Component Budget Overview

The FY 2023 Budget includes $8.5 billion; 22,358 positions; and 21,688 full-time equivalents (FTE) for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

(ICE). The requested funding will fill critical operational and resource gaps to effectively carry out ICE’s mission and account for critical facility

infrastructure needs and IT investments. This funding level represents an increase of $108.4 million over the FY 2022 President’s Budget.

ICE is the principal criminal investigative agency within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). ICE enforces more than 400 Federal

statutes and focuses on immigration enforcement, preventing terrorism, and combating the illegal movement of people and goods. ICE has over

21,000 employees deployed across all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and in 57 countries.

The FY 2023 Budget seeks 693 new positions to support ICE needs and to effectively carry out ICE’s mission. This increase includes an additional

126 positions for Mission Support, 341 positions for the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA), 131 positions for Homeland Security

Investigations (HSI) to include seven transferred-in Blue Campaign positions, and 95 positions for Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).

These enhancements will evolve frontline operations by expanding and transforming ICE’s investigative, enforcement, and legal capabilities in a

manner consistent with the Administration’s focus on building a fair, orderly, and humane immigration system. Additional Mission Support positions

will provide for better and more effective servicing of the Agency at-large, including in the business lines of human capital management and

servicing, and financial management and systems modernization. OPLA will gain requisite staffing enabling it to properly represent the United States

in immigration proceedings before Immigration Judges (IJ) within the Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), as

EOIR continues with its year-over-year IJ position growth and expands its number of courtrooms. HSI’s positions will add needed resources to the

Department of Homeland Security U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

ICE - 8

Victim’s Assistance Program and the Center for Countering Human Trafficking, as well as for counterintelligence personnel for risk reduction.

ERO’s staffing increases support an expansion of its international footprint and management of the non-detained docket. Enhancements will also

streamline processes and minimize risk by updating or replacing aging information technology systems. ICE will also bolster operational support

through rightsizing business functions that support frontline operations. The FY 2023 Budget also includes funding for infrastructure and critical

repairs of ICE facilities.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

Strategic Context

Component Overview

The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) promotes homeland security and public safety through the criminal and civil

enforcement of Federal laws governing border control, customs, trade, and immigration.

The strategic context presents the performance budget by tying together programs with performance measures that gauge the delivery of results to

our stakeholders. DHS has integrated a mission and mission support programmatic view into a significant portion of the Level 1 Program, Project, or

Activities (PPAs) in the budget. A mission program is a group of activities acting together to accomplish a specific high-level outcome external to

DHS, and includes operational processes, skills, technology, human capital, and other resources. Mission support programs are those that are cross-

cutting in nature and support multiple mission programs. Performance measures associated with ICE's mission programs are presented in two

measure sets, strategic and management measures. Strategic measures communicate results delivered for our agency mission and are considered our

Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act (GPRAMA) measures. Additional supporting measures, known as management

measures, are displayed to enhance connections to resource requests. The measure tables indicate new measures and those being retired, along with

historical data if available.

Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO): Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) enforces the Nation’s immigration laws by identifying

and apprehending noncitizens, detaining those individuals pending final determination of removability, and removing them from the United States.

ERO prioritizes the apprehension, arrest, and removal of those who pose a threat to national security, individuals apprehended at the border or ports

of entry while attempting to unlawfully enter the United States, and individuals determined to pose a threat to public safety. ERO manages all

logistical aspects of the removal process, including domestic transportation, detention, alternatives to detention programs, bond management, and

supervised release. In addition, ERO repatriates those ordered removed from the United States to more than 170 countries around the world.

Strategic Measures

Measure: Number of convicted criminal noncitizens who were returned or were removed from the United States

Description: This measure includes both the return and removal of noncitizens who have a prior criminal conviction from the United States by ICE

Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). This measure reflects the program’s efforts to ensure convicted criminal noncitizens do not remain in the United

States.

Measure: Number of noncitizens meeting Civil Immigration Enforcement Priorities returned or removed from the U.S.

Description: This measure gauges the number of noncitizens returned or removed from the U.S. that fall within the three interim priorities, National Security,

Border Security, or Public Safety, or meet another agency priority determined by a senior field manager. Noncitizens are presumed to be a national security

priority if they engaged or are suspected of engaging in terrorism-related activities, espionage-related activities, or if their apprehension, arrest, or custody is

necessary to protect the national security. Noncitizens are presumed to be a border security priority if they were apprehended at the border or port of entry while

attempting to enter unlawfully or were not physically present in the United States before November 1, 2020. Noncitizens are presumed to be a public safety

priority if they pose a threat to public safety and are convicted of an aggravated felony, or are qualifying members of criminal gangs and transnational criminal

organizations.

Measure: Percent of all Alternative to Detention participants who demonstrate compliance

Description: This measure gauges the compliance of participants enrolled in the Alternative to Detention (ATD) process. Participants are noncitizens who, upon

release from custody, require supplemental case management support and technology assignment to be successful with release conditions, court hearing

attendance, and compliance with final orders of removal while allowing them to remain in their communities. ATD uses contractors for effective case

management to assist the participant in ensuring they understand their immigration obligations, can meet basic needs, and are provided continued support while

they remain in their communities. Participants who were de-escalated and/or positively terminated after recurring case reviews are considered in compliance.

ATD ensures compliance as immigrants move through their immigration court proceedings without detaining them inside detention centers.

Measure: Percent of arrests meeting civil immigration enforcement priorities

Description: This measure gauges the percent of total arrests that fall within the three priorities, National Security, Public Safety, or Border Security.

Noncitizens are presumed to be a national security priority if they have engaged or are suspected of engaging in terrorism related activities, espionage-related

activities, or if their apprehension, arrest, or custody is necessary to protect the national security. Noncitizens are determined to be a public safety priority if they

pose a current threat to public safety, typically because of serious criminal conduct. Whether a noncitizen poses a current threat to public safety requires an

assessment of the individual and the totality of the facts and circumstances, including any aggravating or mitigating factors. Noncitizens are presumed to be a

border security priority if they were apprehended at the border or port of entry while attempting to enter unlawfully or were not physically present in the United

States before November 1, 2020.

immigration laws at and beyond our Nation’s borders.

Strategic Measures

Measure: Number of enforcement-related actions against employers that violate immigration-related employment laws

Description: This measure is a cumulative result of enforcement-related actions against employers that hire illegal labor. Enforcement-related actions include

criminal arrests, audits, and final orders of fines of employers related to worksite enforcement. This measure demonstrates the impact of worksite enforcement

operations to ensure that employers do not violate immigration-related employment laws.

Measure: Number of human trafficking and child exploitation victims rescued or assisted

Description: This measure reports the number of adult or minor victims rescued or assisted as a result of human trafficking and child exploitation

investigations. Human trafficking includes sex trafficking and forced labor trafficking. A child exploitation victim is considered rescued once the victim has

been identified, located, and physically removed by agents or a partner agency or provided information (i.e., other types of assistance) that extricates them from

the exploitative situation or further abuse. A human trafficking victim is considered assisted and entered into the Victim Assistance Database (VAD) when a

Victim Assistance Specialist makes contact and provides information or resources to the victim. Many victims receive additional services such as crisis

management and supportive services throughout the investigation.

allow applicants to enter on duty prior to the completion of their full background investigation. The 10-day determination window begins once the applicant

completes all required security forms (e.g., completed SF-86, fingerprint cards, releases, etc.) and ends when an Entry on Duty risk-based decision is made by a

personnel security adjudicator. If derogatory information is discovered during preliminary checks, those cases are excluded from the data set because applicants

will be given ample time to respond to interrogatories.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Operations and Support (O&S) appropriation provides funding to prevent terrorism,

enforce the United States’ immigration laws, and safeguard Americans through the enforcement of Federal laws governing trade and travel. ICE uses

the resources appropriated in O&S to deter illegal immigration and protect the Nation from physical and cyber threats in all 50 States, the District of

Columbia, the U.S. territories, and 57 countries around the world. ICE fulfills these mission responsibilities by conducting investigations, dismantling

transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and enforcing immigration laws through actions against removable noncitizens.

The O&S appropriation funds law enforcement operations and mission support activities across the following four programs, projects, and activities

(PPAs):

Mission Support: This PPA funds ICE’s Management and Administration (M&A) Directorate, which provides the full range of enterprise level

services and operational support for ICE. M&A oversees ICE’s financial and human resources management, information technology infrastructure

and IT support services, it manages sensitive property and other assets, and collaborates with internal and external stakeholders to increase ICE’s

ability to attract and retain a diverse workforce. Additionally, M&A procures goods and services for the Agency, responds to Freedom of Information

Act (FOIA) requests, manages the regulatory process and development of ICE policies, and provides firearms and tactical training to special agents

and officers, as well as leadership and career development training to the ICE workforce. The Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR)

investigates allegations of criminal and serious misconduct by ICE employees and contractors, as well as investigating detainee assault allegations

and use of force incidents, among other areas, it conducts background investigations of personnel, oversees the inspections of ICE detention facilities,

and manages physical security.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 5

Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA): This PPA provides funding for ICE attorneys who represent the U.S. Government in exclusion,

deportation, bond, and removal proceedings before the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) and who

provide legal advice to ICE personnel on a range of matters including criminal, administrative, and civil customs and immigration laws and

authorities. OPLA attorneys support DOJ in defending removal orders and agency enforcement authorities, and on operations challenged in Federal

court. Support personnel provide administrative assistance, including paperwork-intensive removal proceedings before EOIR.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI): HSI is the second largest investigative body within the Federal Government, and the largest in the

Department of Homeland Security. This PPA provides funding for criminal investigators (CIs) who conduct transnational criminal investigations to

protect the United States against terrorist and other criminal organizations through criminal and civil enforcement of Federal laws governing border

control, customs, trade, and immigration. HSI applies its legal authorities to investigate immigration and customs violations, including those related

to human trafficking and smuggling, child exploitation, transnational gangs, human rights abuses, narcotics, firearms and contraband smuggling,

financial crimes, cybercrime, intellectual property infringements, export control, and immigration benefit fraud. Additionally, specially trained

investigative support staff assist in a broad range of functions requiring specialized knowledge and capabilities in mission-critical areas.

Enforcement and Removal (ERO): This PPA provides funding for Deportation Officers (DOs) who enforce the Nation’s immigration laws by

identifying and arresting removable noncitizens, detaining or placing apprehended individuals in Alternatives to Detention (ATD) monitoring

programs when appropriate, and removing noncitizens from the United States. To ensure national security and public safety of the United States and

the faithful execution of the Nation's immigration laws, officers take enforcement action against removable noncitizens encountered during their

duties, focusing resources on those charged and/or convicted of crimes, on cases of fraud or abuse of public programs, and on immigration fugitives.

Support personnel provide mission-critical analysis and administrative services, assisting DOs on detention and case management.

to include costs associated with Enterprise Cybersecurity Reserve.

Transfer 2 – Transfer of Medical Expenses: The FY 2023 Budget transfers $8M from ICE to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reversing

a base transfer from CBP to ICE executed with the enactment of the Department’s FY 2013 appropriation for ICE to cover CBP’s Third Party

Medical Referral expenses. This transfer returns that function to CBP.

Transfer 3 – Realignment of FY 2022 Modular Costs: The FY 2023 Budget realigns $1.2M in modular cost from the Office of Principal Legal

Advisor (OPLA) to Mission Support (MS).

Transfer 4 – Transfer of Blue Campaign: The FY 2023 Budget transfers seven existing Positions (Non-LEOs) and $2.5M from the Office of the

Secretary and Executive Management to establish a dedicated budget for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Blue Campaign within the

Program Change 1 – Adult ADP Reduction:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes a decrease of $271.2M aligning with an adult funded average daily population (ADP) of 25,000 (including 1,990 beds

funded via fees). The base for this program is $2.8B.

Justification

Funding an ADP of 25,000 will maintain ICE’s ability to effectively manage its current detainee population flows. This reduction in detention

capacity level will not impede ICE’s ability to apprehend, detain, and remove noncitizens that present a threat to national security, border security,

and public safety. As noncitizens pass through immigration proceedings, sufficient and appropriate detention capacity provides ICE with adequate

time and flexibility to gain custody of immigration law violators, ensure compliance with court procedures, and efficiently utilize transportation

networks to remove priority individuals

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 20

Performance

This reduction reflects the Administration’s prioritization of leveraging Alternatives to Detention monitoring programs and the revised civil

immigration enforcement priorities. Supporting an ADP of 25,000 will provide ICE with the flexibility and capacity to detain immigration law

violators and those who pose a security threat.

Program Change 2 – Alternatives to Detention (ATD) Increase:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $75.0M to accommodate continued expansion and reliance on the Alternatives to Detention (ATD)

programs. The base for this program is $440M.

Justification

To use its available detention capacity for higher-risk individuals relative to the revised civil immigration enforcement priorities, ICE must maintain

a robust ATD program for low-risk individuals or those not suitable for detention. Additionally, noncitizens that are booked out of a detention facility

quickly result in their case being moved to ATD. As the average daily population of the detained docket falls, and less beds are available associated

with this budget request, there is an inversely proportional relationship to ATD record caseload increases. ICE will utilize this funding to support

caseload management. ATD enables ICE to supervise individuals who are moving through immigration proceedings without detaining them. The

ATD program supervises participants through a combination of home visits, office visits, alert response, court tracking, and/or technology. ATD

enables ICE to supervise a larger population of individuals moving through the immigration process than it could relying on detention alone.

Performance

This proposal supports DHS Mission 3, Enforce and Administer Our Immigration Laws, Goal 3.2, Prevent Unlawful Immigration. This increase in

funding for ATD is necessary to ensure that ICE has sufficient resources to effectively supervise individuals who are moving through the

immigration process without detaining them and manage the increased number of apprehensions resulting from increased border apprehensions in FY

2022. The program is conservatively projecting an average daily participant level of approximately 170,000 in FY 2023. However, at the current rate

of enrollments, ATD projects that the average daily population by the end of FY22 could be as high as 200,000.

Program Change 3 – ATD IT Requirements:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $1.5M for the Alternative to Detention (ATD) monitoring program to begin automating noncitizen

enrollment, System-to-System integration, and implementation of an Immigration Case Review appointment scheduling tool for noncitizens under

prosecutorial discretion. The base for this program (the Detention and Removal Operations Modernization investment) is 5 Positions, 5 FTE, and

$10.4M.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 21

Justification

ATD programs facilitate noncitizen compliance with attendance at immigration court hearings and departure from the United States while allowing

noncitizens to remain in their communities. Due to the influx of released migrant families at the border, large numbers of noncitizens are appearing at

ICE facilities without advance notification. This creates a burden on facilities and inhibits processing. Currently, an officer is required to complete a

minimum of 22 actions in two systems to enroll a noncitizen into the ATD program. This lengthy process can take up to one hour to complete for an

individual enrollment. ICE has achieved increased efficiencies for border enrollments into one ATD case system (BI) using the ATD Micro App

launched during FY 2021, thereby limiting the number of noncitizens released under prosecutorial discretion. ICE reduced the enrollment time for

this sub-set of enrollments by greater than 65 percent, specifically applicable to Heads of Household in family units. ICE has continued these

efficiencies thus far in FY 2022. In FY 2023, the anticipated funding would be used to enhance enrollments into additional technologies and other

types of services as operational needs evolve. ICE would like to ensure we can refine our integrations as new information technology options and

opportunities are presented.

Performance

By automating enrollment of noncitizens into the ATD program processing times will be up to 50 percent faster, allowing officers to focus on

reducing their case backlogs and improve the ability to ensure that noncitizens return for their court date. Additionally, System-to-System integration

will remove duplicative data entry and manual processes in CBP, ICE ERO, and ATD vendor systems. Integration will also allow for simplified

retrieval of court appearance and decision information, ability to respond to alerts and GPS data, creation and processing of emergency reports, and

automatic population of participation data updates. Providing the capability for noncitizens under prosecutorial discretion to schedule an appointment

with an ICE officer will facilitate the scheduling and coordination of noncitizens required to appear in front of an ICE officer to process their

immigration case. It will also provide greater schedule flexibility for noncitizens and minimize the large numbers of noncitizens appearing at ICE

facilities without advanced notification.

Program Change 4 – Center for Countering Human Trafficking:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of 38 Positions (27 LEOs and 11 Non-LEOs), 19 FTE, and $15.5M to establish a dedicated budget and

staffing for the Center for Countering Human Trafficking (CCHT). There are no dedicated base resources for this program and this request provides

that designated resource allocation hereafter.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 22

Justification

Human trafficking and forced labor crimes are a threat to U.S. national security and public safety; they are also a highly lucrative business for

transnational criminal organizations (TCOs). On October 20, 2020, DHS established the HSI-led CCHT as a whole-of-DHS approach to countering

human trafficking and the importation of goods produced with forced labor. The CCHT brings together law enforcement and intelligence personnel

who are human trafficking subject matter experts and victim support specialists from across DHS to coordinate with Federal, State, and local

partners, non-governmental organizations, and private stakeholders to disrupt and dismantle human trafficking organizations and provide support and

protection to victims by promoting a victim centered and trauma informed approach. As part of DHS’ unified response, 16 DHS Components are

currently providing personnel to support CCHT’s efforts, which facilitates coordination and aligns resources and authorities to combat these threats.

Following the establishment of the CCHT, multiple HSI programs were transferred to the CCHT because they were designed to support HSI field

agents who conduct investigations to combat these crimes. However, the existing personnel within these programs are insufficient to support an HSI-

led DHS national center. The additional positions and dedicated funding will allow HSI to effectively carry out the CCHT's DHS-wide mission and

functions, which include providing direct investigative case support; identifying and supporting the interdiction of goods produced with forced labor;

developing actionable intelligence to initiate and/or support investigations; training and outreach; and the identification, support, and protection of

victims for all DHS Components.

This request aligns to the “Border Security and Humanitarian Relief” mission priority as outlined by the Secretary of Homeland Security. The CCHT

oversees DHS’s counter human trafficking mission and, as a law enforcement operation center, works to identify, disrupt, and dismantle both

transnational and domestic human trafficking networks that pose a threat to national security and public safety. The CCHT promotes and uses an

intelligence-driven, victim-centered approach to investigations whereby equal value is placed on the identification and stabilization of victims and on

identifying and prosecuting the trafficker. The CCHT has increased and supported criminal investigations into goods imported into the United States

that were produced with forced labor.

As stated in the DHS Strategy to Combat Human Trafficking, the Importation of Goods Produced with Forced Labor, and Child Sexual Exploitation,

human trafficking and the importation of goods produced with forced labor are urgent humanitarian issues with direct and far-reaching consequences

on the United States. These crimes threaten the physical and virtual borders of the U.S., the immigration and customs systems, and U.S. prosperity

and national security, and are a direct attack on Americans’ personal safety and the country’s public safety. The United States has declared it a

national priority to end human trafficking and the importation of goods produced with forced labor. Therefore, the CCHT’s efforts to combat human

trafficking directly align with the DHS Secretary’s “Border Security and Humanitarian Relief” mission priority.

Additionally, this request aligns with the recommendations within the DHS Office of the Inspector General (OIG) 2021 report “ICE Faces

Challenges in Its Efforts to Assist Human Trafficking Victims.” This request will enable the CCHT to develop and implement policies and

procedures to ensure uniform efforts to combat human trafficking, develop long-term solutions to resolve fundamental issues in human trafficking tip

dissemination and tracking, and provide training to field officers nationwide on timely case management for human trafficking investigations.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 23

Performance

The requested FY 2023 increase of personnel and resources will enhance CCHT's investigative and intelligence support capabilities for field

personnel. Through intelligence driven investigations with criminal investigator subject matter expertise, the CCHT will increase HSI field

personnel's ability to secure additional arrests, indictments, and convictions per case than similar investigations without this support. In general, more

indictments per case suggest deeper investigative penetration of the criminal organization.

The CCHT measures its success by the number of investigative cases initiated, the number of criminal arrests, indictments, and victims identified and

rescued. From FY 2018 – FY 2019, HSI saw increases of at least 20 percent in human trafficking enforcement metrics. In FY 2020, the number of

human trafficking cases initiated decreased by 7.5 percent due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of the end of FY 2021, HSI has seen a return to pre-

pandemic operations for human trafficking cases as shown in the table below.

Program Change 5 – Common Annotation Standards:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes $0.1M for contract support to participate in a DHS-level effort to develop a common standard for data annotation for

use in the operationalization of machine learning and data analytics applications. There is no base funding for this program.

Justification

DHS has identified that an absence of a standardized process for data annotation presents a gap in the Department’s efforts to effectively leverage

data. Data annotation is the process of identifying relevant parts of data so that it can be used to train machine learning models to perform

operationally relevant tasks. The lack of standardization across the Enterprise prohibits the sharing of annotated data. DHS intends to start a

department-wide effort to standardize data annotation so that data sets can be shared across Components. This funding will be used to bring on

contract support personnel to ensure that ICE’s equities are represented, and that the outcome of the working group is in alignment with the ICE

mission.

ICE – O&S - 24

Performance

The operationalization of machine learning has proven to deliver value for HSI. One example of dramatic efficiency gained is the operationalization

of machine learning based language translation. In an ongoing pilot deployment, this technology led to more than $10.0M in cost avoidance and

reduced time of delivery of translated documents obtained during several ongoing investigations from six months to two weeks. The success of the

annotation standardization effort would enable ICE to leverage annotated data sets compiled by other Components, thereby realizing greater

efficiency and lower overall cost across the Department related to creating and maintaining these data sets, and further galvanizing information-

sharing objectives.

Program Change 6 – Consolidated ICE Financial Solution (CIFS):

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of 10 Positions, 5 FTE, and $1.3M to implement the Consolidated ICE Financial Solutions (CIFS), which

will ensure ICE's ability to replace its legacy financial system and comply with the DHS Financial System Modernization (FSM) initiative. The base

for this program is 7 Positions, 7 FTE, and $1.6M. (An additional $10.6M is requested in PC&I funding for a total request of $11.9M).

Justification

CIFS is the keystone of the Department’s Financial Systems Modernization (FSM) Program mission. Implementing CIFS will accomplish mission

critical objectives as the system replaces faltering legacy core financial systems. The requested funding will enable the CIFS Program Management

Office (PMO) to acquire needed staff and conduct implementation activities necessary to migrate ICE and its customers to a more efficient and

effective financial and systems operations infrastructure and is necessary to support the resources needed to adequately deliver required services

supporting the migration for ICE FSM-Cube and achievement of planned program milestones. These milestones include support for FSM solution

configurations following Discovery, data cleansing and data migration, implementation of the future operating model, and IT infrastructure

requirements.

Performance

This FY 2023 investment ensures that ICE can meet the DHS deployment timeline and larger enterprise investment plan, support the sustainment of

Federal staff, and provide the necessary addition of Federal staff for the development of a migration strategy and management plan leveraging the

RICEFW (Reports, Interfaces, Conversions, Extensions, Forms and Workflows) methodology. The requested staff will also drive further execution of

the new financial system implementation. FY 2023 funding supports continued data cleansing and migration contract support, and achievement of

milestones that include establishing the data migration environment and certifying transport configuration to support primary data population in new

FSM solution. The ICE FSM PMO will support all customer migration activities, to include test planning, test execution, data conversion, data

cutover, and post-implementation certification and validation.

Program Change 7 – Cybercrime Technology Enhancement:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of 27 Positions (17 LEOs/10 non-LEOs), 14 FTE, and $50.8M to enhance HSI cybercrimes investigative

capabilities. The base for this program is 125 Positions, 70 FTE, and $32.1M. (An additional $8.0M is requested in PC&I funding for a total request

of $58.8M).

