Hormone treatments for transgendered detainees, abortion services and extensive outlets for complaints — these are just a few of the reasons Texas Republican House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith is not pleased with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) recently released Performance-Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS).

"The Obama administration's new detention manual is more like a hospitality guideline for illegal immigrants," Smith wrote in a statement. "The administration goes beyond common sense to accommodate illegal immigrants and treats them better than citizens in federal custody....

The standards chronicle a wide range of amenities and rights accorded to each detainee during their stay [and] outline a wide range of medical procedures available to those in detention facilities, including services such as abortion access, hormone treatments for transgendered people, dental work and a 15-day supply of medications upon release, deportation or transfer....

According to ICE, average agency cost to remove an alien is about $10,043, but that figure does not include the average costs to other agencies that are involved in the immigration enforcement process. Total removal costs taxpayers between $23,000 and $30,000 per alien."
