SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The U.S. Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) Office of the 

Immigration Detention Ombudsman 

(OIDO) is giving notice that it proposes 

to establish a new DHS system of 

records notice (SORN) titled, ‘‘DHS/ 

OIDO–001 Office of the Immigration 

Detention Ombudsman System of 

Records.’’ OIDO is an independent 

component within DHS tasked with 

reviewing and resolving individual 

complaints and providing independent 

oversight of immigration detention 

facilities, including conducting 

announced and unannounced 

inspections, reviewing contract terms 

for immigration detention facilities and 

services, and making recommendations 

and reporting to Congress on findings. 

OIDO was established by Congress in 

Section 106 of the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2020 (Pub. L. 116– 

93, 133 Stat. 2504 (Dec. 20, 2019), as 

codified by 6 U.S.C. 205, which 

outlined OIDO’s core responsibilities: 

• Establish and administer an 

independent, neutral, and confidential 

process to receive, investigate, resolve, 

and provide redress, including referral 

for investigation to the Office of 

Inspector General, referral to U.S. 

Citizenship and Immigration Services 

(USCIS) for immigration relief, or any 

other action determined appropriate, for 

cases in which Department officers or 

other personnel, or contracted, 

subcontracted, or cooperating entity 

personnel, are found to have engaged in 

misconduct or violated the rights of 

individuals in immigration detention; 

• Establish an accessible and 

standardized process regarding 

complaints against any officer or 

employee of U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) or U.S. Immigration 

and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or any 

contracted, subcontracted, or 

cooperating entity personnel, for 

violations of law, standards of 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
49554 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 169 / Friday, September 3, 2021 / Notices 

professional conduct, contract terms, or 

policy related to immigration detention; 

• Conduct unannounced inspections 

of detention facilities holding 

individuals in federal immigration 

custody, including those owned or 

operated by units of state or local 

government and privately-owned or 

operated facilities; 

• Review, examine, and make 

recommendations to address concerns 

or violations of contract terms identified 

in reviews, audits, investigations, or 

detainee interviews regarding 

immigration detention facilities and 

services; 

• Provide assistance to individuals 

affected by potential misconduct, 

excessive force, or violations of law or 

detention standards by DHS officers or 

other personnel, or contracted, 

subcontracted, or cooperating entity 

personnel; and 

• Ensure that the functions performed 

by the Ombudsman are complementary 

to existing functions within the DHS. 

In order to accomplish those 

responsibilities, OIDO is creating this 

system of records to collect and 

maintain records related to individual 

complaints from or about individuals in 

immigration detention regarding 

potential violations of law, individual 

rights, standards of professional 

conduct, contract terms, or policy 

related to immigration detention by any 

officer or employee of CBP or ICE, or 

any contracted, subcontracted, or 

cooperating entity personnel. The DHS/ 

OIDO system of records covers 

information that is received by OIDO in 

response to individuals submitting a 

complaint via OIDO’s Case Intake Form. 

The form is currently paper-based and 

in the future will be fillable 

electronically. This form is not required 

to submit a case to OIDO; however, a 

properly completed form ensures that 

OIDO receives the necessary 

information to assist with a case. OIDO 

will use and maintain the data collected 

within OIDO’s case management system 

to manage, process, track, and respond 

to complaints and inform and manage 

investigations. 

OIDO will use information collected 

to triage the complaint and link it with 

any previous cases related to the same 

detainee, as well as for proper consent, 

jurisdiction, and exigent circumstances. 

The information will also be used to 

verify information about the complaint 

in systems maintained by ICE, CBP, and 

other DHS headquarters offices. Once 

assigned for resolution, OIDO will 

review the data provided, conduct 

necessary background research about 

the complaint, and engage with DHS 

components (primarily ICE and CBP) to 

come to a resolution. To facilitate the 

resolution process, information in this 

system of records may be shared with 

DHS components and offices (and 

occasionally other Departments 

involved in the immigration process, 

including the Departments of State and 

Justice) for identification, verification, 

and corroboration purposes. OIDO will 

then communicate the result to the 

submitter of the complaint, to the extent 

the submitter of the complaint is 

permitted to receive any of the Privacy 

Act protected information that is subject 

to this SORN or other applicable and 

relevant SORNs. As a follow up to 

complaints and/or areas of concern, 

OIDO may also use data to inform future 

investigations and recommendations. 

Consistent with DHS’s information 

sharing mission, information stored in 

the DHS/OIDO–001 Office of the 

Immigration Detention Ombudsman 

System of Records may be shared with 

other DHS Components that have a need 

to know the information to carry out 

their national security, law enforcement, 

immigration, intelligence, or other 

homeland security functions. In 

addition, DHS/OIDO may share 

information with appropriate federal, 

state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or 

international government agencies 

consistent with the routine uses set 

forth in this system of records notice. 

This newly established system will be 

included in DHS’s inventory of record 

systems. 

II. Privacy Act 

The fair information practice 

principles found in the Privacy Act 

underpin the statutory framework 

governing the means by which Federal 

Government agencies collect, maintain, 

use, and disseminate individuals’ 

records. The Privacy Act applies to 

information that is maintained in a 

‘‘system of records.’’ A ‘‘system of 

records’’ is a group of any records under 

the control of an agency from which 

information is retrieved by the name of 

an individual or by some identifying 

number, symbol, or other identifying 

particular assigned to the individual. In 

the Privacy Act, an individual is defined 

as U.S. citizens and lawful permanent 

residents. Additionally, the Judicial 

Redress Act (JRA) provides covered 

persons with a statutory right to make 

requests for access and amendment to 

covered records, as defined by the JRA, 

along with judicial review for denials of 

such requests. In addition, the JRA 

prohibits disclosures of covered records, 

except as otherwise permitted by the 

Privacy Act. 

