As part of the ongoing restructuring of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service or INS), the chain of command for many functions related to the detention and removal of aliens, including the detention, care and custody of juveniles, will be centralized. Currently, these functions are overseen by Service districts and regions which report to the Executive Associate Commissioner for Field Operations. Under the reorganization, the daily oversight of overall detention and removal functions will transfer to the Deputy Executive Associate Commissioner for Detention and Removal who will still report to the Executive Associate Commissioner for Field Operations. The daily oversight of functions relating to alien juveniles in the custody and care of the Service is transferred to the Director of the Office of Juvenile Affairs who reports to the Commissioner of the INS. This rule ensures that the appropriate immigration officials will have the necessary authority to carry out the daily oversight of the detention and removal of aliens consistent with the changes in responsibility.
