The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a U.S. government agency under the Department of Homeland Security. It is responsible for enforcing immigration laws and investigating customs violations, such as human trafficking and drug smuggling. ICE has two main divisions: Enforcement and Removal Operations, which focuses on apprehending and deporting individuals who are in the country illegally, and Homeland Security Investigations, which tackles a range of criminal activities that affect national security, including immigration fraud and cybercrime. ICE aims to protect the country while balancing enforcement and due process rights.
