Department of Justice Of?ce of Refugee Resettlement 950 Ave, NW 330 Street, SW Washington, D.C. 20530 Washington, DC. 20201 Commissioner Kevin McAleenan Acting Director Thomas Homan Customs and Border Protection Immigration and Customs Enforcement 1300 Ave., NW 500 12?'1 Street, SW. Washington, DC. 20229 Washington, DC 20536 Dear Secretary Azar, Secretary Nielsen, Attorney General Sessions, Director Lloyd, Commissioner McAleenan and Acting Director Homan: We are writing to request a member-level brie?ng from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding the family separation policy enacted by this Administration. The failure of these agencies to provide the public, parents that have been detained, attorneys representing detained children and adults and Congressional of?ces meaningful information is unacceptable. It has become clear that CBP, ICE and ORR did not engage in any meaningful coordination prior to putting the cruel family separation policy in place and currently have no formal plan to ensure that families are reunited. Staff from Congressional of?ces have made many attempts to gain basic information about the families that have been separated, the children in the care of OR and how parents will be able to locate and ultimately be reunited with their children and your agencies have been unwilling or unable to answer those inquiries. Your agencies are responsible for ensoring the safety and care of migrant adults and children when detained by the government and Congress is responsible for ensuring that agencies in the Executive Branch are operating to the highest standard and within the bounds of the law. Therefore, we request that you schedule a member level briefing regarding the family separation crisis, how you intend to reunify the families in accordance with Judge Sabraw?s order, and that your agencies establish phone lines for Congressional offices to expedite case work related to the family separation policy. Please contact Hilary Gawrilow with Congressman Polis and Kate Sehisler (kate.sohisler@mail.house.gov) with Congressman Beyer to set up a time, date and location for the brie?ng. Donald S. Beyer, Jr. Sincerely, Member of Congress Darren Soto Md Huffman r: Member of Congress Member of Congress Member of Congress Eleanor Holmes Norton Bill Foster Me ber of Congress Member of Congress A L.
