Criminal Alien Program (CAP)

The Criminal Alien Program (CAP) is an initiative run by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that focuses on identifying, apprehending, and deporting undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes. Through partnerships with local law enforcement, the program seeks to remove individuals with criminal records from the U.S. to enhance public safety and uphold immigration laws. By prioritizing the removal of those with serious offenses, CAP aims to address illegal immigration while maintaining community security. The program emphasizes cooperation between federal and local agencies in managing immigration enforcement.
