The Department of Homeland Security’s
(DHS) Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman (OIDO) is an
independent office tasked with resolving individual complaints from
or about individuals in immigration detention regarding the
potential violation of immigration detention standards or other
potential misconduct. OIDO was established by Congress (Sec. 106 of
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, Public Law 116-93). Its
intake form is intended for use by individuals wishing to submit a
complaint to OIDO. Information collected will provide the office

contact information; (2) the detained individual who is the subject
of the complaint; (3) the government-owned or contracted facility
where the individual is or was detained and for how long; and (4)
relevant details about the complaint. All of this information will
be used by OIDO to investigate, resolve, and if appropriate,
provide redress.
