AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoICE Detention Oversight Push: U.S. Sens. Cory Booker and Andy Kim unveiled a plan to reopen the DHS Immigration Detention Ombudsman after the death of Salvadoran detainee Edwin Lopez-Cornejo at Newark’s Delaney Hall, proposing about $115 million to fund the watchdog for four years and to penalize contractors like GEO Group if standards are violated.
