This legislation amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to impose new restrictions on the Department of Homeland Security regarding the Immigration Detention Ombudsman. It specifically prohibits the Secretary of Homeland Security from obligating or expending any funds to advertise to the general public the office or functions of the Ombudsman. This prohibition is broad, covering all forms of public advertisement, explicitly including "by billboard or otherwise," thereby preventing the use of federal funds for such promotional activities.
