What Is ICE ERO?

ICE ERO, or Enforcement and Removal Operations, is a branch of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency responsible for enforcing immigration laws within the United States.

ICE ERO and its Role in Deportation

ICE ERO is a controversial agency, and its activities have been criticized by some human rights groups. However, it is important to note that ICE ERO is only one part of the U.S. immigration system, and its activities are subject to judicial review.

The primary duties of ICE ERO include:

Identifying and apprehending undocumented immigrants: This involves working with local law enforcement, conducting raids, and investigating tips from the public.
Detention of undocumented immigrants: Once apprehended, undocumented immigrants are typically detained in ICE facilities while their cases are processed.
Removal of undocumented immigrants: If an immigration judge orders an undocumented immigrant to be removed from the United States, ICE ERO is responsible for carrying out the removal order.

ICE ERO also has a number of other responsibilities, including:

Investigating criminal aliens: This includes aliens who have committed serious crimes, such as drug trafficking or terrorism, as well as those who have overstayed their visas.
Protecting national security: ICE ERO works to prevent terrorists and other criminals from entering the United States.
Combating human trafficking: ICE ERO works to rescue victims of human trafficking and bring the traffickers to justice.

Here are some additional facts about ICE ERO:

It was founded in 2003.
It has over 20,000 employees.
It operates over 200 detention facilities across the United States.
It has removed over 2 million undocumented immigrants from the United States since 2003.