Justification

HSI has seen a significant increase in the number of criminal investigations conducted through its efforts to combat cybercrime because of the

changing cyber landscape and the increased criminal exploitation of the Internet. As the lead Agency to combat financial and trans-border

cybercrimes and disrupt and defeat associated TCOs, HSI's current personnel and resources are not sufficient to keep pace with the proliferation and

diversity of cybercrime.

Funding will be used to enhance covert computer networks, applications, and tools to assist in the detection, disruption, investigation, and

prosecution of individuals and TCOs that exploit the Internet for criminal activities. This funding will also be used to expand the HSI Network

Intrusion Program by focusing on capabilities to detect, prevent, disrupt, and investigate malicious cyber activity perpetrated by criminal actors,

including state and non-state actors using network infrastructure in the United States and abroad. HSI will acquire new and emerging technologies to

gather and analyze digital evidence; utilize cutting edge technology to identify and rescue victims of child exploitation and identify offenders; expand

the HSI Dark Web Investigations Platform; and support HSI cybercrimes investigations through the hiring of additional Cyber Operations Officers

(COOs).

This request aligns to the “Defeat Pandemic” and “SolarWinds” mission priorities as outlined by the Secretary of Homeland Security and the DHS

Cybersecurity Strategy and Implementation Plan. The cyber component of operation Stolen Promise 2.0 is specifically designed to combat COVID-

19 related cyber fraud. Operation Cyber Centurion is a proactive threat hunting initiative designed to prevent cyber-attacks, to include cyber supply-

chain based attacks, such as SolarWinds. Both initiatives are being spearheaded by the HSI Cyber Crimes Center (C3).

Performance

From FY 2017-2021, the number of cyber investigations by HSI has increased over 97 percent from 504 to 996 investigations. This additional

funding will enable HSI to keep pace to address the increased requests for investigative field support on cases such as dark web investigations, online

undercover operations, training related to cyber and cryptocurrency, computer network intrusion, and child exploitation investigations.

The FY 2023 increase of personnel and technology resources will be used to enhance investigative and analytic capabilities to meet the anticipated

case demands with HSI cyber investigations, forensic examinations, and child exploitation cases.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 26

In FY 2021, HSI initiated 366 network intrusion cases, a 73 percent increase from FY 2020 (211); arrested 3,776 individuals for crimes involving the

sexual exploitation of children, a 23 percent increase from FY 2020 (3,074); identified and/or rescued 1,177 minor victims in child exploitation

investigations, a 16 percent increase from FY 2020 (1,012); and conducted forensic examinations on 10,985 devices in support of cybercrime

investigations, an increase of 9 percent from FY 2020 (10,094).

The FY 2023 funding will enable HSI to maximize investigative resources and effectively secure the Nation from sophisticated malicious actors;

provide increased training and capacity building; enhance international collaboration with key law enforcement partners; increase the availability of

software, hardware, and other technology-based tools; and develop cutting-edge capabilities to enhance investigative efforts throughout the myriad of

cybercrime investigations.

Program Change 8 – Emergency Family Shelters:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $25.0M to address emergency family shelter requirements. There is no base for this program.

Justification

ICE leveraged contracting strategies beginning in FY 2021 and carrying into FY 2022 to appropriately address noncitizen family capacity

requirements in a non-detention setting. While ICE will exit this contract at the end of the second quarter FY 2022, operationally there remains the

requirement to be responsive to short-term family accommodation needs as noncitizen families continue presenting at the border and are no longer

transported to what previously was known as Family Residential Centers. A change in enforcement priorities and migration flows has yielded a

change in strategic direction for detention, specifically family detention. Despite this change, the need for facilities that can address family units are

still required, even if for only a designated short-term period.

Performance

Adjustments to immigration enforcement priorities do not diminish ICE’s requirement to appropriately respond to shifting migration flows into the

United States. ICE must maintain the ability and capacity to address special case populations, such as family units, prior to release. ICE will utilize

this funding to secure necessary and appropriate capacity to ensure the proper processing of noncitizen families as part of the detention management

function supporting enforcement operations. This proposal supports DHS Mission 3, Enforce and Administer Our Immigration Laws, Goal 3.2,

Prevent Unlawful Immigration.

Program Change 9 – Event Security Logging:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $3.4M to for Security Logging, which will mature ICE’s security event logging capabilities and assist in

mitigating the impact of potential security breaches, supporting Executive Order (EO) 14028, Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, and OMB M-

21-31. The base for this program is 15 Positions, 15 FTE, and $8.2M.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 27

Justification

Recent events, including the SolarWinds incident, underscore the importance of increased government visibility before, during, and after a

cybersecurity incident. Information from logs on Federal information systems (for both on-premises systems and connections hosted by third parties,

such as cloud services providers (CSPs)) is invaluable in the detection, investigation, and remediation of cyber threats.

This initiative has the following drivers:

• Executive Order 14028, Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity: As stated in the Executive Order, “incremental improvements will not give us the

security we need; instead, the Federal Government needs to make bold changes and significant investments to defend the vital institutions that

underpin the American way of life. The Federal Government must bring to bear the full scope of its authorities and resources to protect and

secure its computer systems, whether they are cloud-based, on-premises, or hybrid.” And “Event Logging addresses the requirements for logging,

log retention, and log management with a focus on ensuring centralized access and visibility for the highest-level Security Operations Center

(SOC) of each agency. The EO also establishes the ability to increase sharing of such information, as needed and appropriate, to accelerate

incident response efforts and to enable more effective defense of Federal information and Executive Branch departments and agencies.”

• Office of Management & Budget Memorandum M-21-31: This memorandum was developed in accordance with and addresses the requirements

in section 8 of the Executive Order 14028 for logging, log retention, and log management, with a focus on ensuring centralized access and

visibility for the highest-level enterprise security operations center (SOC) of each agency. In addition, this memorandum establishes requirements

for agencies to increase the sharing of such information, as needed and appropriate, to accelerate incident response efforts and to enable more

effective defense of Federal information and executive branch departments and agencies.

As cybersecurity threats continue to adapt, the agency needs to deploy new solutions and skills to detect and alert our incident response personnel at

“machine speed”. The recent successful attacks against the Federal Government networks and applications are designed to closely mirror normal

behavior. The development of behavioral analytics that review actions wholistically are required as we migrate to as a service offering. Bringing in

information on the user, their device, their location, and the user’s traditional work hours allow the analysts and tools to quickly triage the

information they are receiving, then act and share relevant information with DHS and CISA. Support for this will be provided through the Security

Operations Center.

Performance

The program change funding will enhance and mature ICE’s security event logging capabilities. As outlined in Executive Order 14028, this program

change will address the requirements outlined in Section 8 for logging, log retention, and log management, with a focus on ensuring centralized

access and visibility for the highest-level enterprise security operations center (SOC) of each agency. In addition, this memorandum establishes

requirements for agencies to increase the sharing of such information, as needed and appropriate, to accelerate incident response efforts and to enable

more effective defense of Federal information and executive branch departments and agencies

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 28

OMB Memo M-21-31 “Improving the Federal Government’s Investigative and Remediation Capabilities’ establishes a maturity model to guide the

Agencies implementation of requirements across four Event Logging (EL) tiers. ICE will rate its implementation utilizing this maturity model.

Finally, this program change addresses DHS-wide consensus priorities for proactive enterprise information security.

Program Change 10 – Facility Standards Compliance:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $21.0M for ICE Performance Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS) 2011 (revised 2016)

Optimum Requirements. There is no base for this program.

Justification

The additional funding will assist ICE is negotiating contractual adjustments with State and local detention providers to increase daily per diem rates

to fund the additional expenses required by facility operators to move to a higher level of detention standards requested and required by ICE.

Performance-based standards require a facility operator to expend additional resources to bring the physical and operational environment of a facility

in-line with performance goals necessary to house noncitizens under Federal custody. ICE’s detention system consists of over 200 local and State

facilities operating under IGSAs, US Marshals Service Intergovernmental Agreements (USMS IGAs), contract detention facilities (CDFs), ICE-

owned service processing centers (SPCs), and facilities operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The PBNDS 2011 allows a range of compliance

on 18 provisions that many ICE detention facilities find cost-prohibitive to meeting all optimum requirements. Currently, the average length of stay

(ALOS) for all detainees in detention is about 64 days and 54 percent of the ICE average daily population (ADP) is housed in a PBNDS 2011

facility. Most 2011 facilities meet the majority of the optimum requirements but very few meet all 18; however, the detention service providers have

indicated a willingness to make the necessary staffing changes or implement the additional training requirements if they receive some assistance from

ICE. Additionally, five percent of the ICE ADP is being held in an PBNDS 2008 facility. ICE had open dialogue with facilities to accomplish the

move to PBNDS 2011 by December 2021 but has received push-back from some facilities that have stated that it is cost-prohibitive for them to move

to ICE’s newest detention standards and implement optimum requirements without a per diem rate increase to affect the transition.

Performance

Encouraging detention facilities to adopt more or all PBNDS 2011 optimum requirements ensures that ICE detainees are housed in the most humane

and least restrictive detention environment possible during their immigration proceedings. This is reflective of the administration’s priority for a fair

and humane immigration process for all noncitizens detained in ICE’s administrative custody.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 29

Program Change 11 – Family Bed Decrease:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes a decrease of $271.1M associated with the costs for having operated the Family Residential Centers (FRCs) in Karnes

County, TX, Dilley in South Texas, and Berks County, PA. The base for this program is 0 FTP, 0 FTE, and $271.1M.

Justification

The retirement of the three FRCs will result in an elimination of 2,500 family beds, terminating the capacity to hold families for long durations

consistent with a reprioritization of civil immigration enforcement. During calendar year 2021 these three locations transitioned to housing adult

populations, and at times Karnes served as a quarantining site helping ICE to manage its pandemic response. To ensure a more humane treatment of

families, the Administration is de-emphasizing family detention practices and increasing reliance upon family processing and monitoring through

ATD programs. Processing and monitoring families through ATD will allow ICE to continue to track noncitizens within the United States, while

allowing families to be active in communities, provide their children with education opportunities, and interact with family members currently in the

country.

Performance

Transitioning from family detention will create faster processing times for families and allow for quicker integration into local communities.

Additionally, ICE will harness the latest technologies such as GPS, SmartLINK, and Telephonic Reporting (VoiceID), and Wrap-around Support

Services (WSS) suite of Extended Case Management within the ATD portfolio to continue to monitor and provide assistance to families before their

immigration hearings. Some of these WSS personal services include individual and family therapy, human trafficking education/screening, and

mental health assessments.

Program Change 12 – Human Capital Infrastructure & Capacity Building:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of 37 Positions, 18 FTE, and $5.1M to provide for ICE Employee Peer Support Program travel, Employee

Assistance Program (EAP) services, psychological assessments for law enforcement officers (LEOs), ongoing HR IT initiatives, and training. The

base for this program is 252 Positions, 252 FTE, and $8.0M.

Justification

The additional positions are needed to increase internal controls for regulatory compliance to reduce the risk of errors causing a negative impact on

ICE’s hiring delegation authority; achieve enhancement and attrition hiring; and improve service delivery to ICE employees and applicants. Between

FY 2019 and FY 2021, the Office of Human Capital (OHC) has maintained an average attrition rate of OHC personnel of 20 percent, as compared to

an average attrition rate of 7 percent of ICE personnel generally for the same period.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 30

This program increase includes 15 positions for OHC staff at ICE Headquarters. The specific staff requested are as follows: one additional position in

the Business Management Unit to effectively manage OHC’s budget and ensure proper financial management and control of funds; one additional

position in the Employee Resilience Unit to assume responsibility for an additional regional area and to provide additional resources to the suicide

prevention program; two additional positions for the Executive Services Unit commensurate with the steady increase in the number of career and

non-career SES, and Schedule C political appointments realized in the last five years; three additional positions for the Internal Controls Unit to

establish and implement a quality management system for OHC; one position for the Medical Affairs Unit to support an annual medical evaluation

program that will support annual assessments of employees’ medical qualification status; three positions for the Payroll Unit; and four positions for

the Strategic Initiatives Unit to meet growing demand and requirements to support the selection of mission critical roles in HSI and ERO.

This program increase also includes 22 positions for the HR Operations Center (HROC). OHC HROC staff resources have not kept pace with the

expanding workload associated with increases in the ICE workforce and operational programs (e.g., 1,643 enhancement positions added since FY

2019). The lack of additional OHC staffing resources relative to staffing growth across most other ICE programs impacts the ability for HROC to

implement the full and operational capability of the new consolidated office restructuring centralized in Dallas, TX. Although HROC is operating

under the new structure, it is doing so without the full complement of HR personnel to provide more timely and efficient services. This request for

personnel will enable HROC to achieve or improve time-to-hire goals, process personnel actions in a timelier manner, and alleviate the need for HR

professionals to work excessive amounts of overtime. A significant volume of work was processed by HROC, but largely at the expense of quality

and accuracy as determined by internal reviews as well as external audits.

Performance

With additional resources, OHC can effectively improve on quality control mechanisms in its vacancy announcements and personnel actions that

could jeopardize HROC’s delegated authority to hire and classify ICE positions; improve completion timelines for organizational design and

classification services; increase retirement counseling services from basic service offerings to more customized, personal service; and increase

response times to HC Link inquiries. OHC can reduce the time-to-hire, which increased to an average of 130-days in FY 2021 from 109-days in FY

2020 (DHS goal being 105-days); increase the number of inquiries responded to and complete actions required to recruit/staff/manage 95-135 SES

positions by 37 percent; increase the number of audits/QA reviews by 36 percent; process 15 percent more payroll personnel actions; review and

process 37 percent more SF-50s and SF-52s; work 22 percent more retirements; and adjudicate 11 percent more applicants.

Program Change 13 – ICE Health Services Corps:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of 50 Positions, 25 FTE, and $6.4M to support ICE’s immigration healthcare system delivery and adapt to

meet the increased operational demands. The base for ERO Custody Operations is 5,341 Positions, 5,368 FTE, and $2.8B.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 31

Justification

The addition of Public Health Service officers will afford IHSC the capability to quickly mobilize trained personnel that can respond to the ebb and

flow of mission needs, especially at the border. These positions are comprised of U.S Public Health Service (PHS) Commissioned Corps officers who

will be assigned to augment our Medical Asset Support Team (MAST) program, Field Medical Coordinator (FMC) program, and health care system

operations. The MAST team will be credentialed medical personnel that will operate in facilities as well as serve on a specialized response teams in

support of DHS missions (e.g., hotel missions, testing missions, unaccompanied minor missions). Additional FMC support will improve efficiency,

disperse workload, and ensure adequate FMC coverage when IHSC personnel and peers are TDY or on leave. Developing a dedicated force of PHS

officers will allow greater flexibility to support mission needs in the very dynamic response required of IHSC personnel.

Performance

The current IHSC TDY On-Call Schedule (ITOS) system uses PHS officers at detention facilities and headquarters units to temporarily staff acute

operational surges, which decreases the productivity of our detention facility and headquarters units and places a repeated and continuous strain on

staff. Repeated TDYs like these burn out staff and cause attrition of our health staff workforce. By incentivizing PHS officers to staff these roles and

creating a dedicated workforce for these missions, both DHS/ICE missions and the medical staff can succeed. PHS officers are often skilled at special

operations and have experiences that are not accessible to those in the private sector. By creating a specialized mobile force of PHS officers,

DHS/ICE ERO will be better resourced to respond to the medical needs that arise at the Nation’s borders.

Program Change 14 – Imaged Documents and Exemplar Library System Enhancement:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $0.4M to replace and extend the capabilities of the existing HSI Forensic Laboratory Imaged

Documents and Exemplar Library (IDEAL) system, and to digitize the HSI Forensic Laboratory’s reference library to be used by forensic examiners

in a Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) scenario such as in a pandemic. The base for this program is 2 Positions, 2 FTEs, $0.8M.

Justification

This funding will be used to modernize the current IDEAL system that serves as an electronic library for over 330,000 genuine, counterfeit, and

altered travel and identity documents and related reference materials. A unique government resource, IDEAL is housed within the HSI Forensic

Laboratory, which serves as the only U.S. crime laboratory specializing in the scientific authentication and research of travel and identity documents

and related issues. IDEAL maintains travel and identity documents that directly support law enforcement and national security investigations by ICE,

DHS, and other Federal and State law enforcement agencies. The system was created in 1999 and is outdated, requiring constant maintenance to

adapt its outdated technology to modern requirements and remain operational. With advanced capabilities, IDEAL can be used more effectively to

compile and analyze data. The modernization will also include a remote access capability to ensure continuity of operations while working remotely.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 32

Performance

The updated system will utilize modernized technology to provide improved image quality, enhance the management of physical documents housed

in the library, allow for greater sharing of information with other law enforcement agencies, and ensure continuity of operations in crisis situations.

In FY 2020, the HSI Forensic Laboratory document examiners completed 947 document examination cases and examined 8,923 pieces of evidence.

Operations personnel conducted 37 training sessions and trained 1,130 students using materials contained in IDEAL. Laboratory staff routinely

provide customized fraudulent document detection training to students from a variety of job positions that require knowledge of travel and identity

documents to perform their duties. Students include foreign and domestic law enforcement officers, personnel adjudicating immigration benefits,

foreign service officers, border control officials, or motor vehicle department staff.

In FY 2021, the number of document examination cases decreased by 58 percent due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the inability to perform remote

examinations due to outdated technology. Despite the decrease, the HSI Forensic Laboratory document examiners completed 402 document

examination cases, examined 7,489 pieces of evidence, conducted 81 training sessions, and trained 4,485 students on materials utilized within

IDEAL. With the proposed enhancement of IDEAL, the laboratory anticipates that examiners will be able to complete more document examination

cases during future crisis situations, as operations will be able to continue remotely. The enhanced imagery, functionality, and information sharing

will result in added value to law enforcement and national security activities.

Program Change 15 – Information Technology for Fear Screening and Visitation:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $15.0M to provide IT investments for fear screenings and visitation, supplementing access to counsel

and enhancing visitation options for detainees. There is no base for this program.

Justification

Because ICE exercises significant authority over detainees for a substantial amount of time, ICE must do so in the most humane manner possible

with a focus on providing sound conditions and care. Providing detainees with the ability to communicate with Asylum Officers, counsel, and family

is paramount.

Enhancing VTC capabilities will allow Asylum Officers flexibility when conducting Credible Fear (CF) or Reasonable Fear (RF) interviews with

detainees when in person interviews are not possible. The improved VTC services will augment the interview quality, enhancing the officer’s ability

to make an accurate assessment.

The IT investments will also improve video visitation by increasing the ICE tablet system for facilities that would allow detainees to make calls at no

cost to them. Currently, most video systems have a 21 cent per-minute cost for a video call, which can inhibit access for indigent detainees. ICE

currently provides 500 minutes a month of free call time per detainee, saving ICE the need for recurring funds to continue to provide this service.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 33

Performance

These technology enhancements and other improvements will ensure ICE detainees are under the most humane civil detention conditions possible

during their immigration proceedings which is reflective of America’s compassion and commitment to due process. The most recent invoiced costs

of providing detainees 500 free minutes a month are greater than $1M; however, these costs fluctuate monthly by detainee population size and usage

of the free minutes. The estimated monthly costs savings will allow ICE to break even within 15 months and eliminate the variable cost of providing

access to the free minutes.

Program Change 16 – M&A Support Infrastructure Expansion:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of 75 Positions (8 LEOs/67 non-LEOs), 37 FTE, and $9.1M to onboard, train, and support ICE LEOs,

direct the planning and execution of ICE policies, and provide management support to meet day-to-day organizational needs. The base for this

program is 2,287 Positions, 2,156 FTE, and $1.3B.

Justification

The requested positions will enable the Management and Administration (M&A) Directorate, including the Office of the Director, to address staffing

deficiencies in several key business lines to support the significant growth in ICE mission operations/staffing. While ICE law enforcement and

attorney personnel have seen increased resources to accommodate mission requirements, M&A staffing support has not kept pace. There are three

key staffing capabilities where additional support is required to support the operating components:

1) Mission Support: This program increase includes $2.7M and four positions in OCFO to manage the increased volume of physical assets, real

property and leasehold services, and general financial management activities as a result of additional resources; two positions in OCIO to support

the management and upkeep of ICE’s core IT infrastructure and security and to implement new IT systems, focusing on the management and

operations of the Secure Private Network initiative and Secure Authentication Initiative; five additional positions in OAQ for the Detention,

Compliance and Removal Division which supports the Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in planning, awarding, and

administering contracts for law enforcement; and 14 positions in the Office of Strategic Planning and Requirements - Components Requirement

Executive (CRE) Office to support the translation of ICE’s high-level strategic plan into operational action plans and aligning resources in

accordance with these action plans. Enhancing CRE will better position ICE to focus its efforts; measure and communicate performance results;

and more effectively engage with key stakeholders around agency operations, performance results, and resource needs.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 34

2) Stakeholder Engagement: This program increase includes $3.6M and 11 positions in the Office of Regulatory Affairs & Policy to address staffing

and operational workforce shortages to ensure ICE complies with legal, regulatory, and policy requirements; 16 positions in the Office of Public

Affairs (OPA) to accommodate the existing engagement demands from the media, ICE programs, and DHS to educate the public about the

Agency’s mission; and four positions in Office of Congressional Relations (OCR) to ensure that congressional requirements in reporting,

constituent inquiries, and other matters under congressional oversight are timely and properly addressed in a sustainable way. OCR’s additional

positions also directly addresses Congress’ request in the FY 2020 Appropriations for ICE to increase its responsiveness to Congress and the

Public.

3) Training and Development: This program increase includes $2.8M and eight positions in the Office of Firearms and Tactical Programs (OFTP) to

allow the office to execute additional training programs due to increasing demands from the ICE operational components. The increasing

demands from ICE operational components are driven by agency growth, changes to use of force policy, the introduction of new use of force

tools, and the increase in post-basic academy training requirements over the last decade; two positions in the Office of Diversity and Civil Rights

(ODCR) to improve the operations of the office to focus on the needs of personnel more effectively across ICE, DHS, and the Federal

government, and external stakeholders; and nine positions in the Office of Leadership and Career Development (OLCD) to accredit three

additional training programs (bringing the total of ICE accredited programs up from four to seven) and the associated curriculum development,

training technology, and mission support personnel. The request also includes additional positions for ICE to meet specific developmental activity

requirements of the DHS Leadership Development Program framework (LDP), achieve full LDP compliance, manage coaching and mentoring

programs, and meet impact and evaluation reporting requirements.

Performance

Additional mission support staff will have material impacts across the support spectrum of foundational services including, but not limited to:

improved time-to-hire rate, decreased investigation and re-investigation backlog, requisite use-of-force training to ensure personnel are properly

trained in execution of their law enforcement duties, additional capacity to address the estimated 10 percent increase in contract actions projected in

FY 2023 to support expanded program activity, improved ability to respond to agency requirements to timely modify policies and regulations, and

improved responsiveness to stakeholders.

Program Change 17 – Non-Detained Docket (NDD) Case Management:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of 45 Positions (LEOs), 23 FTE, and $10.8M to manage increased number of cases on the Non-Detained

Docket and to address the issues identified in the April 13, 2017, OIG report titled “ICE Deportation Operations.” The base for this program is 365

Positions, 365 FTE, and $58.7M.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 35

Justification

In FY 2021, ICE’s Non-Detained Docket continued to increase primarily due to migrant fluctuations along the Southwest border (SWB) of the

United States and the historic levels of CBP encounters and apprehensions at the SWB. In FY 2019, Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

encounters of family units (FAMU) at the SWB surged 342 percent over FY 2018, which added significantly to the Non-Detained Docket caseload.

