Sens. Marshall, Hagerty demand info on DHS program overseen by group that backs defunding ICE
Fox News
Two Republican senators are demanding more information from DHS about a case management pilot program that aids illegal immigrants facing deportation.
The program in question, CMPP, will provide "voluntary case management and other services" to illegal immigrants in immigration removal proceedings, including mental health services, school enrollment, legal aid, "cultural orientation programs" and connections to social services -- as well as human trafficking screening and departure planning for those being deported. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
The CMPP was authorized by Congress in the 2021 DHS Appropriations Act, which provided $5 million in funding to FEMA for the program. It also set out eligibility for who could sit on the program's National Board, outlining that organizations must be nonprofits, nonpartisan, and have expertise in the asylum and refugee field, detention alternatives and case management.
