ICE

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) is the federal law enforcement agency principally tasked with enforcing U.S. immigration law through the arrest, detention, and deportation (“removal”) of noncitizens.  ICE is housed within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.  Either directly or through contracts, ICE maintains detention facilities across the country where tens of thousands of noncitizens (on any given day) are held while they await resolution of their immigration cases and/or deportation.  ICE also conducts actual deportations of individual noncitizens, including through its air transportation arm, “ICE Air.”