During FY 2020, the total number of encounters decreased by approximately 53 percent from FY 2019 encounter levels; however, in FY 2021 CBP

total encounters increased by 278.7 percent from FY 2020 encounter level. The number of noncitizens on ICE’s Non-Detained Docket surpassed 3

million cases for the first time in FY 2019. The backlog continued to trend upwards as the caseload count for FY 2020 was over 3.26 million and in

FY 2021 exceeded 3.6 million.

The OIG report found that “ICE is almost certainly not deporting all the noncitizens who could be deported and will likely not be able to keep up

with growing numbers of deportable noncitizens.” As of June 5, 2021, there were 405,786 convicted criminal noncitizens on the Non-Detained

Docket. Law enforcement officer case workload associated with the Non-Detained Docket is increasing at a pace unmatched by growth in the

number of law enforcement officer staff resources required to manage the docket. Through May of FY 2021, cumulative changes in non-detained

docket total cases reached 74 percent while growth in law enforcement officer personnel assigned to the NDD grew at only 20 percent over the same

period.

Performance

The requested personnel will increase public safety by arresting and removing criminal noncitizens as soon as possible. Increased personnel will

enable more efficient management of the NDD case backlog with the goals of reducing the NDD by five percent (approximately 184,293 cases) after

year three, with a target of 10 percent (approximately 368,586 cases) after year five once all FY 2023 staffing is received.

• Identifying noncitizens’ final order status change within 5 days;

• Identifying noncitizens’ criminal change due to convictions within 10 days;

• Decreasing the average workload of a Non-Detained Docket officer to an achievable ratio of cases per officer each year, with a final target ratio

of approximately 7,600 cases per officer; and

• Increasing targeting capability to provide each ERO field office with a list of prioritized individuals within their Area of Responsibility (AOR) to

target for removal.

ICE has been building internal capabilities for the last two years working up to meet newly established Non-Detained Docket goals. In FY 2021,

ERO has accomplished the following:

• Reduced overall NDD cases by 30,681 cases for FY 2021;

• Identified 15 percent of NDD final orders within 30 days of issuance;

• Developed a system to bulk query criminal records; and

• Decreased the average ratio of cases per officer by assigning 215 new positions to the field offices to meet our goal of no more than 7,600 cases

per officer.

Program Change 18 – OPLA Litigation Team Augmentation:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of 341 Positions (268 attorneys/73 legal support staff), 171 FTE, and $58.4M for litigations teams,

facilities costs, and PLAnet contractors to support an ongoing increased workload associated with DOJ EOIR new Immigration Judges (IJ) team

hiring and courtroom expansion. The base for OPLA is 1,838 Positions, 1,749 FTE, and $341M. (An additional $10.5M is requested in PC&I

funding for a total request of $68.9M).

Justification

Since FY 2019, EOIR’s authorized capacity has increased by 150 IJ teams (900 positions) compared to ICE’s 219 total positions. According to the

ICE Workload Staffing Model (WSM), ICE requires 3.9 attorneys and legal support (one litigation team) to cover the caseload associated with each

IJ team. Assuming ICE and EOIR receive all resources requested in FY 2022 and EOIR requests no additional IJs in FY 2023, ICE will have a

cumulative staffing shortfall of 1,010 positions relative to EOIR’s 734 authorized IJ teams by FY 2023 based on authorized levels. Considering

actual onboard staffing levels as of the end of FY 2021, EOIR had 559 IJs onboard and if EOIR increases its onboard count by an additional 70 IJs

(629 onboard IJs) by the end of FY 2022, and assuming ICE meets its FY 2022 hiring goals, ICE will begin FY 2023 with a staffing deficit of

approximately 669 positions relative to EOIR’s onboard level. EOIR has opened and is funded to open additional new immigration courts in cities

where ICE has had no presence, such as in Sacramento and Van Nuys, California; Loudoun County, Virginia; Laredo, Texas; and Silver Spring,

Maryland. This request will address ICE OPLA’s chronic staffing and facility shortages relative to EOIR caused by a lack of comparable funding.

Funding ICE’s litigation teams proportionate to EOIR augmentations would maximize court efficiency and the effectiveness of prosecutorial

discretion in support of efforts to address the backlog of nearly 1.4 million pending immigration cases.

Performance

By statute and delegation, ICE is the sole representative of the U.S. Government in removal proceedings before the EOIR immigration courts. This

funding will allow ICE to have more capacity to appear at immigration court locations and support operational activities. These activities include

providing high level quality of legal support to central core ERO and HSI missions by preventing immigration benefits and status to be granted to

dangerous criminals, terrorists, and human rights violators, through prosecutions by ICE attorneys in immigration court on behalf of the U.S.

Government. Finally, these resources would provide the capability to obtain final orders on more than two percent of the existing immigration case

backlog of nearly 1.4 million cases and open new facilities simultaneously with new EOIR courts. Without this request, ICE, the statutorily exclusive

representative of the government in removal proceedings, cannot guarantee that there will be an attorney to represent the government before each IJ

that EOIR hires, especially in locations where ICE has no physical presence.

Program Change 19 – Repository for Analytics in a Virtualized Environment Funding Adjustment:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $15.0M for Repository for Analytics in a Virtualized Environment Funding Adjustment (RAVEn), to

provide HSI with critical analytic capabilities and the tools to combat TCOs illegally exploiting U.S. travel, trade, financial, and immigration

systems. The base for this program is 15 Positions, 15 FTE, and $21.8M.

Justification

Funding for the RAVEn Platform will increase the velocity of data entry, search, and retrieval, which will enable agents and analysts to focus on their

core function, investigative activities. Tools and capabilities developed leveraging FY 2021 and FY 2022 PC&I funding will be transferred to O&S

by FY 2023; these tools will dramatically drive down the time it takes agents and analysts to extract relevant information and make data driven

decisions. Examples of specific capabilities which will be deployed by FY 2023 and will incur O&S support costs include:

• Machine person disambiguation (entity resolution): A mission critical task for investigations is the fusion of information from many different

sources to illuminate the actions of criminal actors and organizations. Traditionally, this has been a time-consuming manual task, in RAVEn

machine learning and graph technology is leveraged to drive most of the manual interaction out of the process. A representative test was

performed on the manual fusion of two common datasets vs the solution which will be deployed in FY 2022. The test revealed a task which took

four hours manually was performed in less than one minute by the system.

• Machine translation: Given that HSI’s mission is to investigate transnational crime it is a reality that much of the evidence collected is in

languages other than English. HSI has piloted a machine translation solution which during the pilot demonstrated a more than $30 million cost

avoidance verses leveraging traditional manual contract translation services, additionally the translations were delivered in two weeks instead of

previous timing of more than six months.

Performance

RAVEn serves as HSI’s curation point for data analytics and data analytic tools. In FY 2022 HSI will transition so that RAVEn is the primary

investigative analytics tool supporting all HSI agents and analysts across all program areas and investigation case types. With this transition agents

and analysts will have the ability to execute complex analytical queries and leverage numerous advanced machine learning tools aimed at reducing

time to action. Additionally, in the O&M phase the RAVEn program will staff contract data scientists and data analysts to provide direct support to

cases to help identify correlations between criminal elements, such as opioid dealers, war criminals, and other TCOs. This will also mark the

achievement of the Initial Operating Capability (IOC) milestone for the RAVEn program and the need for O&S funding to support the O&M costs

related to managing the system in production. This funding will be used to pay for contract DevSecOps support, contract support for minor adaptive

maintenance, contract data scientist support, cloud hosting, limited software licensing, and other program support costs.

ICE – O&S - 38

Program Change 20 – Secure Private Network Connection:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $3.5M to provide for the cost of a modernized and scalable remote access solution. Support for this will

be provided through the Security Operations Center IT Investment. The base for this program is 15 Positions, 15 FTE, and $8.2M.

Justification

Remote access and mobility are essential to ICE employees, especially during the pandemic and post-pandemic reality. The "new normal" of a

flexible and mobile workforce requires the ability for ICE personnel to access resources on the ICE network on-demand, efficiently, and securely

while working from home or other off-site locations. Therefore, ICE requires a modernized and scalable remote access approach. The legacy remote

access network and security infrastructure solution that exists today does not scale to meet the needs of the ICE user community. By embracing

secure cloud transformation efficiencies, this new solution will improve access speeds and availability to ICE's internal network resources. This

overall effort aligns with the Department’s Workforce Transformation Initiative (WTI) and COVID-19 response.

Performance

In FY 2020 Q3-Q4, ICE OCIO performed a pilot of the proposed Secure Private Network Connection solution. Over 50 users participated in this

pilot evaluating the user experience for gained efficiencies, security, and availability with successful results. OCIO validated the solution improves

remote access performance and meets DHS Trusted Internet Connection (TIC) 3.0 remote access security compliance objectives. Industry has

reported increases in efficiency of 10-30 percent for solutions beyond legacy Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions. The user experience is also

improved with this solution due to its worldwide cloud distributed connectivity architecture model versus the current legacy connection model at the

DHS Data Centers. DHS currently controls bandwidths for all users on the DHS network. With the new solution, these decisions will be made at the

Agency level and tailored specifically to ICE mission needs. This modernized solution was successfully evaluated during the pilot project to support

all ICE mobile device capabilities including laptops, phones, tablets, etc. Users will experience faster access to network resources which increases

productivity as well as reduce network access issues and Service Desk tickets.

Program Change 21 – T-8 Funding Adjustment:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $6.0M for Title 8 (T-8) mission critical solutions lacking an enterprise IT system, such as Operations

Planning, Forms, Bonds, and Travel Documents that Government audits and Congressional inquiries have highlighted ICE deficiencies. The base of

this program is 10 Positions, 6 FTE, and $5.9M. (An additional $8.1M is requested in PC&I funding for a total request of $14.1M).

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 39

Justification

The T-8 initiative is a multi-year IT modernization effort providing incremental delivery of improved reporting capabilities, system enhancements,

data processes, and operational efficiencies for ERO. The current T-8 Program 1 Roadmap prioritizes the development of systems based on current

IT system gaps, dependencies, benefits, risks, and impact to the ICE mission. FY 2020 Enacted Appropriations Act provided additional funding for

T-8 to accelerate modernization of ICE' s immigration information technology systems, data platform, and reporting and analytics capabilities.

Additional funding will support more effective allocation of detention bed capacity, by providing detention officers timely and accurate data related

to bed space utilization by providing greater visibility into available bed space in all facilities across the country in a single application. It will also

standardize and streamline the process for determining and approving detention facility/bed assignments.

Performance

T-8 applications will maximize the use of existing data to limit the amount of repeated manual entry while improving use of high-assurance

identification and verification methods for individuals throughout the immigration lifecycle. Additionally, T-8 will deliver a leads management and

planning capability to speed up the identification and apprehension of at-large criminal targets. The requested funding allows for the build out of an

application to enable officers to auto-populate forms based on existing data, which will streamline the current manual process. Currently, it takes

approximately 10-20 minutes per form to manually fill out, depending on the form complexity. The auto fill process will take approximately less than

30 seconds. T-8 will leverage cloud-based technologies to increase the speed, accuracy, and depth (i.e., person-centric, event-centric, and attribute

centric) of immigration data queries, which collectively will reduce the number of hours spent manually processing, reviewing, and disseminating the

results of complex queries. T-8 will deliver several applications to automate and streamline processes for assigning noncitizens to detention facilities

and on removal flights to their home country. Currently, the manual process requires the operator to switch between Outlook and various Excel

spreadsheets to complete the flight profile taking approximately three to four hours to create a flight profile, which is required before a seat can be

requested and booked on a flight. The ICE Air Operation Charter will create a flight plan in approximately one minute.

Program Change 22 – Telecommunication Technologies for Psychological Healthcare:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $2.0M for technology to connect patients in one location to providers in another location and increase

health care access when detainee patients’ medical, behavioral health, and dental needs expand beyond on-site services. There is no base for this

program.

Justification

The technology solutions funded by this Program Change provide for health promotion, disease management, specialty care, and consultative

services ensuring optimal patient outcomes by expanding access to care not available on site due to medical provider voids. The combination of

videoconferencing and diagnostic tools enables real-time triage and decision-making for improved patient outcomes.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 40

ICE Health Service Corps’ mission is to be the best health care delivery system in detention health care and correctional health care, and to safely

deliver high quality health care to those in ICE custody. Correctional health care staff recruitment and retention successes vary by geographic

location and specialty resulting in fluctuations of timely access to comprehensive clinical services. The result is costly transportation to and from

specialty clinical services, delays in access to timely diagnostic and treatment decisions, and other custody logistical issues exacerbated by acute,

subacute, and chronic medical, behavioral health, and dental conditions.

The current specialty health care provider void surrounding IHSC clinic locations results in unpredictable community medical and behavioral

consultant pools. Currently, each site establishes reasonable community health resources for off-site care needs. If a detainee patient requires care

that is not available within the local area transfers to another location are implemented. This disruption of custody, legal, and continuity of medical

services impacts many aspects of detention, complicates case management, and does not always resolve the underlying medical and mental health

challenges.

The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the importance of infection prevention through social distancing and exposure reduction. Telehealth

technologies utilize videoconferencing and diagnostic tools that connect patients in one location to providers in another location, thus reducing

exposure and potential or actual risk for infectious disease transmission. Medical evidence supports the benefits of telehealth and that patient

outcomes are not compromised by using technology diagnostic and treatment tools. The use of telehealth will result in comparable standard of care as

in-person visits and provide improved access to specialty care while limiting the risk of transmissible infections throughout the community.

Performance

Detainee patients will realize shorter wait times for needed care, reduction of off-site clinic visits, and supportive education services for health

promotion and disease management with the increased use of technological solutions. Enhancement of intra-agency medical needs and outside

specialty consultant access through technology solutions will improve the delivery of timely health care to detainee patients and reduce health care

expenditures and the associated logistical costs. By advancing the IT infrastructure, procurement of clinical diagnostics will connect providers and

detainee patients regardless of physical location.

Program Change 23 – Victim Assistance Program:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of 59 Positions (28 LEOs/31 non-LEOs), 30 FTE, and $11.5M for training, travel, and equipment efforts to

adequately expand the HSI Victim Assistance Program (VAP) nationwide and internationally. The base for VAP is 79 Positions, 55 FTE, and

$13.4M.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 41

Justification

The HSI VAP provides assistance to all victims identified in HSI investigations. VAP is accountable for ICE’s responsibilities concerning victim-

related issues, to include providing training and technical assistance to HSI Special Agents responding to victims and providing information and

resource provision to victims encountered during ICE investigations. The VAP responds to victims' issues in a wide range of Federal crimes,

including human trafficking, child pornography, child sex tourism, white collar crime, and human rights abuses. The Forensic Interview Program

(FIP) within the VAP provides trained Forensic Interview Specialists (FIS) to assist HSI Special Agents in their furthering their investigations by

conducting forensic interviews of minor victims. The FIP is a critical part of the VAP as it assists and trains HSI Special Agents and other law

enforcement personnel in minimizing potential short and long-term trauma of the incident and investigation to the victim, as well as maximizes

potential information related to ongoing investigations while ensuring the integrity of the investigative process.

VAP personnel utilize victim-centered and trauma-informed approach and provide trainings to HSI Special Agents on the approach. Victim

Assistance Specialists (VASs) are unarmed civilian employees who frequently have a social work background and are responsible for assessing

victims’ needs and making referrals for support services. VASs work in close partnership with FISs to provide assistance to victims, as mandated by

Federal law. Having a VAS with extensive training in victim-centered, trauma-informed approaches as the main point of contact for a victim’s

engagement with a law enforcement agency helps increase a victim’s trust, confidence, and cooperation. Upon survivor recovery, victims can

participate as witnesses in the criminal justice process, so traffickers and child sex offenders are brought to justice. Additionally, the Management

and Program Analyst (MPA) positions will provide direct support to the new hired VAP personnel.

This funding has a direct and positive correlation to the overall mission of ICE, as well as to the 2020 “DHS Strategy to Combat Human Trafficking,

the Importation of Goods Produced with Forced Labor, and Child Sexual Exploitation.”

Performance

The VAP supports field operations by providing mandated training, technical assistance, case consultation, and other capacity building to ensure that

Special Agents and VASs have the knowledge, experience, and resources they need to respond effectively to victims encountered in any HSI

investigation. VAP personnel are expected to be on the ground during operations, to assist victims in need of crisis management in addition to assess

their needs, coordinate and provide for additional assistance and resources, and to ensure victims are informed of their legally mandated rights. This

funding will ensure that VAP personnel have the tools, resources, and transportation necessary to work in close coordination with Special Agents,

conduct victim interviews in a timely fashion, and provide critical victim assistance.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 42

HSI expects a significant increase in victim assistance and operational support with the hiring of the additional 28 Special Agents (25 field agents and

3 National Program Managers), 28 VASs, and 3 MPAs particularly in support of the thousands of human trafficking, labor trafficking, financial, war

crime, and child sexual exploitation investigations that HSI conducts each year. Expanding the number of VASs nationwide will lead to increased

number of witnesses. In FY 2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, VAP personnel assisted 2,188 victims, including 964 victims of child

exploitation, 566 victims of financial crimes, 418 victims of human trafficking, and 240 in other categories. In FY 2021, VAP personnel assisted

2,382 victims were assisted by VAP personnel, including 1,078 victims of child exploitation, 353 victims of financial crimes, 728 victims of human

trafficking, and 223 in other categories. There are many more potential victim witnesses that VASs can leverage in identifying and preventing human

trafficking and child exploitation. This funding will allow HSI to help and provide support to them. The additional VASs also will free up time for

130 Special Agents, who are currently serving as Victim Assistance Coordinators (VACs) in a collateral capacity, enabling them to fully refocus on

their investigations.

Enhancements made to the VAP in FY 2019 and 2020 increased the FIS program by 500 percent, from 6 to 30 FISs, and the VAS program by 30

percent, from 27 to 35 VASs. This funding is critical for the VAP to ensure and preserve its existence and to continue to provide sufficient level of

support requested by the field. This capability will be utilized to continue VAP personnel’s critical mission of helping victims of various crimes and

to assist HSI Special Agents in furthering their investigations.

Program Change 24 – Zero Trust Implementation:

Description

The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of 4 Positions, 2 FTE, and $16.0M for six digital infrastructure improvement initiatives to reduce risk and

vulnerabilities of the ICE IT infrastructure and increase the efficiency and resiliency of critical IT systems. There is no base for this program.

Justification

Zero Trust Implementation increases the efficiency and resiliency of traffic routing and provide visibility of threats in encrypted traffic. In addition, it

limits the impact of breach by decreasing the mobility/access available to a malicious actor. ICE will establish a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

infrastructure that will provide security based on Identity and Context of the user/device. It will also mature the Enterprise beyond perimeter-based

security by securing Cloud and Mobile activity. Zero Trust alternatives to VPN’s and Trusted Internet Connections (TICs) will modernize remote

access and Software as a Service (SaaS) security. The benefits of implementing Zero Trust are:

• Enhance the ability to identify threats (e.g., zero-day threats),

• Alert personnel with early warnings of security breaches,

• Increase visibility on threats within encrypted traffic,

• Prevent lateral movement of breached malicious actors,

• Improve capacity to access HVA security,

• And provide capabilities to access vendor dependencies.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operations and Support

ICE – O&S - 43

Performance

Funding provided will enable ICE to remediate the vulnerabilities inherited through the SolarWinds compromise. It will also provide a multi layered

enterprise approach for securing and strengthening ICE’s network and cloud infrastructures, ensuring the reliability and availability of mission-

essential systems impacting ICE’s user community. These initiatives will improve the ICE IT Enterprise security operations by proactively

identifying threats and malicious activity on the ICE infrastructure. Once implemented the efficiency of ICE’s incident response capabilities will be

greatly increased. The additional tools, monitoring, and skills ensure that devices and users only have access to what they need, when they need it.

With this funding, new “normal” baselines will be created to spot malicious actors faster, ICE will add additional permitter controls closer to the data,

all leading to an increased defensive posture. This faster response time and designing ICE network and applications control lateral movement on the

network with containers ensure that the Law Enforcement and Privacy Sensitive Data is further protected against evolving cybersecurity threats.

These enterprise solutions will support not only the shared infrastructure supporting all ICE applications, but the individual applications as well.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers

Non-LEOs: Mission Support Non-LEOs provide operational support, including financial, human resources, and communications management, to

ICE programs. ICE requests additional Non-LEOs in FY 2023 to provide critical mission-enhancing support to frontline staff. The increase from FY

2022 to FY 2023 is due to the hiring of additional Non-LEO FTEs in FY 2023 Program Changes, the 2023 Pay Raise, the Annualization of the 2022

Pay Raise, and the Annualization of FY 2022 FTE.

IT Specialists: IT Specialists manage and maintain ICE’s core IT infrastructure and software, keeping it secure by detecting and defending against

cyber threats. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due to 2023 Pay Raise.

Criminal Investigators (CIs): Mission Support CIs in the OPR investigate criminal and administrative misconduct within ICE and are responsible

for executing the security operations that protect ICE personnel, facilities, and information. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due to

additional hiring in FY 2023 Program Changes for M&A Support Infrastructure Expansion as well as the Annualization of 2022 Pay Raise and the

2023 Pay Raise.

Detention and Deportation Officers (DDOs): Mission Support DDOs are responsible for conducting the training of law enforcement personnel

throughout ICE. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due additional hiring in FY 2023 Program Changes for M&A Support Infrastructure

Expansion, and FY 2023 Pricing Changes including the Annualization of 2022 Pay Raise and the 2023 Pay Raise.

$73,778

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers

Rent: This cost driver funds all rental payments at GSA-leased and other rental payments at ICE-occupied facilities across the country. The decrease

from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is driven by the rent pricing change, decreased rental payments to GSA, and adjusted rent costs from proposed staffing

adjustments.

Non-Rent Enterprise-Wide Costs: This cost driver includes the centrally managed “must pay” costs of agency-wide services, which ICE has

limited ability to alter. Costs include Accident and Workers Compensation, Unemployment Compensation, Alien Files, Health Units, Printing and

Graphics, Transit Subsidy, Postage and Mail Management, Federal Protective Service (FPS) Security Charges, Energy and Environment, Overtime

Utilities, Direct Leasing, DHS Working Capital Fund (WCF), and Forms. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 primarily reflects additional

Worker’s Compensation and Transit Subsidy.

Mission Support Advisory and Assistance Services: This cost driver is new for the FY 2023 Budget. It includes the cost of financial and HR

contract support as well as contract program management costs in Mission Support.

Office of Professional Responsibility: Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) is responsible for upholding ICE’s professional standards

through a multi-disciplinary approach of security, inspections, and investigations. OPR promotes organizational integrity by vigilantly managing

ICE’s security programs, conducting independent reviews of ICE programs and operations, and by impartially investigating allegations of serious

employee and contractor misconduct and internal and external threats against ICE personnel and facilities. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is

due to the requested increase for OPR Personnel Security Operations as well as the annualization of the FY 2022 OPR enhancement.

