- DHS closes office of immigration detention watchdog
The Department of Homeland Security has shut down the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman, an office that served as a watchdog for those in immigration detention. The office allowed people to report misconduct, excessive force, or other violations of migrant rights. This closure has removed a key outlet for reporting abuses.
