US Department of Homeland Security & US Immigration and Customs Enforcement – DETENTION OPERATIONS MANUAL
The Office of Detention and Removal (DRO) is a division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). DRO secures bed space in detention facilities, and monitors these
facilities for compliance with national Detention Standards. The
standards specify the living conditions appropriate for detainees.
These standards have been collated and published in the Detention Operations Manual (see below). This Manual provides uniform policies and procedures concerning the treatment of individuals detained by ICE.