Operations and Support Mission Support – PPA

ICE – O&S - 57

OCIO Tactical Communications Radio Refresh and O&M: TACCOM includes costs for the purchase of additional hardware and network

equipment to continue the refresh of 2,800 mobile radios and 2,800 portable radios nearing end-of-life that lack critical functionality and to fund

ongoing maintenance and improvements. Funding was maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Equipment: This cost driver is new for the FY 2023 Budget as it was previously included in the Other Costs cost driver category. It includes the cost

of equipment and the operation and maintenance of equipment for all new ICE positions.

Fleet Replacement Plan: ICE operates a diverse fleet of vehicles that range from heavy-duty armored trucks to standard law enforcement vehicles.

Maintaining the fleet through critical maintenance investments, planned acquisitions, and disposals is critical to fulfilling the Agency’s mission and

protecting the safety of ICE officers. Funding was maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Other Costs: Included in Other Costs are non-pay modular costs elements for staff that pertain to Mission Support as a result of the service-wide

costs (SWC) realignment (i.e., weapons, IT equipment, medical exams). It also includes travel, training, supplies, and contract support for Mission

Support offices. There is an increase in FY 2023 associated with the 20 FY 2023 Program Changes that include additional positions and subsequent

modular costs. The decrease shown in the table is due to breaking out the Equipment cost driver in FY 2023.

Operations and Support Mission Support – PPA

ICE – O&S - 58

Budget Activities

Primary Mission Support Offices

The Mission Support PPA funds six primary offices, which combined, furnish ICE employees with the supporting infrastructure necessary to perform

their duties enforcing the Nation’s immigration laws.

Office of the Director (OD)

OD provides the executive and accountable leadership to ICE, its operations, and to its professionals. OD directs the planning and execution of

objectives outlined in the ICE strategic plan, providing management support to meet day-to-day organizational needs and long-term goals. OD

includes the Executive Associate Director (EAD) for M&A and oversees the 12 offices that support ICE’s operations. OD’s responsibilities include

employee training and development, human resources management (including the protection of employee and applicant rights), and compliance with

the Privacy Act and related policies. OD is responsible for ICE operational and administrative policy and procedures, building public understanding

and support for the Agency’s mission, serving the needs of crime victims in cases involving immigration, providing timely and accurate responses to

Congressional, stakeholder, and delivering public correspondence, and responding to FOIA requests.

Office of Acquisition (OAQ)

OAQ’s mission is to manage the Agency’s enterprise-wide strategic approach to procurement. OAQ operates as a full business partner with internal

and external organizations and serves as a strategic asset dedicated to improving the Agency’s overall business performance. OAQ is responsible for

the procurement of goods and services required to sustain ICE’s mission. This is accomplished through an enterprise-wide approach to procurement

while serving as a strategic asset dedicated to improving ICE’s business performance. In FY 2021 OAQ processed 6,846 contract actions totaling

$3.5B in obligations.

Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO)

OCFO manages ICE’s financial and physical assets through the delivery of financial management services, real property and leasehold services while

eliminating weaknesses that prevent adverse audit opinions, and directing the development, execution, and monitoring of sound performance-based

budgets.

To support ICE, OCFO is modernizing its operations by transitioning from a legacy financial management system to a modern integrated financial

system to improve our capabilities as a Shared Service Provider; using a managerial cost accounting model to calculate the cost of moving a

noncitizen through the immigration enforcement cycle; implementing a Workload Staffing Model to determine appropriate staffing and funding

requirements; managing ICE’s vehicle fleet; consolidating and renovating facilities; and conducting multi-sector workforce assessments to determine

the appropriate mix of contractor and Federal resources.

ICE’s FY 2021 O&S funding lapse was less than one percent of its annual budget, which provides maximum flexibility to all ICE programs to make

positive impacts on their respective operations through the entire fiscal year.

ICE – O&S - 59

Office of Human Capital (OHC)

OHC is responsible for providing the full suite of HR services, which includes ensuring that ICE has a talented workforce and the workplace

practices to sustain it. ICE utilizes an updated hiring process that includes a more strategic location-based announcement process and reducing the

time-to-hire metric for mission critical occupations. ICE also employs alternative hiring methods outside of the traditional vacancy announcement

process, including leveraging direct hire and veteran hiring authorities, and Schedule A appointments. In FY 2021, OHC processed 185,618

personnel/payroll actions. OHC also scanned and uploaded 16,120 documents into eOPF and continues to maintain the customer help desk system,

HC Link, which facilitates the receipt, assignment, and tracking of customer inquiries and requests.

Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO)

OCIO is responsible for the management and upkeep of ICE’s core information technology (IT) infrastructure and security, the operations and

maintenance of over 90 major IT systems, and the oversight of the ICE Tactical Communication network. ICE’s core IT infrastructure supports over

1,300 active sites and 32,000 users worldwide. Specific enterprise-wide services include onsite support for ICE field offices, 24/7 service desk and

Network Operations Center support, maintaining the network connecting all ICE field locations, video teleconferencing and telecommunication

support, software license provisioning and management, standardized refresh of workstations, and standardized refresh of tactical radios for all Law

Enforcement Officers (LEOs).

The number of resolved service desk requests, as seen in the chart below, is an indicator of OCIO’s workload. OCIO projects a slight increase in FY

2022 and FY 2023 due to a combination of planned new software releases, projected increases in ICE staffing, and special operations like the SWB

Initiatives.

Operations and Support Mission Support – PPA

ICE – O&S - 60

OPR’s mission is carried out through its three operational divisions and mission support staff.

• Security Division: SEC is responsible for all internal security operations at ICE which protect our people, information, and facilities. SEC is

responsible for managing the personnel security and suitability program at ICE, which includes managing background investigations,

reinvestigations, and the continuous evaluation program for ICE employees and contractors. SEC is also responsible for overseeing the agency’s

security requirements and protecting ICE facilities, as well as managing security operations necessary to safeguard the ICE workforce and

information. This includes detecting, deterring, and mitigating threats against ICE leadership, as well as insider threats.

• Inspections and Detention Oversight Division: IDO is primarily responsible for conducting and overseeing internal inspections, audits, and

reviews of each ICE component, program, and office, both domestically and internationally. This internal oversight provides ICE executive

management with an independent and objective review of the performance of ICE offices and programs by assessing their compliance with

Federal law, applicable policies and procedures, and the agency’s own detention standards.

• Investigations Division: INV acts as the agency’s internal investigative arm, conducting criminal and administrative investigations of alleged

serious employee misconduct and other matters impacting the safety, security, and integrity of ICE. In addition, INV has oversight of key ICE

programs–the Giglio/Henthorn program, the Management Inquiry program, and the Critical Incident program–for the agency.

The graph below depicts the number of anticipated audits, inspections, and reviews completed by the OPR Inspections and Detention Oversight

Division. In FY 2022, OPR will increase inspections activities resulting from ICE’s enhanced enforcement priorities and the expected onboarding of

new positions. In FY 2023, OPR will have reached its inspections goals and will maintain that level going forward.

Operations and Support Mission Support – PPA

ICE – O&S - 61

Enterprise-Wide Costs (EWC)

M&A is responsible for the management, formulation, and execution of EWCs which comprise ICE-wide services integral to continuous operations,

some of which are governed by statute. EWCs require centralized funding to protect their nature as enterprise expenses and ensure funding

availability to meet these “must pay” commitments. The table below presents projected FY 2023 EWC by cost category. Increases in EWCs are

associated with a 40 percent increase postage and mail management costs, a 10 percent increase in Overtime Utilities expenses, and increases in other

enterprise-wide costs associated with the hiring of new positions in FY 2023. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 primarily reflects additional

increases in Non-Rent Enterprise-Wide costs in Worker’s Compensation and Transit Subsidy.

Brief descriptions of the EWC categories are provided below:

• Accident and Workers’ Compensation: Reimburses the Department of Labor’s (DOL) Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs for costs

incurred under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) for injuries, illnesses, and deaths incurred by ICE employees.

• Unemployment Compensation: Funds reimbursement for the unemployment compensation costs billed to ICE by DOL.

• Alien Files: Funds Noncitizen File management support provided by USCIS.

• Clinical Health Units: Provides a systematic assessment of employees exposed or potentially exposed to occupational hazards such as

tuberculosis, hepatitis, and HIV. The Clinical Health Unit also provides outreach nurses for flu immunizations, travel immunizations for

employee travel abroad, and on-site first aid, immunizations, blood pressure, and glucose monitoring through health awareness programs at select

Federal locations.

• Headquarters Health Unit: Provides a nurse, medical services, supplies, and select equipment costs for ICE Headquarters employees. Services

include immunizations, on-site first aid, health screenings, allergy treatments, blood pressure and glucose monitoring, and health awareness

programs.

• Printing and Graphics: Provides shared-service Government Publishing Office (GPO) procurements, graphics, media/branding, and printed

forms distribution support ICE-wide.

• Transit Subsidy: Disbursement of virtual media to ICE employees eligible to receive a non-taxable transit subsidy fringe benefit, consistent with

the IRS established monthly maximum.

• Postage and Mail Management: Provision of U.S. Postal Service postage fees, leased/rented metering equipment, mail surety support, and

express delivery services to over 400 ICE locations.

• Federal Protective Service (FPS) Security Charges: Provides funding to the FPS for the protection of all ICE personnel and property.

• Energy and Environment: Upholds energy, environment, and sustainability compliance efforts for the entire Agency. Ensures that ICE meets all

Federal laws, mandates, and EOs regarding cost savings, compliance issues, technical standards, codes, and regulations at all ICE worksites and

locations.

• Overtime Utilities: Provides funding for costs associated with use of utilities beyond hours identified in the lease agreement in GSA-leased

buildings. Also provides funding for utilities at facilities via negotiated agreement.

• Rent: Provides funding for GSA-leased space.

• Direct Leasing: Payment of monthly rent obligations resulting from direct leases.

• Forms and Distribution-Regulation: Provides a central forms management and collections capability for the Agency to conform to the Paperwork

Reduction Act.

PPA Level I Description

OPLA promotes public safety and homeland security by providing legal

counsel and representation, personnel training, and litigation support to

ICE and its programs. OPLA is the largest legal entity within DHS, with

over 1,300 attorneys assigned to 25 field locations throughout the United

States and at ICE Headquarters (HQ). OPLA serves as the exclusive

DHS representative in removal proceedings before DOJ EOIR, the

agency responsible for conducting administrative immigration

proceedings in the United States. These proceedings involve

complicated legal issues of citizenship, removability from the United

States, eligibility for immigration relief, and prosecutorial discretion.

OPLA attorneys provide personnel training and expert legal counsel in

the areas of customs, immigration, and criminal law; labor and

employment law; commercial and administrative law; and ethics

standards. OPLA attorneys also work full-time at U.S. Attorney’s

Offices (USAOs) as Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys (SAUSAs), prosecuting criminal cases generated by DHS Components in Federal district court.

OPLA provides its legal expertise through three branches: Field Legal Operations, Enforcement and Litigation, and General and Administrative Law.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers

Attorneys: OPLA attorneys provide legal counsel and representation, personnel training, and litigation support to ICE’s programs. ICE requests 268

(134 FTE) additional attorneys in FY 2023 to support increased workload. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is attributable to the attorney

staffing enhancement request, and for increased personnel-related expenses, such as for benefits, FY 2023 Program Changes, the 2023 Pay Raise, the

Annualization of the 2022 Pay Raise, and Annualization of FY 2022 FTE.

Non-Attorneys: Non-attorney OPLA staff provide critical legal and administrative assistance to increase the effectiveness of attorneys serving

within OPLA. ICE requests an additional 73 (37 FTE) non-attorneys in the FY 2023 budget. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due to

additional hiring of Non-Attorneys in FY 2023 Program Changes, and FY 2023 Pricing Changes, including the 2023 Pay Raise, the Annualization of

the 2022 Pay Raise, and the Annualization of FY 2022 FTE.

Explanation of Non-Pay Cost Drivers

Document Scanning and Litigation Contract Support: Document Scanning and Litigation Support are critical to OPLA operations and ICE's

ability to respond to litigation discovery requirements and provide document scanning, indexing, and data entry support services into PLAnet for the

more than 1,200 OPLA attorneys in 25 Chief Counsel’s Offices nationwide. Documents scanned into PLAnet include charging documents, criminal

history reports, court orders, and other legal correspondence. The contract allows OPLA to reduce the administrative burden on attorneys and

improves information sharing across OPLA. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is attributable to increased document scanning and Litigation

Contract Support.

Case Management System: PLAnet, OPLA’s Case Management System, provides a repository for all of ICE’s attorneys’ casework related to

immigration and removal proceedings that ICE’s more than 1,200 attorneys adjudicate and tracks hours for the training and ancillary work attorneys

complete. Funding was maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Other Costs: Other Costs includes travel, costs associated with, but not part of, the case management system (ICE eDS licenses and data storage),

and other contractual requirements (e.g., FOIA express and Office of Personnel Management [OPM] staffing licenses), which fall under advisory

services. The increase in Other Costs is attributed to hiring new positions.

ICE – O&S - 69

Budget Activities

The OPLA PPA funds three primary divisions:

Field Legal Operations (FLO)

There were slightly over 1.4 million administrative immigration removal cases pending before EOIR at the end of FY 2021, an increase of 29 percent

since the beginning of FY 2020 at which time there were just under 1.1 million cases pending. Approximately 1,100 FLO attorneys staffed at 25 field

locations represent the U.S. Government in these cases, which include contested removals, custody determinations, and noncitizen-generated

applications for relief from removal. At the end of FY 2021, FLO had six full-time SAUSAs assigned to prosecute criminal immigration and law

violations in Federal court, and SAUSAs processed over 557 USAO case receipts, securing over 264 criminal convictions in Federal district court.

FLO attorneys provide direct, day-to-day specialized legal support to ICE operational components and prosecute HSI-generated worksite

enforcement actions before the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO), resulting in the recovery of millions of dollars in fines

per year. FLO attorneys are also responsible for most detention-related individual habeas proceedings. Additionally, FLO attorneys train ICE

operational components on legal topics covering the entirety of ICE’s statutory authorities; provide daily immigration advice to USAOs and DHS

Components; and complete reviews of DHS-generated Notices to Appear (NTA), ensuring consistent interpretation and application of the

Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), nationwide. In FY 2020, FLO reviewed 106,652 NTAs and obtained over 157,000 removal orders. In FY

2021, FLO reviewed 47,338 NTAs and obtained 37,020 removal orders.

Enforcement and Litigation (E&L)

Through close client engagement and specialized legal advice and counsel, E&L advances ICE’s homeland security and public safety mission by

supporting the enforcement of our Nation’s immigration, customs, and criminal laws and policies, defending the operational authorities and decisions

of ICE officers and agents in the Federal courts, and guiding and supporting the advocacy of ICE attorneys before the immigration courts and the

Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). E&L places special emphasis on cases involving criminal noncitizens, human rights violators, and noncitizens

who threaten our national security. Six divisions comprise E&L:

District Court Litigation Division (DCLD): DCLD assists ICE and DOJ with Federal litigation in areas including strategy, motion practice,

discovery, and settlement negotiations, and adjudicates administrative claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act. DCLD works closely with DHS

Office of the General Counsel HQ and DOJ to defend lawsuits challenging ICE’s law enforcement authorities including the use of detainers, border

search, mandatory detention of certain criminal noncitizens, and matters related to family detention. DCLD is also responsible for significant habeas

litigation and is currently handling 106 class actions, comprising approximately 25 percent of DCLD’s caseload. In FY 2021, DCLD received 325

administrative tort claims and adjudicated 223, and defended against over $899M in damages sought, adjudicating and paying out $320,753 of that

total in completed cases and claims. In FY 2021, OPLA received 141 new declaratory, injunctive, and Bivens lawsuits.

Operations and Support Office of the Principal Legal Advisor – PPA

ICE – O&S - 70

ERO Law Division (EROLD): EROLD provides legal advice and training to ERO HQ divisions (Field Operations, Enforcement, Custody

Management, Removal, ICE Health Service Corps, and Law Enforcement Systems & Analysis) on matters including ERO’s general arrest authority,

Fourth Amendment searches and seizures, authority under section 287(g) of the INA, the Visa Waiver Program, and matters dealing with

Unaccompanied Children. EROLD provides legal advice, guidance, litigation support, and training to 25 OPLA field locations and components

within ERO charged with the Agency’s detention and removal missions on issues including conditions of detention, disabilities and civil rights,

detainee medical and mental health care, detention authorities, hunger strikes, removal strategies, detainers, criminal history information sharing,

operations to locate fugitive noncitizens, alternatives to detention, post-order custody, repatriation, deferred action, mass migration, the impact of

sanctuary laws and policies, immigration enforcement involving juveniles and family units, and claims to U.S. citizenship. In FY 2021, EROLD

reviewed 465 U.S. citizenship claims. EROLD also provides legal support to the ICE Office of Regulatory Affairs and Policy in the preparation of

ICE regulations in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act and assists with Executive Order implementation.

HSI Law Division (HSILD): HSILD provides customs law, criminal immigration, and general criminal law advice to ICE HSI, the Office of

Professional Responsibility, the Office of the Director, and OPLA field locations. HSILD plays an integral role in advising HSI Special Agents,

leading to criminal arrests, indictments, and convictions; civil penalties; and the seizure of currency, assets, narcotics, and other contraband. HSILD

provides advice for issues pertaining to HSI and border search authority and policy; financial crimes, asset forfeiture, cultural property repatriation,

confidential informants and undercover operations, customs fraud, intellectual property rights, cybercrime, child exploitation, export enforcement,

identity and benefit fraud, contraband smuggling, gangs, HSI special activities, task force officer issues, international law enforcement cooperation,

search and seizure, intelligence, technical operations, intellectual property rights violations, and worksite enforcement matters. HSILD’s vital legal

support contributed to the success of HSI, which had 34,974 criminal arrests, 18,309 criminal indictments, and 11,301 criminal convictions in FY

2021. In FY 2020 HSILD had 31,915 criminal arrests, 17,194 criminal indictments, and 11,846 criminal convictions.

Human Rights Violator Law Division (HRVLD): HRVLD works to deny human rights abusers and war criminals haven in the United States.

HRVLD reviews and approves recommendations to lodge human rights charges in exclusion, deportation, and removal proceedings. HRVLD

attorneys advise on laws implicating human rights issues, criminal prosecutions of human rights violators including human traffickers, and financial

and travel sanctions related to serious human rights abuses. HRVLD provides expert advice on matters relating to female genital mutilation, use or

recruitment of child soldiers, particularly severe violations of religious freedom, gender-based violence, human smuggling, human trafficking,

Federal victim assistance, S-visas, T-visas, U-visas, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), ICE’s Witness Security program, HSI’s parole

program, and human rights violator-related pre-order custody provisions. HRVLD also serves as OPLA’s representative and the lead legal officer at

the Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Center. During FY 2021, HRVLD and ICE partners obtained removal orders and secured the removal

and/or departure of 1,268 known or suspected human rights abusers and managed approximately 1,711 active human rights cases.

Immigration Law and Practice Division (ILPD): ILPD provides immigration-related legal advice to 25 OPLA field locations, ICE components, DHS

OGC HQ, and other agencies. ILPD oversees advocacy before EOIR and cases on referral to the Attorney General, monitors immigration-related

litigation in Federal courts, and works with DOJ to address cases on petitions for review before the U.S. Courts of Appeals or for a writ of certiorari

before the U.S. Supreme Court. ILPD is responsible for pre-order custody authority and related custody redetermination issues, including appeals and

stays, and advises on criminal grounds of removability, relief from removal, and protection law issues such as asylum and credible and reasonable

fear. In FY 2021, ILPD oversaw the filing of 578 DHS appeals; perfected seven stays of custody decisions for noncitizens who posed a danger to the

community or were otherwise ineligible for bond; and handled 42 supplemental briefing requests from the BIA.

National Security Law Division (NSLD): NSLD reviews and makes recommendations with respect to lodging national security charges during

immigration proceedings, advises on national security-related detention provisions and criminal prosecutions of terrorist noncitizens, and provides

guidance to FLO and ICE operational programs regarding national security issues. NSLD supports the Student and Exchange Visitor Program

(SEVP) in administrative proceedings for the nearly 7,647 schools certified by SEVP and assisting with cases involving nonimmigrant students who

threaten public safety and national security. NSLD coordinates with ILPD on national security-related pre-order custody provisions and with EROLD

on continued post-order detention authority due to security or terrorism concerns. In FY 2021, NSLD supported the investigations, removal

proceedings, and criminal prosecutions of 3,341 cases with a national security nexus, 484 of which were pending Federal Bureau of Investigation

Joint Terrorism Task Force investigation.

General and Administrative Law

General and Administrative Law has four legal divisions and represents the Agency in matters related to contract law, employment law, privacy and

information law, and ethics standards, among other areas.

Commercial and Administrative Law Division (CALD): CALD represents and advises ICE in the areas of procurement law, fiscal law,

administrative law, emergency management, suspension and debarment, environmental law, and debt collection, including immigration surety bonds,

employee debt, and past-due worksite enforcement fines. CALD represents ICE before the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in bid protest

litigation, before the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA) in contract disputes and Federal Travel Regulation appeals, and before

administrative law judges in hearings on employee debt. CALD is counsel to ICE’s Head of Contracting Activity, its Chief Financial Officer, and its

Suspension and Debarment Official. In FY 2021, CALD reviewed 1,436 procurement actions and recovered $8.28 million in debts owed to ICE.

Labor and Employment Law Division (LELD): LELD provides advice, guidance, training, and representation in employment and labor-related

issues. LELD represents ICE before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Merit Systems Protection Board and works with DOJ

to defend against Title VII, Equal Pay Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and Rehabilitation Act claims.

LELD trains ICE program offices to effectively manage personnel matters and liaises with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. Additionally, LELD

manages relations with the American Federation of Government Employees Local 511. In FY 2021, OPLA employment attorneys represented the

Agency in 313 EEO complaints before the EEOC and assisted DOJ with two cases before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Operations and Support Office of the Principal Legal Advisor – PPA

ICE – O&S - 72

Government Information Law Division (GILD): GILD is primarily responsible for advising and supporting ICE program offices in complying with

the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the Privacy Act of 1974, the E-Government Act of 2002, the Federal Records Act of 1950, and the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, while safeguarding privileged and sensitive Agency information maintained to promote homeland security and

public safety. GILD also provides legal advice, guidance, and support to ICE program offices and OPLA field locations on issues of information

disclosure, the protection of ICE information, and records management. GILD is responsible for handling most of the Touhy requests received by

ICE Headquarters. GILD serves as OPLA’s main point of contact concerning the disclosure of ICE information relating to the 287(g) Program, 8

U.S.C. § 1357(g), and State sunshine laws, and provides legal advice on all matters related to the sharing of Agency information, including letters of

intent, and memoranda of understanding and agreements, both at the national and international levels. Further, with the absence of a legislative

counsel division within OPLA, many of the congressional requests received by ICE are now handled by GILD, to include regular communication and

coordination with the ICE Office of Congressional Relations, program office guidance, and the review of documents with the application of

redactions. GILD delivers its robust training program to ICE program offices, OPLA headquarters, and field locations on topics critical to the

Agency’s mission. GILD maintains a substantial litigation and administrative workload. During FY 2021, GILD maintained a litigation portfolio of

170 active lawsuits (including FOIA, Privacy Act, and other litigation), adjudicated 334 appeals, and responded to 2,524 requests for legal advice.

