ICE: Restoring Order and Integrity to Congressional Visits to Detention Facilities
"ICE will now only facilitate meetings with detainees during congressional visits if
those aliens are specifically identified by the requesting office to ICE OCR by name, in a manner consistent with existing ICE policy, which requires detainee meeting requests be made at least two (2) business days prior to the visit. The requesting office must also submit valid proof of the alien’s consent to the meeting, such as a signed ICE Form 60-001.
This new policy is consistent with all applicable laws and court orders, and better balances ICE’s operational requirements to maintain the safety, security and order of our facilities with the high level of care we consistently provide to detainees in our custody and our obligations to support legitimate congressional oversight effort."
