Foster integrity and accountability to ensure public trust in EOIR’s case adjudications and managerial practices.

Other Information:

In order to be effective and to engender public trust and confidence in EOIR’s decisions, employees need to be held accountable for their actions. The Attorney General’s review of EOIR in 2006 highlighted the importance of judicial temperament for agency adjudicators. EOIR managers will promote integrity, economy, efficiency, and effectiveness within the agency. It is important that those who appear before EOIR’s tribunals have trust in the agency and in the work that it does. EOIR will maintain a robust Ethics program, providing training to employees and answering questions promptly. EOIR’s Employee and Labor Relations program will provide outstanding service and accurate advice to EOIR’s management officials regarding employee conduct, grievances, and management/labor relations. In addition, EOIR will ensure an effective Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) consultation, resolution, and complaint process. Measure: Finalize and implement a process for the intake, tracking, and resolution of complaints against immigration judges and Board members.
