The Office of Detention Policy and Planning (ODPP) leads U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) efforts to overhaul the current immigration detention system, an effort which requires extensive collaboration and consultation with both internal and external stakeholders.
ODPP is charged with designing a detention system that meets the unique needs of ICE’s detained population. ODPP will shape the future design, location and standards for civil immigration detention facilities so that ICE no longer relies primarily on existing penal models. ICE will consider access to legal services, emergency rooms and transportation hubs, among other factors when determining future facility locations.
ODPP spearheads ICE’s detention reform initiative by implementing short-term improvements to immediately address issues in the existing detention system, identifying long-term improvements and redesigning the detention system to pave the way toward 21st century immigration detention services. This includes providing detainees with access to high-quality and timely medical care while in ICE's custody.
