Amnesty International released a scathing report demanding the abolition of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, citing systemic abuses and violations of international human rights law. The organization highlighted repeated instances of unlawful detentions, forced family separations, and excessive use of force against migrants and asylum seekers.

In the report, Amnesty called on Congress and the Biden administration to halt ICE’s operations, replace it with a humane, rights‑based immigration system, and hold officials accountable through independent oversight and reparations for victims. The findings underscore the need for transparency, accountability, and a shift toward policies that respect dignity and legal protections.

Amnesty’s call follows growing evidence that ICE’s practices undermine the United States’ commitments to human rights and the rule of law, demanding urgent action to align immigration enforcement with global standards of justice and reparations.