ICE Ethics Office (IEO): IEO trains and provides written advice and guidance on the Standards of Ethical Conduct and criminal statutes for over

20,000 ICE employees stationed in over 400 offices in the United States and around the world. IEO analyzes and certifies more than 3,000 financial

disclosure reports annually using web-based integrated systems of review. IEO oversees OPLA’s Attorney Professional Conduct program,

coordinates with EOIR, USCIS, and bar associations regarding attorney discipline.

PPA Level I Description

This PPA funds Homeland Security Investigations (HSI),

which is responsible for disrupting and dismantling

transnational criminal threats facing the United States. HSI

special agents conduct investigations targeting violations of

United States customs and immigration laws. As the largest

investigative unit within DHS, HSI uses its broad authority to

investigate transnational crimes and threats to national security

related to people, goods, and money. Having authorities in all

three areas is unique in the Federal government and unique to

HSI. HSI partners with other Federal agencies, State and local

law enforcement, international organizations, and foreign

country law enforcement. HSI special agents investigate a wide

range of illegal activities with a focus on identifying,

mitigating, and eliminating the most significant threats to the

safety and security of the American public.

This PPA contains the following Level II PPAs:

Operations and Support Homeland Security Investigations – PPA

ICE – O&S - 74

Domestic Investigations: Domestic Investigations conducts criminal investigations throughout the United States to protect against terrorists,

Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs), and other malicious actors who attempt to exploit America’s trade, travel, and financial operations

and threaten public safety and national security. Domestic operations partners with Federal, State, tribal, local, and foreign law enforcement to

combat human trafficking, drug trafficking, gangs, money laundering, and the exploitation of U.S. customs and immigration laws.

International Operations: International Operations’ global investigative and law enforcement activities target TCOs engaged in human trafficking,

narcotics, money laundering, firearms, the illicit movement of sensitive technologies, as well as investigating the sexual exploitation of children,

including child sex tourism. International Operations partners with foreign law enforcement to address crimes where the U.S. does not have

jurisdiction and also assists the Department of State (DOS) in identifying individuals of concern who are attempting to obtain a U.S. visa

Intelligence: Intelligence collects, analyzes, and shares intelligence to counter threats to public safety and national security in coordination with DHS

and other intelligence community partners. Intelligence supports criminal investigations by consistently producing timely, comprehensive,

and accurate criminal analysis that enables criminal investigators to identify, prioritize, investigate, disrupt, and dismantle terrorist, transnational, and

other criminal organizations that threaten homeland security or seek to exploit the customs and immigration laws of the United States.

PPA Level II Description

Funding for the HSI Domestic Investigations combats TCOs that illegally exploit America’s trade, travel, and financial systems. As the largest and

principal criminal investigative component of DHS, HSI Domestic Investigations targets terrorists, TCOs, and other malicious actors who threaten

public safety and national security. HSI works closely with international and domestic law enforcement partners to execute its mission in an

increasingly complex global environment that poses evolving cyber security challenges. More than 8,900 special agents, investigative support staff,

and mission support staff disrupt threats to America’s borders, national security, and public safety. At the Nation’s physical borders, ports of entry

(POEs), and in the cyber realm, HSI special agents target illicit cells and expansive networks that pose a threat to U.S. national security. HSI special

agents conduct investigations in cities throughout the United States, including in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where criminal

organizations attempt to profit substantially from their illicit activities.

Mission-critical investigative support positions aid HSI’s law enforcement special agents. Criminal analysts and investigative assistants perform

database and telephone record checks, analyze criminal networks, and prepare case documentation that would otherwise consume HSI special agents’

field investigative hours. Highly skilled Cyber Operations Officers (COOs) and Information Technology (IT) cybersecurity specialists assist the HSI

investigative team in developing innovative tools and leveraging emerging technical capabilities to combat cyber threats. Forensic accountants

analyze financial data and work together with special agents to trace and link funding sources to criminal activity and national security threats.

Victim Assistance Specialists (VAS) and Forensic Interview Specialists (FIS) work directly with special agents to provide support and resources to

victims of all crimes investigated by HSI. Additionally, special trained investigative support staff assist with a broad range of functions requiring

expert knowledge and capabilities that are investigative work force multipliers in mission-critical areas. These areas include fingerprint and

polygraph examinations, fraudulent document detection, computer forensics, victim protection, technical enforcement, and labor exploitation.

Budget Activities

Goal 1: Preventing Terrorism and Protecting the Homeland

The protection of national security and countering terrorism are among HSI’s top priorities. HSI prevents terrorism and combats counterintelligence

threats by disrupting the persons or networks seeking to exploit vulnerabilities in U.S. border security, exploit the immigration system, and

circumvent customs laws. Primarily, HSI partners with FBI Headquarters’ Counterterrorism Division (CTD) and their FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task

Force (JTTFs) as well as with FBI Headquarters’ Counterintelligence Division and their FBI-led Counterintelligence Task Forces (CITFs) to ensure

that HSI authorities and capabilities are leveraged against terrorism subjects and hostile foreign intelligence adversaries.

National Security Division (NSD): HSI is charged with executing top DHS priorities: preventing terrorist attacks against the United States. Within

NSD are the following National Security Programs:

• The National Security Unit (NSU): Oversees, manages, and supports counterterrorism (CT) and counterintelligence (CI) investigations within

ICE. NSU develops, facilitates, and implements policies in support of the CT and CI missions, and has programmatic oversight of HSI's

engagement on the JTTF and CITF. In FY 2021, HSI initiated more than 600 counterterrorism investigations and its personnel assigned to the

JTTF obtained 166 criminal indictments, effected 286 criminal arrests and 43 administrative arrests resulting in 62 convictions, executed 109

search warrants, and made 28 seizures related to individuals associated to counterterrorism investigations. While HSI makes up less than 3

percent of the total JTTF workforce, in FY 2021, 86 percent of terrorism-related disruptions were achieved with significant HSI participation. Of

those disruptions, 44 percent were led by HSI utilizing our unique and often exclusive authorities, signifying the prominent role that HSI plays in

countering terrorism every day. In FY 2021, HSI also took proactive steps to increase its partnership with the FBI on their developing CITFs

throughout the U.S. to ensure that HSI’s authorities were considered and employed to disrupt foreign intelligence threats. In FY 2021, HSI

embedded a Senior National Security liaison within the National Counterintelligence Task Force to strategize with over 47 partner agencies on a

multitude of counterintelligence initiatives. Though still in its infancy, in FY 2021, HSI’s engagement on the CITFs resulted in the initiation of

more than 25 investigations, 16 arrests of subjects of national security concern, the revocation of more than 200 visas for subjects of national

security concern, denial of entry into the U.S. of approximately 400 subjects of national security concern, and the seizure of one firearm.

• The Counterterrorism and Criminal Exploitation Unit (CTCEU): Targets non-immigrants who are public safety or national security concerns and

who have violated their immigration status. CTCEU keeps these safety and security concerns from exploiting the legal United States immigration

system. In FY 2021, CTCEU has sent more than 2,300 leads to the field, resulting in 428 arrests (336 administrative and 92 criminal), 71

indictments, and 27 convictions of individuals who pose a threat to public safety or national security.

Homeland Security Investigations – PPA Domestic Investigations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 88

• The Human Rights Violators & War Crimes Unit (HRVWCU): Targets foreign war criminals and human rights abusers who seek shelter from

justice in the United States to ensure there is no safe haven for these violators. In FY 2021, HRVWCU’s Human Rights Target Tracking Team

(HRT3) lodged approximately 700 lookouts (approximately 78,200 since 2004) on known or suspected human rights violators. In FY 2021, and

because of all lookouts placed by the HRT3, HSI successfully prevented the entry of 21 human rights violators and/or war criminals into the

United States.

Counterproliferation Investigations: HSI is the only Federal agency with full statutory and regulatory authority to both investigate and enforce all

U.S. export laws, including those related to exports of military items, dual-use technology, controlled technical data, and the prevention of exports to

sanctioned and embargoed countries, entities, and individuals. HSI agents pursue leads referred by State and local law enforcement, private industry,

CBP officers, and other Federal partners. HSI also conducts outreach to industry and higher education. In FY 2021, HSI initiated more than 1,400

investigations related to counterproliferation. HSI continues to implement a state-of-the-art Counterproliferation Investigations Center in Huntsville,

AL, referred to as the HSI Exodus Command (EXCOM) – South. This facility will work in unison with Counterproliferation Investigations personnel

in Washington, D.C. (EXCOM – North) to serve as a Nation-wide focal point for supporting and enhancing the HSI Counterproliferation

Investigations throughout the Agency.

Goal 2: Protecting the Homeland against Illicit Trade, Travel, and Finance

To understand how HSI prevents the exploitation of the trade, travel, and financial systems of the United States, HSI's efforts can be grouped into

three major investigative areas: Illicit Trade, Illicit Travel, and Illicit Finance. In addition to these major areas, HSI devotes a small portion of its

funding to investigative support activities that enable HSI’s special agents to successfully conduct their investigations. The graph below shows the

allocation of Domestic Investigations’ total expenditures in the amount of $1,847.9M by investigative area in FY 2021:

Homeland Security Investigations – PPA Domestic Investigations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 89

Area #1: Illicit Trade: Illicit trade focuses on the flow of narcotics and other illicit or restricted goods entering and exiting the United States. This

includes cyber-enabled crime, child exploitation, commercial trade fraud, drug smuggling, illicit procurement and trans-shipment, technology

transfer, and falsely labeled commodities, particularly those that endanger public safety.

• Commercial (Trade) Fraud and Intellectual Property Rights Investigations: HSI is the lead Federal Agency investigating predatory and illegal

trade practices. Intellectual property and commercial fraud investigations address the theft of innovations and technology, and other violations of

U.S. trade laws, that can threaten U.S. economic stability, homeland security, and public health and safety. The HSI-led National Intellectual

Property Rights Coordination Center (IPR Center) brings together 27 partner agencies in a task force setting to effectively leverage the resources,

skills, and authorities of the partners and provide a comprehensive response to intellectual property theft. In FY 2021, HSI initiated

approximately 1,100 investigations of intellectual property theft or commercial fraud related to approximately $800M worth of seizures, an

increase from approximately 1,000 initiated investigations and $300M worth of seizures in FY 2020.

• Contraband Smuggling Investigations: HSI investigations focus on the cross-border movement of all illicit merchandise, including narcotics,

financial proceeds, and supply chains utilized by TCOs. HSI special agents have extensive knowledge of the border environments (maritime,

land, and air) and the techniques smuggling organizations employ to transport contraband into and out of the United States. HSI agents and

analysts utilize a myriad of intelligence, interdiction, and investigative resources to identify and interdict illicit contraband entering, exiting, and

transiting the United States. HSI is postured to quickly adapt to changing trends within contraband smuggling, evidenced recently by its ability to

address the shift in opioid smuggling from the parcel/express consignment realm to the SWB ports of entry, which now account for most of these

seizures. Specifically related to fentanyl, there were over 14,500 lbs. seized as of FY 2021, over twice the amount (approximately 6,100 lbs.)

seized in FY 2020.

• Interagency Task Forces: HSI leads and participates in a variety of inter-agency task forces, including 115 HSI-led Border Enforcement Security

Task Force (BEST) investigative groups at 80 locations throughout the United States, High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA),

Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF), Special Operations Unit, and Shadow Wolves, HSI-led tactical patrol units

operating on tribal lands in Southern Arizona. In FY 2021, HSI had nearly 3,400 Federal, State, tribal, local, and foreign task force officers

assigned within HSI-led investigative groups, which resulted in the seizure of nearly 24,000 lbs. of opioids, an increase from nearly 19,000 lbs.

seized in FY 2020.

Homeland Security Investigations – PPA Domestic Investigations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 90

• Child Exploitation Investigations: HSI funds at least $0.3M for promoting public awareness of the child pornography cyber tip line through a

cooperative agreement pursuant to 6 USC § 473. HSI Cyber Crimes Center (C3) Child Exploitation Investigations Unit (CEIU) investigates

producers and distributors of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), as well as individuals who travel abroad for the purpose of engaging in the

sexual abuse of minors, also known as transnational child sexual offenders (TCSO). C3 employs the latest technology to collect evidence and

track the activities of individuals and organized groups who sexually exploit children using the open internet, DarkNet, chat rooms, peer-to-peer

trading, and other App based platforms. C3 aids HSI field offices; coordinates major investigations; and conducts operations throughout the

world to identify and rescue victims of sexual abuse and exploitation and identify and apprehend the offenders. C3 delivers training to HSI

personnel as well as State, local, Federal, and international law enforcement partners. In FY 2021, HSI initiated nearly 5,400 investigations

related to child exploitation.

o Victim Identification Program (VIP): The HSI VIP combines traditional investigative techniques with cutting edge technology to identify and

rescue child victims of sexual exploitation, identify, and apprehend the offenders, and identify the location of abuse. In FY 2021, HSI rescued

over 1,100 victims of child sexual exploitation.

o Angel Watch Center (AWC): Initially created in 2007 as “Operation Angel Watch” and formally established in 2016 through International

Megan’s Law, the AWC is managed by the HSI as a joint effort with CBP and the U.S. Marshals Service. The AWC plays a crucial role in

the global fight against transnational child sexual abuse by targeting individuals who have been previously convicted of sexual crimes against

a child and may pose a potential new threat: traveling overseas for the purpose of sexually abusing or exploiting minors. Using flight data,

along with the National Sex Offender Registry and publicly available State sex offender websites, HSI and CBP identify and alert foreign law

enforcement, through HSI Attaché offices or CBP joint partnerships, of offenders pending arrival to their country. In FY 2021, the AWC

provided approximately 2,200 notifications to 155 countries regarding the travel of child sex offenders. These notifications resulted in

approximately 600 offenders denied entry and returned to the United States. The AWC also referred the passports of more than 1,100 child

sex offenders to the U.S. Department of State for a child sex offender endorsement.

o Human Exploitation Rescue Operative (HERO) Program: As a result of the Abolish Human Trafficking Act of 2017, passed December 21,

2018, HSI is charged with administering and overseeing the HERO Child Rescue Corp for all of DHS. The HERO program provides U.S.

veterans who have been injured, wounded, or are ill, with 52 weeks of paid computer forensic classroom instruction and on-the-job training at

an HSI office to support child exploitation investigations. At the end of the internship, successful interns may be hired as computer forensic

analysts for HSI. To date, HSI has hired over 129 HERO graduates into full time positions and currently retains over 80 percent of HERO

graduates hired.

Homeland Security Investigations – PPA Domestic Investigations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 91

• Human Trafficking Investigations: HSI’s human trafficking investigations mission is to proactively identify, disrupt, and dismantle human

trafficking organizations and minimize the risk they pose to national security and public safety. HSI achieves this by employing a victim-centered

approach whereby equal value is placed on the identification and assistance of victims, and on the deterrence, investigation, and prosecution of

traffickers. HSI provides expertise, leadership, and strategies to successfully combat human trafficking to law enforcement agencies at the local,

tribal, State, and Federal levels as well as to foreign law enforcement, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), victim service providers, and

private industry to protect victims, prosecute offenders, and prevent trafficking from occurring. In FY 2021, HSI initiated over 1,100 human

trafficking investigations resulting in over 2,300 criminal arrests. The DHS CCHT was formally established on October 20, 2020. HSI leads the

CCHT which brings together resources and expertise from 16 Components within DHS to combat human trafficking and the importation of goods

produced with forced labor.

• Cyber Investigations: Corporations, businesses, and the U.S. Government depend on the internet and IT systems to operate. The interconnectivity

of computers and information systems amplifies criminal activity, such as financial fraud, theft of digital intellectual property, child exploitation,

digital money laundering, and use of digital communication platforms to thwart law enforcement detection. The HSI C3 Cyber Crimes Unit

(CCU) oversees HSI's cyber-related investigations and focuses on TCOs that use cyber capabilities to further their criminal enterprise. C3

provides training, investigative support, guidance in emerging cyber technologies, and subject matter expertise. In FY 2021, HSI initiated nearly

1,000 cyber investigations resulting in nearly 500 criminal arrests, an increase from more than 800 cyber investigations and over 300 criminal

arrests in FY 2020. In FY 2021, approximately 38 percent of these investigations were related to cyber intrusions where threat actors sought

financial gain through ransomware, compromised point of sale systems, and selling unauthorized network access to U.S. organizations. The

remaining 62 percent were related to illicit darknet marketplaces offering the sale of illegal narcotics, illegal arms, and stolen personally

identifiable information.

o Operation Stolen Promise (OSP): In April 2020, HSI initiated Operation Stolen Promise 2.0 (OSP), to protect the Homeland from COVID-19

related fraud and criminal activity attempting to capitalize on public demand. In FY 2021, the C3 conducted analysis of over 85,000 websites,

criminally seized 22 websites, and disrupted over 53 websites in partnership with private industry.

• Computer Forensics: The foundation to the successes recorded in cyber investigations, child exploitation investigations, and many other HSI

programmatic areas relies heavily on finding the digital evidence that is necessary to successfully prosecute these crimes. This critical role

depends on HSI's pool of digital forensic examiners known as Computer Forensics Analysts (CFAs). C3 is primarily responsible for providing

training, equipment, and technical support for all CFAs. CFAs process the digital evidence in a forensically sound manner and conduct the

necessary analysis required to identify the elements that link the subjects of investigations to the digital footprints of the crime. C3 provides

evidence necessary to the success of multiple investigations in all HSI programmatic areas. A number of these cases involve bypassing device

encryption, a key problem which C3 is responsible for solving in many of these investigations.

o Operation Cyber Centurion (OCC): In March 2021, HSI established a proactive cyber disruption initiative called Operation Cyber Centurion

and disseminated 242 leads to field offices identifying cybersecurity vulnerabilities for critical infrastructure networks, and coordinated

responses to law enforcement agencies, education institutions, medical facilities, and municipalities. These efforts have led to nearly 100

cybercrime disruptions in FY 2021.

Homeland Security Investigations – PPA Domestic Investigations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 92

Area #2: Illicit Travel: Illicit travel focuses on the flow of individuals who cross the borders of the U.S. intending to exploit America’s immigration

system or workforce. Their criminal activities compromise U.S. national and border security.

• Human Smuggling: Human smuggling threatens national security by allowing undocumented noncitizens and/or persons seeking to harm the

United States or its interests to enter the country in violation of law. The Human Smuggling and Extraterritorial Unit (HSECTU) is responsible

for identifying, disrupting, and dismantling TCOs that engage in the illicit travel of undocumented individuals to the United States; including the

most prolific criminal travel networks and human smuggling organizations that pose significant threats to national security and public safety. In

FY 2021, HSI initiated more than more than 2,200 human smuggling investigations and completed over 4,200 arrests. In FY 2020, HSI initiated

more than 2,400 human smuggling investigations and completed over 3,700 arrests. The Extraterritorial Criminal Travel (ECT) Program,

managed by the HSECTU, incorporates analytical, targeting, and investigative methodologies to identify criminal travel networks that meet

certain criteria; specifically, networks and associated human smugglers, who primarily smuggle noncitizens who pose a threat to the national

security and public safety of the United States and its international partners. This methodology was designed to leverage the expertise of

investigative, analytical, and dedicated prosecutorial resources to identify the most prolific extraterritorial criminal travel networks and then

aggressively pursue those networks using law enforcement techniques, including extraterritorial undercover operations and domestic and foreign

prosecutions of the most significant human smugglers. ECT designated cases are provided with a dedicated trial attorney from the Human Rights

and Special Prosecution Unit at the Department of Justice, a dedicated Criminal Analyst assigned from the HSI Office of Intelligence, and

extensive support from the Intelligence Community. Joint Task Force Alpha (JTFA) is an Attorney General-mandated, joint effort between the

DOJ Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section and HSI’s HSECTU to specifically address transnational crime in and through El Salvador,

Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico. JTFA is aggressively investigating and prosecuting those who are smuggling and trafficking individuals into

the United States with a particular focus on individuals and networks who abuse, exploit, or endanger those being smuggled, pose national

security threats, or have links to transnational organized crime. The HSECTU participates in DHS Operation Sentinel, an initiative focused on the

targeting and disruption of criminal smuggling organizations in Mexico. National Program Managers and Criminal Analysts validate and

deconflict leads to generate new or augment existing HSI investigations. The HSU supports multiple INTERPOL international counter-smuggling

operations annually. During FY 2021, the HSECTU supported Operation Turquesa II and Operation Liberterra, both specifically focusing on

Transnational Criminal Organizations engaged in smuggling human beings on a global scale. The HSECTU, in support of Operation Red

Umbrella, is working to identify, disrupt, and dismantle human smuggling organization engaged in the smuggling of Chinese nationals to the U.S.

Area #3: Illicit Finance: Organized criminals transfer billions of dollars of illicit funds annually through the U.S. financial system to the detriment of

the United States and global economies. As the only investigative agency with both border search authority and access to trade data, HSI is uniquely

positioned to investigate financial crimes. Every criminal case that HSI investigates has a financial nexus and HSI financial crimes investigations

focus on the criminal proceeds that fund TCOs: bulk cash smuggling; illegal money services; trade-based money laundering; and other illicit financial

exploitation.

ICE – O&S - 93

• Financial Investigations: HSI works to disrupt and dismantle illicit financial activity, including money laundering and bulk cash smuggling.

TCOs manipulate legitimate banking, financial, and commercial trade systems to sustain and expand their operations. HSI recognizes that one of

the most effective ways to eliminate transnational crime is to cut off their sources of funding. HSI disrupts the financial activities of TCOs by

collaborating with the private sector, regulatory agencies, international organizations, and law enforcement partners to build their capacity to

identify and investigate complex financial crimes and money laundering. HSI leads the Cornerstone Outreach Program, which promotes

partnerships with private industry partners to detect and close weaknesses that criminal networks exploit within the U.S. financial, trade, and

transportation sectors. Since 2004, HSI has led the charge in combatting trade-based money laundering through global partnerships, formalized

within a coalition of 18 countries under the Trade Transparency Unit. In 2020, HSI began actively identifying and targeting fraud schemes

involving financial relief related to the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury

Disaster Loan (EIDL) loan programs, State unemployment insurance benefits programs, and distribution of consumer stimulus checks. HSI also

heads the Bulk Cash Smuggling Center (BCSC), an operational and investigative facility that provides real-time operational support to Federal,

State, tribal, and local officers involved in the enforcement and interdiction of bulk cash smuggling or transfer of illicit proceeds. In FY 2021,

HSI seized nearly $279M in bulk cash, an increase from the more than $177.8M in bulk cash seized in FY 2020. The following graph shows the

actual number of hours for each area in FY 2021, as well as the projected number of investigative hours HSI projects for each area in FY 2022

through FY 2023:

Goal 3: Preventing the Unlawful Exploitation of the Nation’s People by Violators of Immigration Laws

HSI, in coordination with CBP, enforces the borders and Ports of Entry (POEs) by apprehending noncitizens entering the country illegally. Within

the United States, HSI protects the integrity of the immigration system by targeting fraud and abuse that undermine the U.S. immigration laws. HSI

prioritizes the investigations of convicted criminal noncitizens and gang members.

• Enforcing Labor Exploitation Compliance: The employment of noncitizens violates both the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and criminal

law and facilitates a host of other crimes including human smuggling, document fraud, identity theft, money laundering, and labor violations. The

Document, Benefit, and Labor Exploitation Unit (DBLEU) oversees strategies to prevent the exploitation of undocumented individuals through

unauthorized employment. HSI works to protect the public from crimes of victimization and exploitation, strategically targeting and investigating

individuals, businesses, and networks that engage in labor exploitation, including human trafficking and forced labor. Prioritization is placed on

the identification and prosecution of employers who earn their profits on the backs of individuals they believe have no voice and no opportunity

to secure lawful employment. This unit creates a culture of business compliance through criminal arrests of employers, the administrative arrest

of employees, suspension and debarment of companies exploiting employees, where applicable, compliance of the I-9 Employment Eligibility

Verification Form, and the ICE Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) program. Cases involving national security or

public safety concerns and allegations of egregious worker exploitation receive high priority. By focusing on these priorities, DBLEU targets

suspect employers and provides field units with the necessary investigative tools to combat these types of crimes.

