Michelle Brané has spent her entire life advocating against detention keeping criminal aliens on the streets, and was part of Claire Trickler McNulty’s anti-enforcement, pro social services cabal when they worked together. She is a dangerous, intentional plant at DHS and will work behind the scenes to dismantle enforcement.

Her current role is an Ombudsman for immigration detention for DHS, but prior to joining the government workforce, she had garnered over a decade of experience working for far-left,  migrant activist organizations.

Before her appointment as DHS’ Detention Ombudsman, Michelle Brané advocated for pulling funding from ICE, scrutinizing the detention of migrants and calling ICE’s activities “abusive”, according to the New York Post: (source)

The Biden administration has appointed an anti-Immigration and Customs Enfrocement (ICE) activist, who advocates pulling funding from the agency, to scrutinize the detention of illegal immigrants. Michelle Brané, who has called ICE’s activities “abusive” and wants to limit the agency’s powers of detention, began her tenure earlier this month as the immigration detention ombudsman at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Brané has been outspoken in her stance, writing in one 2019 post on X that fees for immigration applications are used to “supplement ICE’s abusive enforcement.”

The deliberateness of her appointment was acknowledged by former ICE Chief of Staff Jon Feere, who predicted that she would use her newfound authority to undermine detention efforts: (source)

“Jon Feere, who was ICE chief of staff during the Trump administration, said Brané’s appointment is akin to ‘putting an arsonist in charge of conducting oversight of the US Forest Service.’ ‘My guess is that she’ll use her new authority to undermine ICE detention efforts, which will come in the form of excessive audits and releases of illegal aliens based on unsupported and phony complaints,’

Brane also served as the Director of the Migrant Rights and Justice program at the Women’s Refugee Commission for almost 15 years, where she oversaw a team of advocates working on issues such as the protection of unaccompanied children, family detention and separation, and access to asylum at U.S. borders: (source)

“The Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC) is creating a better world for refugees. WRC catalyzes transformative change to protect and empower women, children, and youth displaced by conflict and crisis. Our vision is a world where all people displaced by conflict or crisis are welcomed with dignity; are safe, healthy, and self-reliant; have their human rights and agency respected; and get the support and resources they need to rebuild their lives.”
