DHS has announced that it had reversed its decision to close the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman Office, and Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman. The move followed lawsuits challenging the administration's authority to close the programs. Last week, USCIS even opened a search for a Deputy Ombuds. (Democracy Forward; Times of India; USA Jobs.)