• Protecting the Public from Transnational Gang Members: The National Gangs and Violent Crime Unit (NGVCU) develops and implements anti-

gang initiatives focused on violent criminal activities and crimes with a nexus to the border. HSI conducts organizational investigations under the

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and the Violent Crimes in Aid of Racketeering statute. In FY 2021, there were more than

800 gang cases initiated and nearly 3,600 arrests. In FY 2020, there were more than 700 gang cases initiated and nearly 3,700 arrests. In FY 2021,

NGVCU initiated Operation CENTAM/Northern Triangle Initiative by deploying HSI special agents to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

The mission of this initiative is to assist with targeting MS-13 gang members, as well as other Northern Triangle-based TCOS operating in the

U.S. and assist with the development and furthering OCDETF investigations across CONUS and in the respective Northern Triangle countries.

• Preventing Document and Benefit Fraud: Identity and benefit fraud threatens homeland security and public safety by creating a vulnerability that

may enable terrorists, criminals, and noncitizens to circumvent border controls, gain entry, and remain in the United States. HSI leads Document

and Benefit Fraud Task Forces (DBFTFs) across the country that collaboratively deter, disrupt, and dismantle TCOs involved in identity and

benefit fraud. The DBFTFs are currently investigating new fraud schemes which combine aspects of traditional immigration related fraud with

the COVID-19 Relief Program fraud component. Field offices have seen a rise in document fraud and believe certain relief programs such as

Unemployment Insurance (UI) are potential reasons for the increase. The HSI Forensic Laboratory is a unique resource supporting efforts to

combat document fraud in all programmatic areas. Through the National Lead Development Center (NLDC) as well as the numerous existing

DBFTFs, HSI collaborates with USCIS to investigate leads arising from fraudulent immigration benefits applications. In FY 2021, HSI made

nearly 900 arrests for identity and benefit fraud. In FY 2020, HSI made more than 1,300 arrests for identity and benefit fraud.

Key Issues

The Key Issues section highlights priority issues facing HSI and outlines how HSI plans to combat these issues in FY 2023.

Key FY 2023 Issue #1: Cyber Technology

In FY 2021, HSI initiated nearly 1,000 cyber investigations, more than 300 network intrusion cases, and nearly 5,400 child exploitation

investigations. HSI made more than 3,700 arrests for crimes involving the sexual exploitation of children and identified and/or rescued more than

1,100 minor victims. The FY 2021 numbers are an increase in overall operations from the FY 2020 numbers. In FY 2020, HSI initiated over 800

cyber investigations, more than 200 network intrusion cases, and over 5,300 child exploitation investigations. HSI made more than 3,000 arrests for

crimes involving the sexual exploitation of children and identified and/or rescued more than 1,000 minor victims.

As the lead Agency to combat financial and trans-border cybercrimes, HSI has seen a significant increase in the number of criminal investigations

conducted through its efforts to combat cybercrime. In fact, from FY 2017 – FY 2021, HSI reported that the number of cyber investigations increased

from approximately 500 to nearly 1,000, a 98 percent increase.

Currently, HSI uses covert computer networks, applications, and tools to assist in the detection, disruption, investigation, and prosecution of

individuals and TCOs that exploit the Internet for criminal activities. HSI plans to expand its’ HSI Network Intrusion Program by focusing on

capabilities to detect, prevent, disrupt, and investigate malicious cyber activity perpetrated by criminal actors, including state and non-state actors

using network infrastructure in the United States and abroad. HSI plans to acquire new and emerging technologies to gather and analyze digital

evidence; utilize cutting edge technology to identify and rescue victims of child exploitation and identify offenders; expand the HSI Dark Web

Investigations Platform; and support HSI cybercrimes investigations through the hiring of additional Cyber Operations Officers (COOs). HSI plans to

expand the size of its digital forensic examiners, increase the breadth of training provided IT Cybersecurity Specialists, and enhance the scope of the

equipment provided to ensure the agency is uniquely positioned to face future challenges.

In FY 2022, HSI seeks to maximize investigative resources to effectively secure the Nation from sophisticated malicious actors; provide increased

training and capacity building; enhance international collaboration with key law enforcement partners; increase the availability of software,

hardware, and other technology-based tools; and develop cutting-edge capabilities

Key FY 2023 Issue #2: Innovation and Optimizing Operational Support

HSI's continued success in disrupting and dismantling transnational criminal organizations is due in part to the investigative support systems that

enable agents and analysts to further analyze and enrich the investigative information developed within their individual investigations with the vast

amount of investigative data contained within HSI’s investigative holdings.

Homeland Security Investigations – PPA Domestic Investigations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 96

The Repository for Analytics in Virtualized Environment (RAVEn) is a Big Data analytics platform designed and purpose built by the HSI

Innovation Lab, which will serve as the central investigative platform and analytics engine for all HSI investigations. RAVEn utilizes best in class

open-source technology, leverages the latest in data management technologies, and applies a flexible development philosophy that can quickly adapt

to the ever-changing landscape encountered when combating complex criminal organizations. Utilizing a graph-centric approach, RAVEn is

designed specifically to help agents and analysts make valuable insights, observations, and connections within their criminal investigations which

may otherwise remain obscured.

RAVEn tools are developed with a modular approach so they can be rapidly deployed to solve specific time-sensitive and field-driven problems,

while at the same time being able to integrate into the RAVEn technology stack for future deployment to all HSI. The HSI Innovation Lab tackles

these problems by using a small team concept whereby the teams are comprised of highly skilled contract developers and computer scientists lead by

seasoned HSI agents and analysts. These teams are tasked with tackling problems faced by the field that have a significant or widespread impact on

real-world law enforcement operations. The HSI Innovation Lab’s ultimate objective is to decrease time to action and increase effectiveness while

reducing overall cost and avoiding duplication of efforts. The HSI Innovation Lab successfully piloted a machine translation capability with five HSI

field offices that demonstrated a cost avoidance of $10M to $37M depending on the original language, when compared to traditional translation

services.

Key FY 2023 Issue #3: The Opioid Crisis

In FY 2021, HSI seized over 23,600 lbs. of opioids, which includes over 14,500 lbs. of fentanyl. The opioids seized in FY 2021 surpassed the FY

2020 total of nearly 18,800 lbs. The fentanyl seized in FY 2021 more than doubled the 6,100 lbs. seized in FY 2020. HSI has established a three-

pronged approach to combating opioids: international partnerships, law enforcement collaboration, and undercover online operations. HSI is at the

forefront of cyber investigations combating online marketplaces and performs an essential role in detecting, investigating, and preventing the sale and

distribution of opioids through the internet. With increased capabilities, cyber analytics, trained cyber investigators and analysts, HSI conducts online

undercover investigations targeting market operators, vendors and prolific buyers of fentanyl and other illicit opioids within their primary

marketplace, the dark web. HSI's C3 provides increased capabilities, cyber analytics, and advanced training to law enforcement partners conducting

cyber investigations that target darknet illicit marketplaces where fentanyl and chemical precursors are often sold. Since October 2017, HSI has

delivered this training course in over 70 locations worldwide to more than 16,000 State, local, Federal, and international law enforcement personnel.

In addition to HSI C3, HSI BESTs are the primary platform for investigating opioid smuggling as BESTs eliminate barriers between Federal and

local investigators by providing access to both Federal and State prosecutors, closing the gap with international partners in multinational criminal

investigations, and creating an environment that minimizes the vulnerabilities that TCOs have traditionally exploited at our Nation’s land and sea

borders. In FY 2021, HSI operated BESTs in 80 locations throughout the United States. BESTs target opioid smuggling by leveraging the

participation of more than 3,400 Federal, Tribal, State, local, and foreign law enforcement agents (LEAs) and officers representing over 200 LEAs.

Along the SWB, HSI expends a significant percentage of non-discretionary criminal investigative work hours and generates thousands of

investigations in support of CBP enforcement efforts. SWB drug-related cases from CBP represent 86 percent of HSI’s total SWB non-discretionary.

Homeland Security Investigations – PPA Domestic Investigations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 97

In FY 2021, HSI performed approximately 458,500 hours of case work based on non-discretionary CBP inspection and port operations-sourced cases

on the SWB.

HSI’s intellectual property unit leverages its relationship with the pharmaceutical industry to obtain actionable intelligence used to target the

trafficking of counterfeit pharmaceuticals. The intellectual property unit concentrates on the investigations of copyright and trademark violations, but

it is reasonable to believe that counterfeit pharmaceuticals may at times contain opioids. Agents assigned to the National Cyber-Forensics and

Training Alliance work with brand protection representatives to further develop investigative leads for HSI field offices.

The Bulk Cash Smuggling Center (BCSC) has developed a Cryptocurrency Intelligence Program (CIP) which identifies unlicensed money services

businesses in the form of independent cryptocurrency brokers’ use of peer-to-peer (P2P) sites, online forums, and classified advertisements, and

darknet markets (DNM) to engage in unlicensed money services businesses (MSB) activity. A large portion of these unlicensed MSBs is engaged in

laundering narcotics proceeds, including opioid trafficking.

Key FY 2023 Issue #4: Financial Crimes

HSI is uniquely positioned to investigate financial crimes as it is the only investigative agency that has border search authority and exclusive access

to trade data. In FY 2021, HSI initiated approximately 4,900 financial cases and seized over $459M of illicit funds from criminal organizations.

Additionally, in FY 2021, there were nearly 2,200 criminal arrests, more than 1,400 indictments, more than 700 convictions related to financial

investigations, and seizures of $76M in virtual currency.

As such, HSI established the HSI Financial Crimes Unit (FCU). Charged with the oversight of all HSI financial investigations worldwide, the FCU is

HSI’s second largest program area. HSI special agents spend over a million investigative case hours a year on illicit financial investigations, many of

which focus exclusively on cross border financial crimes. The FCU provides field offices with investigative support, funding support, and

programmatic oversight focused on identifying the means and methods used by TCOs to move, launder, and conceal illicit proceeds. FCU works with

domestic and foreign law enforcement, regulatory agencies, and non-governmental organizations to enhance cooperation and improve efforts to

target illicit financial activity throughout the world.

Homeland Security Investigations – PPA Domestic Investigations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 98

Through the FCU, HSI partners with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Financial Action Task Force (FATF), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)

Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section, DOJ Consumer Protection Branch (CPB), Bank Secrecy Act Advisory Group, and Five Eyes Law

Enforcement Group (FELEG) to provide Anti-Money Laundering (AML) assessments, training, best practices, and lessons learned in the fight

against global money laundering. The FCU also supports HSI-wide financial crime investigations through such programs as the Third-Party Money

Laundering (3PML) Program, the Cornerstone Program, Cyber Financial, International Corruption, Organized Retail Crime (ORC), and Elder and

COVID-19 Fraud Investigations. These programs create a collaborative approach to the disruption and dismantling of terrorism and criminal

organizations through partnerships with business and financial entities to prevent and identify financial exploitations; identifying areas of virtual

currency exploitations; and targeting professional money launderers. Through the Cyber Financial Section, FCU assists domestic and international

offices with investigations and training into the exploitation of virtual currency and digital payment platforms that have a nexus to all of HSI’s

priorities. Currently, FCU manages the 3PML program which currently supports 162 HSI investigations. Establishing dedicated support of non-

3PML cases, through the Financial Intake Team (FIT) and financial analytical software BankScan and ScanWriter, will increase and lead to more

arrests, seizures, convictions, and overall support to the field.

PPA Level II Description

The International Operations (IO) PPA Level II supports global investigative and law enforcement activities that target transnational criminal

organizations (TCOs) which engage in human trafficking, narcotics, money laundering, firearms, and sensitive technologies, and the sexual

exploitation of children, including child sex tourism. It also supports the Department of State (DOS) in identifying individuals of concern who are

attempting to obtain a U.S. visa and partners with foreign law enforcement to address crimes where the U.S. does not have jurisdiction. It does this

through two major programs: International Investigations and the Visa Security Program (VSP). Funding for IO enables International Operations

fields personnel in 81 locations, including nine Department of Defense (DOD) Liaison Offices, in 53 countries, as well as within the United

States, to conduct law enforcement activities and provide investigative support to domestic offices combating transnational crime. IO also conducts

international law enforcement operations and removals from the United States with foreign and domestic partners to promote good working

relationships and greater national and international security. Through the VSP, IO assigns Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents to

diplomatic posts worldwide to conduct visa security activities and train Department of State (DOS) officers regarding threats and trends affecting

visa adjudication.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers

Criminal Investigators (CIs): HSI IO CIs conduct international law enforcement operations and removals from the United States with foreign and

domestic partners. ICE is not requesting additional CIs in FY 2023. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due to the 2023 Pay Raise, the

Annualization of the 2022 Pay Raise, and the Annualization of FY 2022 FTE. The increase in FTE rate is due to greater cost of international

operations relative to domestic operations.

Non-LEOs: Non-LEOs provide logistical support to special agents and their families in about 50 countries worldwide. ICE is not requesting

additional Non-LEOs in FY 2023. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due to the 2023 Pay Raise, the Annualization of the 2022 Pay Raise, and

the Annualization of FY 2022 FTE. The increase in FTE rate is due to the greater cost of international operations relative to domestic operations.

Department of State Charges: The Bureau of Overseas Building Operations assesses ICE its share of the cost of providing secure, safe, and

functional facilities at U.S. embassies and consulates abroad. The increase in FY 2023 is associated with the increase in ICASS costs.

Housing Rent: U.S. citizen employees assigned to U.S. missions abroad may be provided housing in U.S. Government-owned or leased properties.

The decrease is driven by FY 2023 Program Changes.

Permanent Change of Station: Permanent Change of Station (PCS) includes the costs associated with relocating U.S. citizen employees assigned to

U.S. missions abroad. Funding was maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Other Costs: Other costs include GE associated with International Investigations positions including furniture, uniforms, phones, O&M for vehicles.

Funding was maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Budget Activities

IO special agents investigate leads provided by HSI Domestic Operations and foreign counterparts, expanding HSI’s investigative reach

internationally. The graphic below displays IO’s global footprint:

The HSI IO workforce includes special agents, ERO deportation officers, analysts, and support staff stationed around the world. This international

workforce, which is DHS’s largest investigative presence abroad, provides DHS with one of the largest international footprints in U.S. law

enforcement. Utilizing its broad legal authority to enforce Federal statutes, IO partners with foreign LEAs to expand HSI’s investigative reach,

targeting and dismantling drug smugglers, gangs, and other TCOs outside of the United States. By disrupting international TCOs and assisting the

law enforcement capacity of foreign partners, IO prevents transnational illicit activity from reaching the United States.

Homeland Security Investigations – PPA International Operations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 106

IO personnel fuse criminal intelligence with foreign partner information to facilitate joint operations against common threats. To accomplish this

mission, IO deploys the following programs:

Biometric Identification Transnational Migration Alert Program (BITMAP): Through BITMAP, HSI leverages the unique expertise of U.S. law

enforcement agencies partnering with foreign counterparts to pursue domestic and foreign transnational criminal investigations. BITMAP is a host-

country-led initiative in which HSI trains and equips foreign counterparts to conduct tactically targeted collection of biometric and biographic data on

suspect individuals via mobile biometric collection devices. Foreign partners share this data with HSI who then screen the data prior to its entry into

U.S. Government databases, which include holdings from DOD, FBI, and DHS. In FY 2021, BITMAP was operational in 17 countries around the

world.

Transnational Criminal Investigative Units (TCIUs): TCIUs, currently operating in 14 countries, are bilateral, multidisciplinary investigative units

led by HSI with foreign law enforcement membership. TCIUs serve as force multipliers, facilitating information exchange and rapid bilateral

investigations. They enhance cooperation between HSI and host governments to identify, disrupt, and dismantle criminal enterprises that threaten

regional stability and U.S. national security.

Cultural Property, Arts, and Antiquities Program: This national investigative program targets illicit trade in cultural property from around the

world. Through the program, HSI supports investigations, repatriates stolen and looted objects to their rightful owners, and trains law enforcement

officers (LEOs), including HSI special agents, customs officers, prosecutors, and international partners, in handling and investigative techniques

related to cultural property. Since FY 2007, the program has returned more than 15,000 artifacts and objects to over 40 countries and rightful owners

and has trained more than 400 individuals in law enforcement.

Visa Security Program (VSP): The VSP assigns special agents to diplomatic posts across the globe to investigate and disrupt suspect travelers

during the visa application process. The program serves as ICE’s front line against terrorist and other criminal organizations seeking to gain entry to

the United States. While other security efforts primarily focus on screening names against lists of known terrorist or criminal suspects, the VSP

leverages HSI’s investigative capabilities during the visa application process to identify threats before they reach the United States. Through VSP,

deployed special agents utilize advanced analysis, interviews at post, and liaisons with host and domestic partners to identify and prevent the travel of

suspect visa applicants. Deployed special agents also train DOS Consular Affairs staff regarding threats and trends affecting visa adjudication.

Through the Pre‐Adjudicated Threat Recognition and Intelligence Operations Team (PATRIOT), administered by the HSI National Security

Division (NSD), the VSP automated the screening of 100 percent of Non-Immigrant Visa applications at VSP posts prior to DOS adjudication.

PATRIOT analysts then manually vet suspect visa applicants identified through the automated screening and provide deployed HSI special agents

with relevant information prior to conducting interviews and other investigative activities overseas. The VSP is a counterterrorism tool that

investigates and disrupts the travel of illicit actors and mitigates threats posed by transnational terrorist and other criminal networks.

VSP operations are currently conducted at 41 visa-issuing posts in 28 countries.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers

Non-LEOs: Non-LEO investigative support staff, such as Intelligence Research Specialists (IRSs), offer cost-effective, force-multiplying support to

special agents without requiring the same high level of expertise or training. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due to additional hiring in FY

2023 Program Changes and FY 2023 Pricing Changes, including the 2023 Pay Raise, the Annualization of the 2022 Pay Raise, and the Annualization

of FY 2022 FTE.

Criminal Investigators (CIs): HSI Intelligence CIs collect, analyze, and share intelligence on illicit trade, travel, and financial activity. Other HSI

CIs, along with DHS and intelligence community partners, use this intelligence to counter threats to public safety and national security. The increase

from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due to the 2023 Pay Raise and the Annualization of the 2022 Pay Raise.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers

Intelligence Systems: Intelligence Systems costs directly support Intelligence efforts (e.g., Falcon, Big Data Environment [BDE], CBP Analytical

Framework for Intelligence [AFI], etc.). Funding was maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Classified Connectivity: Classified Connectivity costs support deployment of SECRET and TS/SCI systems across the Agency. Funding was

maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Contract Support: Contract Support provides funds for HSI Intelligence field offices and headquarters activities (e.g., Intelligence Research

Specialist [IRS] Career Path Development/Support, data analysis support from the DOD Joint Improvised Defeat Organization, etc.). Funding was

maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Other Costs: Other costs include GE associated with new positions including furniture, uniforms, and O&M for vehicles. Funding was maintained

from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Homeland Security Investigations – PPA Intelligence – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 113

Budget Activities

HSI Intelligence activities include field-level investigative case support (criminal analysis) from nearly 900 Criminal Analysts (CA). CAs further and

drive investigations through criminal network linkages, interviews, database checks, telephone/call data record analysis, and other criminal analysis

activities. These activities are critical to a successful investigation, but do not always require the expertise of a highly trained Special Agent. CAs

enable Special Agents to focus on the core law enforcement functions of an investigation. The mission-specific training and capabilities of CAs are a

force multiplier for HSI field offices. In FY 2021, CAs directly supported approximately 16 percent of all HSI investigative cases, which accounted

for a disproportionate 37 percent of all Agency-wide criminal arrests. Analyses of investigative workload and outcome data show that criminal

arrests are almost twice as likely in cases that receive CA investigative support than in cases that do not. Also, Significant Case Investigations with

CA support are more than twice as likely to achieve an arrest and attain approximately twice as many indictments per case as those without CA

support.

In addition to CAs, the Intelligence Level II PPA funds the following organizational units:

Intelligence Integration and Emergency Management Operations Division (IIEMOD)

IIEMOD is a multi-unit division involved in all aspects of the ICE mission. IIEMOD has the responsibility of ensuring the Agency is prepared for all

forms of significant events and emergency situations and can always maintain continuity of operations. The Emergency Management Unit serves as

the Agency’s focal point for executing all aspects of continuity of operations through proper planning, training, and exercising, but also serves as the

agency lead for crisis management during emerging events and maintains critical communications with leadership and external stakeholders.

Both the Joint Intelligence Operations Center (JIOC) and the HSI Tip Line serve key support functions for the agency’s 24/7 investigative and

enforcement missions. The JIOC Watch Operation receives, coordinates, and disseminates classified and unclassified information and facilitates the

exchange of law enforcement and national intelligence between ICE Directorates, headquarters and field leadership, and the Department. The HSI

Tip Line serves as the public tip intake center within DHS that receives, analyzes, documents, and disseminates investigative leads that apply to the

more than 400 Federal statues under the ICE mission and authorities.

Collections Division (CD)

CD is responsible for collecting and sharing information of intelligence value, leveraging U.S. government resources to fill information gaps, in

support of criminal investigations and criminal investigative priorities, protecting the agency from threats, and conducting maritime-focused law

enforcement technical collection activities. To execute the aforementioned tasks, CD reduces strategic surprise and provides support to operations

by identifying and closing our Agency’s information gaps; the congressionally mandated reporting of ICE-origin intelligence; counterintelligence

and protective intelligence awareness, education, reporting, and referral services; and sophisticated technical collection activities in support of

maritime counter-narcotics efforts.

Homeland Security Investigations – PPA Intelligence – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 114

CD serves as the official bridge between ICE and the Intelligence Community. CD also provides guidance, oversight, and protection to ICE

personnel who consume, collect, or report intelligence information. CD is also the home of integrated HSI and ERO intelligence efforts, geared

toward mutual operational and enforcement support. CD is comprised of the Protective Intelligence and Reports Officer Unit, the Technical

Collection and Requirements Unit, and the Combined Intelligence Unit.

Criminal Analysis & Production Division (CAPD)

CAPD’s mission is to consistently produce timely, comprehensive, and accurate criminal analysis that enables criminal investigators to identify,

prioritize, disrupt, and dismantle terrorist, transnational, and other criminal organizations that threaten or seek to exploit the customs and

immigration laws of the United States. CAPD is aligned to corresponding HSI investigative programs to facilitate streamlined and efficient support.

CAPD consists of the Counter Transnational Organized Crime Intelligence Unit 1 (corresponding to HSI CTOC1), the Counter Transnational

Organized Crime Intelligence Unit 2 (corresponding to HSI CTOC2), the Global Trade & Cyber Intelligence Unit (corresponding to HSI GTD and

C3), the International Intelligence Unit (corresponding to HSI International Operations), and the Major Case Intelligence Unit (corresponding to

HSI Domestic Operations’ HOMECORT and Tier 1 investigations).