Below is the description of the DHS/ 

OIDO–001 Office of the Immigration 

Detention Ombudsman System of 

Records. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), 

DHS has provided a report of this 

system of records to the Office of 

Management and Budget and to 

Congress.

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
49556 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 169 / Friday, September 3, 2021 / Notices 

subject to the same Privacy Act

this SORN, for purposes of testing new 

technology. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

DHS/OIDO stores records in this 

system electronically or on paper in 

secure facilities in a locked drawer 

behind a locked door. The records may 

be stored on magnetic disc, tape, and 

digital media. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

DHS/OIDO may retrieve records by 

any of the personal identifiers listed 

above, such as name, A-Number, date of 

birth, or complaint number. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

DHS/OIDO is in the process of 

drafting a proposed records retention 

schedule for the information 

maintained. DHS/OIDO is currently 

working with NARA to establish the 

records retention schedule and will 

adhere to it once finalized. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

DHS/OIDO safeguards records in this 

system according to applicable rules 

and policies, including all applicable 

DHS automated systems security and 

access policies. DHS/OIDO has imposed 

strict controls to minimize the risk of 

compromising the information that is 

being stored. Access to the computer 

system containing the records in this 

system is limited to those individuals 

who have a need to know the 

information for the performance of their 

official duties and who have appropriate 

clearances or permissions. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

The Secretary of Homeland Security 

has exempted this system from the 

notification, access, and amendment 

procedures of the Privacy Act, and the 

Judicial Redress Act if applicable, 

because it is a law enforcement system. 

However, DHS/OIDO will consider 

individual requests to determine 

whether or not information may be 

released. Thus, individuals seeking 

access to and notification of any record 

contained in this system of records, or 

seeking to contest its content, may 

submit a request in writing to the Chief 

Privacy Officer or Chief Freedom of 

Information Act Officer, whose contact 

information can be found at http://

www.dhs.gov/foia under ‘‘Contact 

Information.’’ If an individual believes 

more than one component maintains 

Privacy Act records concerning him or 

her, the individual may submit the 

request to the Chief Privacy Officer and 

Chief Freedom of Information Act 

Officer, U.S. Department of Homeland 

Security, Washington, DC 20528–0655. 

Even if neither the Privacy Act nor the 

Judicial Redress Act provide a right of 

access, certain records about you may be 

available under the Freedom of 

Information Act. 

When an individual is seeking records 

about himself or herself from this 

system of records or any other 

Departmental system of records, the 

individual’s request must conform with 

the Privacy Act regulations set forth in 

6 CFR part 5. The individual must first 

verify his/her identity, meaning that the 

individual must provide his/her full 

name, current address, and date and 

place of birth. The individual must sign 

the request, and the individual’s 

signature must either be notarized or 

submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law 

that permits statements to be made 

under penalty of perjury as a substitute 

for notarization. While no specific form 

is required, an individual may obtain 

forms for this purpose from the Chief 

Privacy Officer and Chief Freedom of 

Information Act Officer, http://

www.dhs.gov/foia or 1–866–431–0486. 

In addition, the individual should: 

• Explain why he or she believes the 

Department would have information 

being requested; 

• Identify which component(s) of the 

Department he or she believes may have 

the information; 

• Specify when the individual 

believes the records would have been 

created; and 

• Provide any other information that 

will help the FOIA staff determine 

which DHS component agency may 

have responsive records; 

If the request is seeking records 

pertaining to another living individual, 

the request must include an 

authorization from the individual whose 

record is being requested, authorizing 

the release to the requester. 

Without the above information, the 

component(s) may not be able to 

conduct an effective search, and the 

individual’s request may be denied due 

to lack of specificity or lack of 

compliance with applicable regulations. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

For records covered by the Privacy 

Act or covered JRA records, individuals 

may make a request for amendment or 

correction of a record of the Department 

about the individual by writing directly 

to the Department component that 

maintains the record, unless the record 

is not subject to amendment or 

correction. The request should identify 

each particular record in question, state 

the amendment or correction desired, 

and state why the individual believes 

that the record is not accurate, relevant, 

timely, or complete. The individual may 

submit any documentation that would 

be helpful. If the individual believes 

that the same record is in more than one 

system of records, the request should 

state that and be addressed to each 

component that maintains a system of 

records containing the record. Even if 

neither the Privacy Act nor the Judicial 

Redress Act provide a right of access, 

individuals may seek to amend records 

following the ‘‘access procedures’’ 

above. DHS/OIDO, in its discretion, may 

choose to make the requested 

amendment. However, neither this 

system of records notice, nor DHS/OIDO 

making a requested amendment, confers 

to individuals any right to access, 

contest, or amend records not covered 

by the Privacy Act or JRA. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

See ‘‘Record Access Procedures’’ 

above. 

EXEMPTIONS PROMULGATED FOR THE SYSTEM: 

The Secretary of Homeland Security, 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) and 

(k)(5), has exempted this system from 

the following provisions of the Privacy 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3); (d); (e)(1), 

(e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I); and (f). 

Additionally, when this system receives 

a record from another system exempted 

in that source system under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(j)(2), (k)(2), and (k)(5), DHS will 

claim the same exemptions for those 

records that are claimed for the original 

primary systems of records from which 

they originated and claims any 

additional exemptions set forth here.
