ÌÒ×ÓÊÓÆµFOIA Suit for ICE’s Updated Solitary Confinement Policy
Court Case
Feb 2025

Immigration and Customs Enforcement

ÌÒ×ÓÊÓÆµFOIA Suit for ICE’s Updated Solitary Confinement Policy

ICE’s use of special management units, or solitary confinement, has prompted active concern and attention from Congress, the media, and advocates. On Dec. 6, 2024, ICE announced that it had issued policy updates for the use of special management units (SMU), or solitary confinement cells, for detained immigrants. ICE, however, has not made a copy of the updated policy publicly available. We’ve sued to obtain a copy of this policy to better defend immigrants subject to solitary confinement in detention.