Enterprise Services Division (ESD)

ESD leads HSI's Office of Intelligence’s programmatic planning and engagement efforts with HSI field offices, Investigative Programs, DHS

Intelligence Enterprise, and other key stakeholders. ESD has the responsibility of recruiting, hiring, and executing the training and career

development for the Intelligence Enterprise to include the Homeland Security Investigations Criminal Analyst Training (HSICAT). Additionally, the

Division provides ICE with critical classified connectivity efforts and leads the effort in implementing criminal analyst analytical tools and

technology innovation. The Division’s foundation is embedded in the Framework for Criminal Analysis.

PPA Level I Description

Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) enforces the Nation’s

immigration laws by identifying and apprehending removable

noncitizens, detaining apprehended individuals when necessary, and

removing them from the United States in a manner consistent with legal

processes and procedures. ERO carries out its mission through a range

of programs and activities that focus on identifying and prioritizing the

removal of noncitizens who pose a threat to national security,

noncitizens who pose a threat to border security, and noncitizens who

pose a threat to public safety.

ERO operates in a dynamic and shifting immigration landscape. As

such, ERO works with other DHS Components, States, counties, and

localities across the United States to uphold U.S. immigration laws at,

within, and beyond the borders through efficient enforcement and

removal operations.

Operations and Support Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA

ICE – O&S - 116

This PPA contains the following Level II PPAs:

Custody Operations: Custody Operations oversees the immigration detention system and manages the cases of detainees undergoing proceedings

and, if applicable, removal.

Fugitive Operations: Fugitive Operations identifies, locates, and arrests removable noncitizens present in the United States.

Criminal Apprehension Program (CAP): CAP apprehends and removes criminal noncitizens who are at-large or incarcerated within Federal,

State, and local prisons and jails.

Alternatives to Detention (ATD): ATD supervises certain individuals using a combination of home and office visits, alert response, court tracking,

and monitoring technology as an alternative to detention, allowing participating individuals to remain in their communities while their cases are

processed.

Transportation and Removal Program (TRP): TRP coordinates the safe and secure transportation of noncitizens who either are subject to final

orders of removal or require custodial transfer within the United States, which may ultimately include transportation to the noncitizen’s final

destination if ICE determines in its discretion that such transportation is necessary.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers

Detention and Deportation Officers (DDOs): Custody Operations manages the immigration detention system. DDOs focus primarily on detention

bed space and detainee management. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due to FY 2023 Pricing Changes, including the 2023 Pay Raise and

the Annualization of the 2022 Pay Raise.

Non-LEOs: Non-LEOs assist with supporting activities for the Custody and Resource Coordination program and ICE Health Services Corps such as

the coordination of supplies, equipment, healthcare, food, and clothing for detainees. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due to hiring of

additional Non-LEOs and FY 2023 Pricing Changes, including the 2023 Pay Raise, the Annualization of the 2022 Pay Raise, and the Annualization

of FY 2022 FTE.

Other PC&B Costs: Personnel, Compensation, and Benefits costs for ERO Deportation Officers include Special Personal Services Payments. This

increase is due to additional hiring in programs such as Investment in Facility Standard Compliance, IT Investment for Fear Screening/Visitation, and

ICE Health Service Corps.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers

Contracts - Detention Beds / Guards / Noncitizen Welfare (Adult): FY 2023 funding was derived from an ADP of 23,010 adult detention beds at

a rate of $148.62 (the Beds/Guards and other direct cost portions of the bed rate) multiplied by 365. The remaining 1,990 adult detention beds are fee

funded. The decrease in FY 2023 is associated with the 5,000 Adult ADP reduction.

Contracts - Detainee Healthcare Services (Adult): FY 2023 funding was derived from an ADP of 23,010 adult detention beds at a rate of $148.62

(the Beds/Guards and other direct cost portions of the bed rate) multiplied by 365. The remaining 1,990 adult detention beds are fee funded. The

decrease in FY 2023 is associated with the updated methodology used to identify bed rate costs.

Contracts - Detention Beds / Guards / Noncitizen Welfare (Family): ICE previously had three FRCs where housing, medical, educational, and

recreational services are provided for families with children. During calendar year 2021 these three locations transitioned to housing adult

populations. The FY 2023 decrease in funding was derived from FFP contracts for the FRCs. The decrease in FY 2023 is associated with the

retirement of the 3 FRCs.

Other Costs: Other Costs include non-bed GE and one-time charges (i.e., furniture, uniforms, phones, O&M for vehicles) to hire additional Law

Enforcement Officers per FY 2023 enhancements. The increase is associated with FY 2023 Program Changes.

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Custody Operations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 131

Budget Activities

Custody Operations funding comprises three major components: payroll, which supports 5,341 law enforcement and non-law enforcement personnel;

detention bed funding, which supports ICE’s detention network, including detention guards, healthcare, food, and clothing; and non-bed general

expenses (GE), which cover overhead items, such as supplies, travel, training, and equipment, that enable mission success.

A primary focus of Custody Operations is detention bed space management, which accounts for approximately 57 percent of total costs. DHS

guidance requires personnel to take enforcement actions in accordance with applicable law. Such actions include the lawful detention, pending a final

determination of removal, of noncitizens who arrive in the United States and are deemed inadmissible as described in section 235(b) of the

Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Detention prevents such noncitizens from committing crimes if otherwise at-large in the United States,

ensures that noncitizens will appear for their removal proceedings, and substantially increases the likelihood that noncitizens lawfully ordered

removed will be removed.

Bed Rate Methodology:

The cost of detention varies for each individual based on criminal status, facility type, length of detention stay, and geographic region. ICE utilizes an

analytical model which projects the average daily cost for adult beds based on direct costs, including bed and guard costs, detainee healthcare costs,

and other direct costs. ICE calculates the custody requirement by multiplying the projected ADP by the average daily bed rate and the number of

days in the year.

Adult Beds:

In FY 2023, ICE projects that the average daily rate for direct costs will total $148.62 for adult beds. Consistent with OMB Circular A-87, ICE

defines direct costs as costs directly attributable to a noncitizen in ICE custody. Direct costs include detention bed/guard contracts, healthcare, and

other costs directly tied to implementing the detention program. Examples of other direct costs include welfare (clothing and other materials),

provisions (food, beverages, and cooking materials), detainee pay, telecommunications services, utilities, operation and maintenance of facilities,

supplies, equipment, postage, and miscellaneous contractual services such as inspection contracts. As shown in the table below, the overall bed rate

in FY 2023 is projected to increase as a result of the 5-year regression analysis. The projected Health Care and Other Direct costs are projected using

historical actuals from FY 2015 to FY 2019 that follows the overall trend and accounts for year-to-year volatility.

Family Residential Center Beds:

FFP contracts are used for detention beds, guard services, and healthcare at ICE’s three FRCs located in South Texas, Karnes County, TX and Berks

County, PA. Since these contracts are fixed price, costs do not vary with the number of family unit detainees. The total cost reduction of $271.1M in

FY 2023 will retire these FRC contracts for family beds, eliminating Family ADP. The table below shows the break-out of these costs.

ICE – O&S - 135

Detention Capacity Utilization:

ICE’s current classification system requires that detainees be protected from harm through the assignment of housing with individuals of similar

background and criminal history. This classification system ensures the safe and orderly operation of detention facilities and protects staff and

detainees from harm. Filling every available bed in a detention facility would necessitate housing detainees of varied threat levels together, posing

serious safety concerns for detainees, officers, staff, and facility owners. ICE consequently maintains a target utilization rate of about 85 to 90 percent

of total facility capacity, including 100 percent usage of all guaranteed-minimum (GM) beds. However, during FY 2020 and FY 2021, the effects of

COVID-19 on ICE operations and the immigration landscape have greatly decreased bed utilization across all the ERO detention portfolio. This

target utilization also allows for flexibility to respond to emergencies or other unforeseen circumstances that might require immediate availability of

detention beds (e.g., charter flight cancellations, surges, or smuggling loads). ICE will always make safety and security the primary operational

concern at all facilities, including GM facilities.

As the following graph demonstrates, COVID-19 and subsequent new enforcement priorities has impacted detention levels in FY 2021. ICE’s FY

2022 funding maintains ICE’s ability to effectively manage fluctuations in its detainee population within current enforcement guidelines.

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Custody Operations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 136

Detention Capacity Requirements:

As shown in the following graph, ICE intake was a factor of approximately three times CBP intake by the end of FY 2020, but by the end of FY 2021

CBP’s intake is nearly six times that of ICE’s. Both ICE and CBP intake metrics can be volatile and is sensitive to geopolitical events, environmental

factors, and policy decisions beyond either Agency’s control. Given this uncertainty, a continuing requirement exists for a sustained investment in

detention capacity. ICE’s FY 2022 ADP estimate may change due to the difficulty of projecting ADP related to CBP intake nearly two years in

advance.

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Custody Operations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 137

Custody Operations anticipates the following developments to impact detention capacity and funding requirements in FY 2023:

Population and Migration Fluctuations and Interior Enforcement Activity: Migration patterns vary depending on political and economic trends in

foreign countries, particularly those in the Southern Hemisphere. In FY 2021, CBP SWB Encounters reached 1,734,686, an increase of 279 percent

from the FY 2020 level of 458,088. Furthermore, ICE arrests in FY 2020 totaled 103,603, charging document issuances totaled 78,816, and ICE

detainers totaled 122,233. In FY 2021, ICE interior enforcement efforts were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and revisions to ERO’s

enforcement priorities. Accordingly, arrests, charging documents, and detainers were down with current totals at 74,082, 74,872, and 65,940

respectively. In FY 2023, ICE will continue to address immigration enforcement areas of priority, including migrant surges, and allocate law

enforcement resources as efficiently as possible within current enforcement guidelines.

Probation and Parole: In compliance with departmental guidance, ICE has taken a more aggressive posture on parole, placing the burden on

noncitizens to prove they are not flight risks or dangers to the community before being released on parole. By better screening and vetting of

potential parolee candidates, probation and parole arrests totaled 2,290 in FY 2019. In FY 2020 probation and parole arrests totaled 1,256, a decrease

of 45 percent from FY 2019 levels. In FY 2021, there were 724 probation and parole arrests and 686 criminal convictions, an increase of 11 percent

from FY 2020 levels.

Detaining Criminal Noncitizens: ICE will prioritize detention and removal based on the noncitizen threat to national security, border security, and

public safety, based on the Civil Immigration Enforcement and Removal Priorities guidance. In FY 2021, ICE removed 39,149 criminal noncitizens,

a 62 percent decrease from FY 2020 criminal noncitizen removal figure of 103,762.

Average Length of Stay (ALOS): In FY 2021, the ICE ALOS was 43.1days, a decrease of 32.1 percent from FY 2020 levels, but an increase of 25.7

percent above FY 2019 levels. The overall ALOS varies due to the mix of outcomes from border encounters and interior enforcement activities, and

the proportion of cases that result from each. CBP-encountered cases generally have lower lengths of stay due to expedited removals and decreased

instances of cases requiring a hearing, whereas interior criminal cases are typically more complicated and many are not subject to expedited removal.

Central American Population: Immigrants from countries other than Mexico spend more time in the detention system compared to arrivals from

Mexico due to their claims for protection, which require more time to adjudicate. In FY 2021, the Mexican ALOS was 35.6 days compared to 70.4,

61.2, and 42.5 days for El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras respectively. Travel documents required for removal also take longer to acquire from

these countries than they do from Mexico. To address this, the Electronic Nationality Verification Program (ENV) was significantly expanded in July

2019 and is designed to return nationals of the participating countries in an expeditious manner by verifying the nationality electronically versus the

traditional manner of having a travel document issued by a consular official. Currently, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras (Northern Triangle

Countries) are active participating nations.

ICE Health Service Corps (IHSC)

IHSC provides the safe delivery of high-quality health care to those in ICE custody. In FY 2021, IHSC provided direct care to detainees housed at 21

designated facilities throughout the Nation, to include medical, dental, mental health care, and public health services. IHSC manages health care

services at these facilities via an electronic health records system (eHR) that allows IHSC to maintain patient files, perform analytics and reporting,

and ensure high quality care. Health care at non-IHSC-staffed detention facilities is managed either on-site by the contracted detention vendor or its

subcontractor. These costs are included in the overall detention contract, or are off-site expenses, where costs are processed by the VA Finance

Services Center (FSC), approved by IHSC, and paid by ICE. Through field medical coordinators, IHSC provides case management and health

oversight for detainees housed at these facilities and is responsible for initial detainee screenings for COVID-19, and communicable diseases like

tuberculosis, chronic disease management, and referrals for off-site medical treatment. The graph below displays the FY 2021 number of detainees

covered by eHR at the 21 IHSC-staffed facilities, as well as the total number of encounters these ICE detainees have with IHSC medical personnel.

Encounters represent the number of medical procedures performed on ICE detainees. A single detainee may incur more than one encounter or require

more than one procedure. In FY 2021, IHSC encountered 89,847 individuals for a total of 930,069 encounters. The following procedures were

conducted: 53,727 physical examinations; 89,847 intake screenings; and 13,622 emergency room and off-site referrals. IHSC also conducted an

additional 8,497 dental visits, 12,041 urgent care visits, 78,202 sick call visits, 46,496 mental health interventions, and filled 179,334 prescriptions

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Custody Operations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 139

Third Party Medical Care Provisioning: In FY 2021, IHSC oversaw health care for over 169,000 detainees housed in 148 non-IHSC-staffed facilities,

totaling over 51,000 beds. The contracted detention vendor or its subcontractor manages health care at these non-IHSC-staffed facilities. These costs

are included in the overall detention contract, or are off-site expenses, where costs are processed by the Veterans Affairs (VA) Finance Services

Center (FSC), approved by IHSC, and paid by ICE.

Revising the Detention System: On December 18, 2019, ICE released National Detention Standards (NDS) 2019. These standards took effect on

March 1, 2020 and supersede the NDS 2000. This updated version of the NDS, designed for non-dedicated facilities, streamlines many of the original

requirements and provides additional requirements to account for important changes in relevant law, policy, and practice similar to the Performance

Based National Detention Standards 2011. Key changes include streamlining of standards for, Food Service, Environmental Health and Safety,

Security Inspections, and Voluntary Work Program. The NDS 2000 standards regarding administrative and disciplinary special management units

were combined, descriptions of ICE’s responsibilities and commitments to its detainees were removed, and areas where language access is

particularly important were highlighted throughout the updated standards. Additionally, three new standards were added: Searches of Detainees,

which was reserved in NDS 2000; Sexual Abuse and Assault Prevention and Intervention, which fully implements facility requirements in the DHS

Final Rule, 6 CFR Part 115, Standards to Prevent, Detect and Respond to Sexual Abuse and Assault in Confinement Facilities (March 7, 2014), also

known as DHS Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA); and Disability Identification, Assessment and Accommodation, which obligates facilities to

provide detainees with disabilities the accommodations, auxiliary aides and modifications to policies, practices and/or procedures to allow them equal

opportunity to access, participate in, or benefit from detention programs, services, and activities. ICE plans to continue to revise and streamline the

current detention standards and oversight system on an as-needed basis.

Implementing DHS Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Regulations: DHS PREA regulations require that all new, renewed, or substantively

modified detention facility contracts incorporate PREA standards. As of the end of FY 2020, ICE has incorporated DHS PREA standards into

contracts at facilities covering approximately 94 percent of the ICE ADP (this excludes ICE ADP at USMS and BOP facilities, which are obligated to

comply with DOJ PREA regulations). ICE OPR, in coordination with other Agency programs and with CBP, solicited and secured a third-party

contract vendor to perform audits, which began in February 2017. In FY 2020, OPR published 14 audit reports, and fully completed nine of the

anticipated 19 audits. Due to impacts presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, OPR initiated a contingency audit process (consisting of documentation

reviews and remote interviews) for the remaining 10 audits, finalizing each of these phases in FY 2020; the on-site visits of these remaining 10 audits

were completed in FY 2021. In fact, OPR facilitated the completion of 30 PREA audits in total for FY 2021, distributing all reports to ERO for

further action, if required.

PPA Level II Description

Fugitive Operations identifies, locates, and arrests removable noncitizens present in the United States. The National Fugitive Operations Program

(NFOP) performs its duties to apprehend individuals who present a heightened threat to national security and public safety, such as transnational

gang members, child sex offenders, and noncitizens with prior convictions for violent crimes. Fugitive arrests require more time and resources than

the custodial arrests enacted by the Criminal Apprehension Program. To affect a fugitive arrest, officers must investigate a fugitive’s physical

location and status, surveil that location to identify the fugitive, and develop a plan for arrest. Due to the increased risk associated with fugitive

arrests, Fugitive Operations requires officers to conduct arrests in large teams, which increases costs and workload requirements for each arrest. In

FY 2021, the NFOP components combined to make 10,013 arrests, of which 50 percent had prior criminal convictions.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers

Detention and Deportation Officers (DDOs) The DDOs make up Fugitive Operations Teams that identify, locate, and arrest fugitive noncitizens.

The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due to FY 2023 Pricing Changes, including the 2023 Pay Raise and the Annualization of the 2022 Pay

Raise.

Non-LEOs: DDOs are enabled by non-LEOs who provide mission support in the form of file development, target analysis, and criminal history

verifications. Non-LEOs also ensure that DDOs receive sufficient support to maximize their effectiveness. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is

due to FY 2023 Pricing Changes, including the 2023 Pay Raise and the Annualization of the 2022 Pay Raise.

Explanation of Non-Pay Cost Drivers

Fugitive Operations Contracts: Fugitive Operations contracts provide advanced data analytics, data processing, and data access services. Specific

contracts include but are not limited to: Lexis/Nexis - National Crime Analysis and Targeting Center (NCATC), Thomson Reuters Special Services

(TRSS), and ThunderCat. Funding was maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Equipment: Biometric readers are significant tools to enhance public safety by aiding the officer's capability to identify priority targets and verify

their identities in the field. These and other equipment for Fugitive Operations officers are a primary expense for their mission and are derived from

costs associated with immigration enforcement expertise in coordination with State and local law enforcement and participation in interagency task

forces. Funding was maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Travel: Travel by prior year and current year hires, associated with mission critical travel (e.g., Mobile Criminal Alien Teams (MCATs)) and/or

surges (e.g., Operation Cross Check, Operation Sex Offender Alien Removal) in order to apprehend fugitive and criminals at-large. Funding was

maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Other Costs: Other Costs include one-time charges (e.g., furniture, uniforms, phones, O&M for vehicles) to hire additional LEOs. No funding is

requested in FY 2023.

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Fugitive Operations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 146

Budget Activities

Fugitive Operations funds the following programs:

Fugitive Operation Teams (FOTs):

ERO has 129 FOTs concentrating on noncitizens who threaten public safety or national security. FOTs identify, locate, and arrest criminal

noncitizens, gang members, and individuals who have violated U.S. immigration laws, including noncitizens who illegally re-entered the country

after being removed, and those ordered removed by an IJ.

Probation and Parole:

NFOP coordinates with Federal, State, and Local Parole and Probation Offices to identify, arrest, and remove foreign-born nationals who are released

from incarceration (paroled) or who are placed on probation without being incarcerated, that are found to be in violation of immigration laws. In FY

2021, there were 724 probation and parole arrests, with 686 criminal convictions (95 percent), compared to 1,256 arrests and 1,211 convictions (96

percent) in FY 2020.

Transnational Law Enforcement Operations (TLEO):

TLEO partners with international and U.S. law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to advance the law enforcement interests of the United States, to share

criminal justice, humanitarian, and public safety information between U.S. law enforcement and its foreign counterparts, and to facilitate

transnational investigative efforts that enhance the safety and security of the United States. TLEO develops and disseminates actionable real time

intelligence data via investigative referrals on criminals and security threats who are violating U.S. Federal code and/or immigration laws to conduct

criminal and/or violent activities, while exploiting international borders to elude law enforcement. TLEO operates within host agencies at great

benefit to the ERO mission. All statistic data previously reported in this process belonged to the host agencies. In FY 2021, the total Foreign Fugitive

Arrests made was 88.

National Criminal Analysis and Targeting Center (NCATC):

The NCATC, the national enforcement operations center for the ERO Targeting Operations Division (TOD), supports ERO enforcement personnel

by generating high-value criminal and intelligence analysis from a wide variety of sources. The NCATC identification and analysis services underpin

the at-large enforcement initiatives of ICE Directorates and program offices which seek to identify, arrest, and remove priority noncitizens who pose

a threat to community safety or national security.

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Fugitive Operations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 147

Using technology and partnerships with domestic and international LEAs, interagency stakeholders, and regulatory and intelligence agencies, the

NCATC analyzes large amounts of person-centric data to develop leads and investigative referrals and disseminate those leads to ICE field

components. The NCATC prioritizes its resources for the investigation and generation of leads on members of transnational street gangs, sex

offenders, and noncitizens with convictions for violent crimes and works with ICE field units, law enforcement task forces, and other Federal and

international LEAs to provide stakeholders with thousands of referrals each year. In FY2021, the NCATC vetted targeting and investigative referrals

on over 7.7 million individuals. The NCATC provides targeting and operational support for the following ongoing, multi-agency investigative and

intelligence activities: Parole and Probation violators; ATD violators; Sex Offender Registration (SOR); Return to Sender; Operation No Safe Haven;

Security Alliance for Fugitive Enforcement (SAFE); National Cross Check operations; and ERO’s Most Wanted Program. The NCATC is

responsible for the investigation of noncitizens referred to ICE by USCIS’s Fraud Detection and National Security Directorate (FDNS) who have

been convicted of, or are suspected of being convicted of, egregious crimes. Crimes include, but are not limited to murder, rape, sexual abuse of a

minor, child pornography, trafficking of controlled substances, and offenses relating to explosive materials or firearms. The NCATC analyzes all

Egregious Public Safety (EPS) referrals received from USCIS. By leveraging specialized training, experience, technology, and law enforcement

partnerships, this immigration enforcement effort advances public safety and national security.

Since 2009, ERO’s NCATC has partnered with the HSI Counterterrorism and Criminal Exploitation Unit (CTCEU) on the investigation of

nonimmigrant visa violators. Once CTCEU has completed its internal vetting process, cases that fall outside of HSI’s targeting parameters are

forwarded to the NCATC; this amounts to approximately 800,000 cases annually. Upon receiving the pre-vetted case records from CTCEU, NCATC

employs both automated and a manual review process that analyze a wide range of person-centric information from several DHS systems, to identify

individuals that may pose a public safety risk.

Since 2013, SOR data has been received by the NCATC on a weekly basis. The data is processed for development of actionable leads which are then

forwarded to the respective Field Offices. In FY 2021, NCATC generated and disseminated 388 SOR Initiative leads to ERO field offices. These

leads resulted in 196 arrests.

NFOP conducts the following activities to increase criminal noncitizen arrests and improve investigative targeting:

• Operation Cross Check: Operation Cross Check is NFOP’s flagship enforcement initiative targeting specific noncitizen populations, such as at-

large criminals convicted of violent offenses, members of transnational criminal gangs, and convicted sex offenders. The specific nature of an

Operation Cross Check effort may be predicated on national events or situations unique to a particular AOR, requests by ICE counterparts or

other agencies, or directives from an ERO component. Despite the unprecedented challenges encountered due to the impacts of the COVID-19

pandemic during FY 2021, Cross Check operations made 5,840 arrests of which 70 percent (4,099) resulted in a criminal conviction.

