds in DHS for military-grade weapons and equipment, but none for inspections or oversight. ICE is not NICE.
