Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA)
Description
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA): In FY 2022, DHS approved the FY 2022-FY 2026 ICE DEIA Strategic Plan and Directorate Implementation Plans, which illustrates why creating a diverse and inclusive workforce is fundamental to ICE’s continuing ability to perform its critical mission efficiently and effectively. During this time, DEIA policies issued to the ICE workforce included the ICE Anti-Harassment Policy, the Diversity Policy, and the Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Policy. Additionally, ODCR, in collaboration with OHC, drafted new requirements for ICE to mandate diverse interview panels when filling supervisory positions via the competitive procedures in support of the DHS Secretary’s priority to advance DEIA.
