Detention Operations

Detention operations in the context of immigration detention refer to the processes and practices used to hold individuals who are in the U.S. without proper authorization or those awaiting immigration hearings. These operations involve the management of facilities where detainees are held, ensuring their safety and security, providing basic needs, and facilitating legal processes. Agencies, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), oversee these operations, balancing enforcement of immigration laws with the rights and welfare of detainees. The goal is to maintain order while adhering to legal standards and human rights.
