➡️ Every day that current detention policies remain, more families and children are needlessly put in harm’s way.

➡️ After the Trump administration gutted the investigative agency Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL) last year, an utter lack of DHS oversight at poses even higher safety concerns for detained families and children.

➡️ Our whistleblower clients warned about the risk of detained child deaths in 2014. Their warnings went unheeded and 7-year-old Jakelin Caal Maquin died in U.S. custody in 2018. Her death was the first of many to follow.

While ICE has attempted to paint a rosy picture of detention centers, investigations and whistleblower disclosures point to the contrary.

Recently, ICE stated, “Dilley [detention center] personnel...work every day to ensure families in their care are safe, healthy and well.”
The agency went so far as to claim, “In most cases, this is the best healthcare illegal aliens have received in their entire lives.”

Despite Kristi Noem’s departure from DHS, the same policies persist. Our stance is clear: no child should face confinement, separation from their family, or threats to their health and safety. ICE seems to disagree.

Before 2025, DHS's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties investigated and guarded against abuses. Without CRCL, DHS is not just failing at its mission—it’s openly flouting it.
At this turning point, Congress must ensure DHS fully restores CRCL and abides by its constitutional and moral duty.

We appreciate @bettermarkets.bsky.social's support of our amicus brief advocating for whistleblowers wrongfully deprived of awards by the SEC.
As whistleblowers face risks, from reputational attacks to career-ending job losses, denying awards will only discourage these vital sources of information.
Compared to other issue areas, whistleblower advocacy isn’t always clearly visible or tangible to the public.

USAGM, which runs VOA, offered employees a “deferred resignation program,” pushing them to resign.
Our client, an employee on administrative leave, said, “This latest move is not going to deter us from moving forward with the next phase of our fight...delivering journalism, not propaganda.”
It is widely believed that corporate accountability in the 21st Century would have looked very different were it not for Sherron Watkins' courage.
Read Sherron Watkins' full story of perseverance and truth in our #WomensHistoryMonth blog! 👇

Enron's retaliation against Watkins did not stop the company from being held accountable.
Because of her disclosure, Enron was investigated and Watkins testified before Congress.
Enron admitted it overstated its profits and became the largest corporate bankruptcy at the time.
Watkins eventually wrote a letter the CEO and questioned him about the company's accounting practices.
She warned that Enron "might implode in a wave of accounting scandals." By the time she went public with her disclosure, she was a target in an Enron smear campaign.
Enron whistleblower, Sherron Watkins, was the Vice President of Corporate Development at Enron.
Watkins realized that Enron was hiding financial losses and inflating the company's stock prices.
The company effectively decided their own profits and were never held accountable.
During #WomensHistoryMonth we celebrate the contributions women have made towards truth and justice in our world.
Let's take a look back at one of our whistleblower clients, Sherron Watkins, who was a catalyst for corporate and financial legislation reform. 🧵
