flag DHS cut civil rights oversight, weakening monitoring of ICE detention facilities amid rising deaths and expanded capacity.

flag Civil rights oversight roles within the Department of Homeland Security have been cut, weakening internal monitoring of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities. flag Former employees and advocates warn the reductions—part of a broader federal workforce cut—have diminished checks on conditions, leaving detainees with fewer avenues to report abuse or neglect. flag Despite a funding boost that expanded ICE detention capacity to record levels and at least 15 deaths in fiscal year 2025, the loss of oversight offices has raised concerns about increased risks of preventable harm and systemic failures. flag DHS maintains remaining staff continue required duties efficiently, but critics argue the cuts undermine accountability and transparency.
