On this past Thursday Teens Initiating Change, we spent this
day at U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). They are known for protecting the security of
the American people and homeland by vigilantly enforcing the nation's immigration
and customs laws. We met with representatives from Homeland Security
Investigations. They investigate all types of cross-border criminal activity,
to include: financial crimes, bulk cash smuggling, cybercrimes, exploitation of
children and child sex tourism, weapons smuggling and export enforcement, human
smuggling and trafficking, transnational gang activity and the list goes
on………… We were able to sit in on several
court case and observed both sides. illegal immigrants were able to plead with the
judges to stay in the U.S and others pleaded to be deported back to their
homeland. This was truly an eye-opening experience for all of us.
An average day in the life of Enforcement and Removal operations
are as follow:
658 Illegal Aliens removed
34,376 Illegal aliens housed in detention facilities
nationwide
564 intake medical screenings performed
5 removal flights completed
