Migration Policy Institute Report: Can ICE Meet Its Immigration Detention Mandates?

The Migration Policy Institute today issued a report exploring whether U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is capable of meeting its legal and case management responsibilities in light of its use of information systems that may not be collecting all the data necessary for compliance with legal, detention management and humanitarian standards.

As an aside, whenever I hear the acronym ICE for Immigration & Customs Enforcement, I think of the character Iceman played by Val Kilmer in Top Gun, a hit film in the 1980s.  I don’t know why because Val was kind of cool in that role and I never think of ICE as in any way cool.
