DHS uses taxpayer money to fund Texas billboards countering immigration enforcement efforts
Story by Bill Melugin, Greg Wehner • 12h


The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is using taxpayer money to erect billboards in Texas, offering help to those with friends and family in immigration custody.

A DHS source provided a photo of one of the billboards along an interstate in Texas, which reads, "Your brother in immigration custody has rights. We’re here to help."
 
The ads are part of a campaign by the DHS’s Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman (IDO), an independent office within DHS that assists individuals with complaints about potential violation of immigration detention standards or other misconduct by personnel. The office also provides oversight of immigration detention facilities.

Congress established the office in 2019, and currently, Michelle Brané serves as the IDO at DHS.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
