Subcommittee had in arraigning todays hearing arranging todays hearing. I. C. E. Declined to sit on the same panel with knack mote toe nakamoto, the contractor it chose. The departments lack of cooperation makes it more challenging for congress to do its job. At a meeting with dhs leaders, its important to the subcommittee to bring everyones voices together. Thats how we can best identify challenges and find ways to solve them. This issue is particularly important to me as two of i. C. E. s facilities detain upwards of 1300 migrants from in my home district. I visited these facilities, and i have concerns about some of the conditions of confinement. And im not alone in having these concerns. Dhss own office of Inspector General last year found these processes for oversight and con finement were insufficient to stay compliance with i. C. E. s own standards. It might be that inspectors are set up to fail. For example, i. C. E. Has a contractor who is responsible for evaluating compliance
