U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is committed to intelligent, effective, safe, and humane enforcement of the nation's immigration laws. ICE seeks to enforce these laws fairly and with respect for individual rights and circumstances. To these ends, ICE has created the position of public advocate. The public advocate works directly for ICE's Executive Assistant Director of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). This individual builds constructive relationships with the community and helps resolve problems or concerns related to immigration enforcement or detention. The public advocate works with stakeholders that include individuals, the public, nongovernmental organizations, faith-based organizations, and advocacy groups. ICE ERO is committed to a transparent process and to resolving your concerns at the earliest opportunity available.
All information submitted to the Office of the Public Advocate is collected and protected under the provisions of the Privacy Act. By submitting this information, you are consenting to our review of your information and allowing us to share information within ICE on your behalf.
The public reporting burden to complete this information collection is estimated at one hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the necessary data, and completing and reviewing the collected information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number and expiration date. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the Office of the Public Advocate at EROPublicAdvocate@ice.dhs.gov.
Please note that the Office of the Public Advocate does not have the statutory authority to make or change ICE decisions.
