We make sure employees are protected.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Civil Rights and Compliance (OCRC) is dedicated to ensuring ICE’s mission to protect America is carried out by protecting the workforce that powers the mission. OCRC’s goal is to ensure all ICE employees and applicants are treated in a non-discriminatory manner. By integrating the application of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, as well as other established regulations and Executive Orders, the Agency must create and promote a workforce that allows all employees equal opportunity to achieve their full potential.

No Fear Act
The Notification and Federal Employee Anti-discrimination and Retaliation Act (No FEAR Act) Public Law 107-174
On May 15, 2002, President George W. Bush signed the Notification and Federal Employee Anti-discrimination and Retaliation Act or No FEAR Act. The Act increased accountability of Federal Departments and Agencies for acts of discrimination or reprisal against employees resulting from whistleblower complaints, and complaints before the Merit Systems Protection Board and U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Under Title III of the No Fear Act, departments and agencies are required to post on their public websites summary statistical data relating to equal employment opportunity complaints filed against the department or agency.
Both the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and ICE will post to the respective public websites statistical information in accordance with the No FEAR Act. This data will be updated on a quarterly basis for the current fiscal year.
For further information, please contact the Office of Civil Rights Compliance at (202) 732-2298 or EEO-ADR-ICE@ice.dhs.gov.
