Immigration and Customs Enforcement does not fully use contracting tools to hold detention facility contractors accountable for failing to meet performance standards
Place of Publication:
Washington, DC : Office of Inspector General, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 2019.
Summary:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) contracts with 106 detention facilities to detain removable aliens. In this review we sought to determine whether ICE contracting tools hold immigration detention facilities to applicable detention standards, and whether ICE imposes consequences when contracted immigration detention facilities do not maintain standards. We made five recommendations to improve contract oversight and compliance of ICE detention facility contractors.
Contents:
Background.
Results of inspection.
ICE does not consistently use contract-based quality assurance tools and impose consequences for contract noncompliance.
ICE's waiver process may allow contract facilities to circumvent detention standards and may inhibit proper contract oversight.
Organizational placement and overextension of CORs impede monitoring of detention facilities.
Lack of direct access to important contract files hinders CORs' and DSMs' ability to monitor detention contracts.
Conclusion.
Recommendations.
Appendixes.
