The DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL) Immigration Section integrates civil rights and civil liberties considerations into Department activities and programs, particularly as they relate to the immigration system. Cooperative program analysis from the Immigration Section plays a central role in the Department’s fulfillment of several key responsibilities and initiatives while meeting civil rights and civil liberties obligations in immigration detention and enforcement, and protecting survivors of trafficking and other potentially vulnerable populations. The Immigration Section’s work reflects critical Departmental priorities and collaboration across the Department.

Around the world, conflict and disasters adversely and disproportionately affect women and girls, yet women remain under-represented in efforts to prevent and resolve conflict, and in post-conflict peace-building or recovery efforts. The CRCL Immigration Section leads the Department’s implementation of the Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017. The Act recognizes the benefits derived from creating opportunities for women and girls to serve as agents of peace via political, economic, and social empowerment.
