In a memo co-authored by Veronica Venture to the Chief of the US Border Patrol in May 2019, Venture cited an onsite inspection her office (the DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties) performed of Border Patrol Stations in the Rio Grande Valley Sector in July 2018. The memo went on to make recommendations and noted failures of the Border Patrol in the Rio Grande Valley, such as “UAC [Unaccompanied Alien Children] and family units have limited access to recreation”:
…“UAC and family units have limited access to recreation.”…
Additionally, Veronica Venture co-authored a memo in August 2021 to ICE leadership after Venture’s office investigated the La Palma Correction Center. Venture’s memo made claims that ICE failed to provide a recreation schedule “that adjusted and accommodated seasonal /temperature conditions,” among other “problems”:
25. CRCL found that the LPCC recreation schedule did not provide detainees with a reasonable schedule that adjusted and accommodated seasonal/temperature conditions. CRCL recommends that LPCC review their recreation schedule and adjust it as necessary to provide detainees with opportunities to participate in leisure activities at a reasonable time of day and appropriate for seasonal conditions. (5.4.Recreation; II. 2.)
Veronica Venture’s preoccupation with providing recreation activities to detained migrants in DHS detention facilities shows that she is more interested in turning DHS facilities into Club Fed than allocating resources to achieving DHS’ border security mandate. (source) (source)
