U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforces federal laws governing border control, customs, trade and immigration. ICE was created in 2003 through a merger of the investigative and interior enforcement elements of the former U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

ICE has two operational directorates — Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), and a third devoted to Management and Administration (M&A).