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Fugitive Operations – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 148

• Most Wanted Program: The Most Wanted Program aids ICE in the location and arrest of dangerous fugitives and at-large criminal noncitizens,

develops community support by providing visibility and fostering awareness of ERO’s public safety mission, and builds cooperative relationships

with law enforcement partners through the exchange of mutually beneficial information aimed at removing these threats from local communities.

In FY 2019, ERO arrested four noncitizens on ERO’s Top 10 Most Wanted list. During FY 2020, there were four additional arrests of ERO’s Top

10 Most Wanted. During FY 2021, ERO arrested seven noncitizens on ERO’s Top 10 Most Wanted List.

Mobile Criminal Alien Teams (MCATs):

MCATs assist with enforcement efforts in areas where the criminal noncitizen workload requires additional personnel, including where cooperation

with local law enforcement is incongruent with ERO’s operational needs. MCATs conduct at-large field enforcement activities designed to

investigate, locate, and arrest noncitizens for removal from the United States, especially criminal noncitizens who were released from the custody of

jurisdictions that do not honor ICE detainers. There are several MCATs in locations in which ERO previously had no permanent presence, increasing

public safety within these regions and eliminating the need for field offices to detail personnel to these underserved areas. MCATs are also ideally

situated to address probation and parole enforcement leads. MCATs are assigned to 10 of the 24 ERO AORs. During FY 2021, MCATs made 428

arrests with a 70 percent criminal conviction rate (298).

Special Response Teams (SRTs):

SRTs are specialized teams that conduct high-risk enforcement actions and other specialized duties or activities, as authorized, in the furtherance of

ICE’s immigration enforcement and public safety missions within the scope of ICE authorities. Certain ERO enforcement activities require

specialized training, tactics, and equipment beyond those of the typical ERO enforcement officer to ensure safe and successful resolution of mission

activities.

SRT enforcement actions include an elevated probability that an encounter will be made with an individual with a history of violence, or otherwise

involve sensitive circumstances. These high-risk enforcement activities may include the service of high-risk warrants, high-risk transports, high

profile removals, and special high-risk charter flights.

SRTs are now active in 22 of the 25 field offices, with two additional approved teams pending certification in FY 2023. During FY 2021, SRTs

completed 443 missions. The mission activity breakdown includes 89 high-risk missions, 139 high-risk arrest warrants, 22 high-profile removals,50

high-risk transports, and 143 security missions.

PPA Level II Description

The Criminal Apprehension Program (CAP) supports the apprehends and removes criminal noncitizens who are at-large or incarcerated within

Federal, State, and local prisons and jails noncitizen. CAP is responsible for screening and interviewing incarcerated noncitizens in over 4,300 local

and State jails, and prisons throughout the United States. To identify individuals for screening, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and correctional

facilities provide ICE biometric and biographic leads. ICE then uses biometric information sharing and analysis to confirm the validity of these leads.

Following confirmation, CAP issues documents explaining the violation, lodges a detainer to ensure the facility releases the criminal noncitizen to

ICE and places the individual into removal proceedings. Apprehension of incarcerated noncitizens is more efficient and much safer than

apprehension of those that are at-large.

Explanation of Non-Pay Cost Drivers

Contracts – Project Management Support / Law Enforcement Systems and Analysis (LESA): This cost driver includes the analysis of

nationwide enforcement operations as well as coordination with State and local law enforcement jurisdictions to support immigration priorities. It is

derived from costs associated with project management contract support to improve data analysis and technology of immigration policy. Funding was

maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Equipment: This cost driver includes vehicles, radios, and other law enforcement equipment required by LEOs to carry out ICE’s mission. Funding

was maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Contracts – Law Enforcement Support Contract (LESC) / Field Offices Travel: Contracts support nationwide enforcement operations as well as

coordination with State and local law enforcement jurisdictions to support immigration priorities. The LESC provides LEAs with data, criminal

intelligence, and other person-centric information regarding immigration status and criminal history of persons under investigation, in custody, or

otherwise encountered. Funding was maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Travel: Travel includes operational travel within the interior of the United States for the arrest of at-large criminal noncitizens. It is derived from

projected mission critical travel and/or surges to apprehend and arrest at-large criminal noncitizens. Funding was decreased between FY 2022 to

FY2023.

Other Costs: Other Costs include one-time charges (i.e., furniture, uniforms, phones) to hire additional LEOs. Funding increased from FY 2022 to

FY 2023.

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Criminal Apprehension Program – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 155

Budget Activities

CAP performs its duties in accordance with Executive Order 13993: Revision of Civil Immigration Enforcement Policies and Priorities, focusing

enforcement efforts to ensure public safety and border security.

CAP leverages Secure Communities technology, which employ specialized IT systems to query FBI and DHS databases, to identify noncitizens and

take enforcement actions. LEAs initiate integrated record checks of criminal history and immigration status for individuals in their custody and refer

those who are of interest to ICE for further investigation. In addition to managing the referrals provided by over 4,300 LEAs via Secure

Communities, ERO CAP Officers must also locate and interview unidentified criminal noncitizens through other channels and pursue Secure

Communities leads lacking the information required to make identity or status determinations. Once cases of interest are identified, ERO Officers

make a status determination, lodge detainers on those in LEA custody who are of interest to ICE, issue charging documents to initiate removal

proceedings, and, upon release, arrest and transport the individuals into ICE custody.

The primary measures of CAP workload are noncitizens encounters, charging documents issued, and apprehensions made. These include both actions

taken against those in LEA custody and those at-large. Physical removals from the United States measure the outcome of these actions.

287(g) Program:

The 287(g) Program derives its authority under section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The Program facilitates the processing of

noncitizens who are booked into a LEA’s custody after being arrested for violation of a State or Local criminal law. Under a joint Memorandum of

Agreement (MOA) with State and local LEAs, ICE cross-designates non-Federal LEOs as Designated Immigration Officers (DIOs) to perform

specific immigration enforcement roles under the supervision of an ICE officer.

The 287(g) Program currently operates two models: The Jail Enforcement Model (JEM) and the Warrant Service Officer (WSO) Program. At the

conclusion of FY 2021, JEM had a total of 68 signed MOAs, of which 63 were operational in 20 States. In FY 2021, the WSO Program had a total of

76 MOAs, of which 57 were operational in 11 different States. These programs are examples of coordination between ICE and the State and the local

law enforcement agencies that comprise key parts of the larger homeland security enterprise. ICE recognizes the importance of its relationships with

State and local law enforcement partners, and will continue to share information, and coordinate operations, with those partners in a way that best

serves local needs and ICE’s important national security and public safety missions. While the 287(g) program has yielded successes, ICE recognizes

the program is not universally regarded as the most effective or appropriate model for all stakeholders or in every jurisdiction. Accordingly, ICE will

maintain its authority to utilize 287(g) agreements, exercise strict oversight where such agreements operate, and will continually evaluate the overall

effectiveness of the Program.

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Criminal Apprehension Program – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 156

Criminal History Information Sharing (CHIS):

CHIS is an information sharing initiative between the U.S. Government and its international partners. Through CHIS, ICE provides its partners with

valuable criminal conviction, identity, and gang information on noncitizens pending removal from the United States. In return, ICE receives

otherwise inaccessible foreign conviction, identity documents, and gang data. These records assist in the identification and classification of additional

noncitizens within ICE’s removal priorities and identifies foreign criminal wants and warrants of fugitives from foreign partners. The list of CHIS

foreign partners consists of Bahamas, Cape Verde, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, and the

United Kingdom. CHIS is currently engaging with the governments of Australia, Brazil, and New Zealand in an effort to expand the program. Since

2015, CHIS has utilized an encrypted email platform to transmit biometric based and bi-directional criminal history information to CHIS foreign

partners. The ICE Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) is currently working on the modernization of the existing platform by creating a

more secured web-based user interface which will greatly enhance bilateral communication between ICE and CHIS foreign partners. In FY 2021

CAP provided 33,266 outbound transmissions through CHIS (16,389 non-criminal notices and 16,877 criminal notices) to international law

enforcement partners; CAP received 6,990 inbound transmissions that led to 56 international wants/warrants.

Institutional Hearing and Removal Program (IHRP):

The IHRP brings together ICE attorneys, ERO, BOP or State prisons, EOIR IJs, and USCIS in a system designed to expedite the removal process of

incarcerated criminal noncitizens. IHRP’s objective is to complete the judicial and administrative removal proceedings prior to the completion of a

noncitizen’s incarceration. This process reduces or eliminates the need for further detention once the inmate enters ICE custody for the purposes of

removal. In FY 2021 IHRP made 3,975 administrative arrests and removed 2,799 noncitizens (70 percent).

ERO Criminal Prosecutions (ECP):

The ECP enforces penalties related to violations of the U.S. Criminal Code (USCC) discovered through ICE enforcement activities. The priority

prosecution of criminal noncitizens offenders identified by ICE enforcement officers, in conjunction with the Offices of the U.S. Attorneys, enhances

public safety and deters recidivism. In FY 2020, ECP enforcement resulted in 4,360 criminal arrests, 4,479 Federal indictments, and 5,397 criminal

convictions. In FY 2021, ECP enforcement resulted in 2,312 criminal arrests, 2,344 Federal indictments, and 2,771 criminal convictions.

Operational Footprint:

In addition to the programs mentioned above, CAP is also responsible for management of the following operational centers, which support the

identification and removal of criminal noncitizens:

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Criminal Apprehension Program – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 157

Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC):

The LESC provides LEAs with data and intelligence, including information regarding immigration status and criminal history of persons under

investigation, in custody, or otherwise encountered. The LESC operates 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. In addition, the LESC operates a call

center, which provides LEAs with real time assistance over the phone. In FY 2020, the LESC processed 1,435,429 LEA request or identity and

immigration status inquiries. In FY 2021, the LESC processed 1,556,157 LEA request or identity and immigration status inquiries.

LESC supports Federal, State, local, tribal, and international law enforcement partners, including INTERPOL and ICE Attaché offices, using the full

range of DHS and other Federal intelligence resources. LESC also administers ICE records within the National Crime Information Center (NCIC),

which plays a fundamental role in the Nation’s security and public safety and helps prevent gun violence by providing immigration status

information to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for Federal background checks on firearms purchases.

Additionally, beginning January 1, 2018, the LESC entered a partnership with the HSI Tipline to investigate information received about removable

noncitizens within the United States.

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Criminal Apprehension Program – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 158

Pacific Enforcement Response Center (PERC):

PERC supports the ERO Los Angeles Field Office 24/7 and provides mission critical after-hours support to 17 additional field offices encompassing

42 States and two territories, delivering near real-time detainer issuance, intelligence support, and proactive, risk-based targeting of removable

criminal noncitizens. PERC targeting focuses on those who pose a threat to national security and public safety. PERC disseminates real-time

intelligence in the form of actionable leads associated with both in-custody and at-large criminal noncitizens. In FY 2020, PERC processed 203,875

Immigration Alien Responses (IAR), issued 16,953 detainers/notifications, and made 104,026 CAP and at-large referrals. During FY 2021, PERC

processed 191,177 IARs, issued 19,352 detainers/notifications, and made 98,153 CAP and at-large referrals.

Criminal Apprehension Program Surge Enforcement Team (CAPSET):

CAPSET and CAP surge operations enable ERO field offices to “surge” environments whose target population outweighs local enforcement

capabilities by drawing on personnel resources throughout the country. In FY 2021, ERO conducted three CAPSET operations targeting incarcerated

noncitizens held in BOP facilities in the State of Texas, processing 426 noncitizen encounters, issuing 359 charging documents, and lodging 215

immigration detainers. CAPSET aims to accomplish the following:

• Increase the number of noncitizens identified and fully processed prior to their release from custody,

• Assist field offices in reducing in-custody target backlog and in reducing personnel assigned to the surge; and

• Identify best practices that may be replicated in other locations

PPA Level II Description

Alternatives to Detention (ATD) supervises certain individuals using a combination of home and office visits, alert response, court tracking, and

monitoring technology as an alternative to detention, allowing participating individuals to remain in their communities while their case are processed.

ATD is a flight-mitigation tool that utilizes both technology and strong case management to increase compliance with release conditions and

facilitates noncitizen compliance with court hearings and final orders of removal. Noncitizens may be eligible for ATD under certain conditions:

participants must be 18 years of age or older, removable, and at some stage of an immigration proceedings (i.e., issued a Notice to Appear (NTA)).

Those that pass a credible fear screening and do not present a public safety or flight risk may also be eligible. ATD provides a high level of

supervision with the assistance of contractor support. Funding for ATD supports case management and the technology used to monitor and facilitate

compliance with ATD supervision. It also funds facilitating activities to expand participation in case management services provided by non-

government organizations and community partners.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers

Detention and Deportation Officers (DDOs): ATD DDOs supervise noncitizens eligible for ATD through home visits, alert response, and

contractor-supported oversight. ATD can perform its function with a low FTE/participant ratio due to reliance on the Intensive Supervision

Appearance Program (ISAP) IV’s technology and contractor support. The increase in FY 2022 from FY 2023 is due to FY 2023 Pricing Changes,

including the 2023 Pay Raise, the Annualization of the 2022 Pay Raise, and a request for 23 additional FTE.

Non-LEOs: ATD non-LEOs perform administrative duties, such as court case tracking and case management, to allow ATD LEOs to focus on their

mission-facing functions. The increase in FY 2022 from FY 2023 is due to additional hiring in FY 2023 Program Changes and FY 2023 Pricing

Changes, including the 2023 Pay Raise and the Annualization of the 2022 Pay Raise.

Other PC&B Costs: Personnel, Compensation, and Benefits costs for ERO Deportation Officers include Special Personal Services Payments. This

increase is due to additional hiring in Non-Detained Docket (NDD) Case Management program.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers

ATD Contracts: ATD’s primary non pay cost driver is non-detained monitoring contracts (known as ISAP IV). ISAP IV covers the monitoring of

low-level aliens currently not in detention and on bond. It is derived from costs associated with an array of monitoring technology options (i.e.,

telephonic or GPS, court management, or alert management) that provides a high level of supervision in coordination with contractor support. The

increase in FY 2023 is associated with FY 2023 Program Changes, including a $75.0M increase to accommodate continued expansion and reliance

on the Alternatives to Detention (ATD) programs.

Other Costs: Other Costs include one-time charges (i.e., furniture, uniforms, phones, O&M for vehicles) to hire additional LEOs. The increase in FY

2023 is associated with FY 2023 Program Changes.

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Alternatives to Detention – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 165

Budget Activities

In FY 2021, ICE had 97,901 average ATD program participants. To use its available detention capacity for high-risk individuals, ICE must maintain

a robust ATD program for low-risk individuals or those not suitable for detention. Examples of individuals not suitable for detention are family units

ICE must release from detention within a few weeks pursuant to court orders and individuals with significant medical issues, among other categorical

assessments.

Intensive Supervision Appearance Program IV (ISAP IV):

ISAP IV is the fourth iteration of the ISAP contract and provides ATD officers with case management services and technology monitoring options.

Upon an individual’s placement in ATD, an ATD LEO conducts a risk evaluation of the individual and assigns that individual an appropriate level of

supervision. As part of this evaluation, the LEO selects the type of monitoring technology (i.e., telephonic, SmartLINK, or GPS) and the levels of

case management, such as frequency of home and office visits, court tracking, and alert management. ATD LEOs can review and adjust case

management levels and technology assignment at any time based upon the participant’s compliance and/or changes in the participant’s

circumstances. The LEO can consider the following factors when determining eligibility for ATD enrollment options:

• Stage in the removal process;

• Assets/property;

• Community and family ties;

• Legal representation:

• Criminal history;

• Compliance history; and

• Humanitarian concerns.

ISAP IV enhances ICE’s operational effectiveness. ICE has developed standard operating procedures (SOPs) that have maintained significant

program success rates while operating at a low average daily cost. Under the ISAP IV contract, ICE incurs costs of approximately $4.11 per day for

every participant, down from the $4.39 average under the former ISAP III agreement. The ISAP IV contract enables ICE to significantly increase

participant compliance with release conditions, including attending immigration hearings, obtaining travel documentation, and making travel

arrangements for departure from the United States.

The ISAP IV contract also offers Enhanced Case Management Services (ECMS). ECMS provides higher level of access to case management for

those participants who have been identified as having suffered significant trauma or who have direct dependents in need. ECMS provides participants

all the services that were initially provided under the Family Case Management Program (FCMP) but is 1/6

th

of the cost of FCMP and is available in

54 locations rather than just five metropolitan areas. ECMS assistance to participants includes:

• Helping families identify and prioritize challenges;

• Developing specific, measurable goals and outcomes with corresponding action plans;

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Alternatives to Detention – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 166

• Identifying and connecting to available community resources to help achieve program objectives;

• Working with non-profit and community-based organizations to provide direct services, such as Know your Rights and Cultural Orientations;

• Developing Stability and Well Being Assessments that address a variety of areas including living arrangements, transportation, medical, legal,

financial services, cultural orientation, among others; and

• Providing effective referrals that align with needs, as well as verifying that participants engage with provided referrals by following up after

appointments.

The ISAP IV contract also offers Wraparound Stabilization Services (WSS). WSS is designed for a vulnerable population of participants who have

significant challenges and would benefit from supplemental services that were not originally provided under ISAP. WSS services are available at all

24 AORs. The contractor coordinates with non-profit organizations to facilitate WSS services. These services are voluntary and not funded by ICE.

Medical records, diagnosis, and other protected information are not collected by the contractor and are not shared with ICE. Services that WSS

provides to participants includes:

• Trafficking Screening;

• Trauma Informed Individual Therapy;

• Trafficking Group Education;

• Family Therapy;

• Individual Rehabilitation; and

• Supplemental Services Evaluation.

Additionally, the Contractor will provide stakeholders an opportunity to provide feedback and engage in programming dialogue through a

Community Reference Committee. The ISAP IV contract experienced a slight delay in award due to an acquisition protest, which has been resolved

by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The ISAP IV became operational on August 1, 2020.

ATD has established 19 staging areas (S sites) on the border and at some detention facilities. ICE enrolls eligible participants directly from major

border processing areas for travel across the United States to these sites. At the end of FY 2021 Q2, ICE enrolled 6,106 S site participants. These S

sites are located in Phoenix, AZ; Tucson, AZ; Yuma, AZ; Oakdale, CA; Santa Ana, CA; San Diego, CA; Adelanto, CA; Imperial, CA; Otay Mesa,

CA; San Ysidro, CA; Berks, PA; El Paso, TX; McAllen, TX; Dilley, TX; Karnes, TX; Harlingen, TX; Houston, TX; and Port Isabel, TX. ATD can

track the participants via GPS as they leave the border areas and travel to a new AOR. Once they arrive in a new AOR, the ATD officer determines

their continued suitability for the ATD program and possible transition to a C, G, or T site, as described below.

C sites: These are standalone contractor-operated facilities providing case management services and monitoring. Contractor Case Specialists (CSs), at

the direction of ICE, conduct case management activities, including unscheduled home visits, scheduled office visits, support service referrals, court

tracking, and alert management for C site participants. The CSs assign the participant a monitoring technology based upon the ATD officer’s request.

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Alternatives to Detention – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 167

A participant may be eligible for support services, including medical services, legal and translation services, local transportation-related information

services, and court date reminders.

G sites: These are locations where the contractor works within the local ERO office. Capacity is limited to 100 participants; however, transition to a

C site is possible upon request and with a demonstration of need. The CS can perform the same functions as that of a C site. ICE also has Super G

sites which can supervise 200 participants. In this case, rather than one, two CSs will operate within the local ERO office.

T sites: These are ERO offices where ATD officers directly supervise the participants using contractor-provided software and equipment. ATD

officers are responsible for case management but have the option of assigning court tracking and initial alert resolution to the contractor.

ATD program participation rates have increased rapidly rising from 26,625 daily average program participants/ADP in FY 2015 to 79,595 in FY

2018—a nearly 200 percent increase. At the end of FY 2019, ICE had a daily average of 97,268 participants. At the end of FY 2020, ICE had a daily

average of 90,194 participants. At end of FY 2021, ATD ADP was 97,901, and as result of the prolonged surge at the SWB, ATD participation was

around 143,000 in Feb 2022. In FY 2023 ICE ATD requests additional support to accommodate 170,000 ATD participants.

The ATD program ensures the most appropriate levels of case management and technology assignment to improve compliance rates. However, the

rate of non-compliance and program absconders increased during FY 2019 and FY 2020. In FY 2020, the overall absconder rate was 33.1 percent,

with a family unit absconder rate of 39.0 percent, and a non-family unit absconder rate of 21.0 percent. Absconder levels also are high for noncitizens

on ATD ordered removed, and for those who have recently arrived in the United States and lack family ties. ATD seeks to ensure noncitizens comply

with program requirements and that ICE has a chance to intervene before an individual or family unit absconds. The table below provides a breakout

of FY 2021 ATD absconder rates broken out by adults and family units (FAMU).

ICE continues to take an analysis-based approach towards efficiencies and program application. In FY 2019, ICE developed and implemented ATD’s

version of a risk-score which, when considering several factors, generated a number from one to five. The higher the number, the higher the

perceived risk of ATD non-compliance. Each time an automated alert is generated, the participant’s risk score is given so the case officers can

prioritize operational responses towards higher-risk participants. A preliminary analysis indicates that since the implementation of the risk score, ICE

has decreased response times to those participants who are the highest risk of absconding. ICE will continue to track this information and is looking

to perform further analysis to determine if using the risk scores and focusing operational responses has led to higher rates of compliance.

PPA Level II Description

The Transportation and Removal Program (TRP) coordinates the safe and secure transportation of noncitizens who either are subject to final orders

of removal or require custodial transfer within the United States, which may ultimately include transportation to the noncitizen’s final destination if

ICE determines in its discretion that such transportation is necessary. TRP also manages custody determinations, travel document issuance, and

removal processes for post final order cases. TRP consists of three divisions: The Removal Management Division (RMD); ICE Air Operations

(IAO); and the International Operations Division (IOD). TRP also coordinates the custodial transfer of Unaccompanied Children (UC) from CBP to

Health and Human Services (HHS) shelters through the Juvenile Facility Unit.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers

Detention and Deportation Officers (DDOs): TRP DDOs transport noncitizens safely and securely. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due

to additional hiring in FY 2023 Program Changes and FY 2023 Pricing Changes, including the 2023 Pay Raise, the Annualization of the 2022 Pay

Raise, and the Annualization of FY 2022 FTE.

Non- LEOs: TRP non-LEOs include Air Operations staff who coordinate ICE charter air flights in the United States and around the world and

arrange commercial flights for the removal of noncitizens. The increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due to additional hiring in FY 2023 Program

Changes and FY 2023 Pricing Changes, including the 2023 Pay Raise the Annualization of the 2022 Pay Raise, and the Annualization of FY 2022

FTE.

Explanation of Non-Pay Cost Drivers

Contracts – Ground Transportation: Ground transportation allows for nationwide movement of noncitizen migrants in preparation for removal

from the United States. These costs are impacted by regional and national transportation movements, including local bus/van transports for removal

of detained noncitizens. Funding was maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Contracts – Charter Aircraft: Charter aircraft are used by ICE Air Operations to conduct deportations of illegal noncitizens back to their home

countries. Funding was maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Contracts – Unaccompanied Children (UC): UC migration requires officer escorts in the transfer of these minors to the HHS Office of Refugee

Resettlement (ORR). Funding was maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Other Costs: Other Costs include one-time charges (i.e., furniture, uniforms, phones, O&M for vehicles) to hire additional LEOs. Funding was

maintained from FY 2022 to FY 2023.

Budget Activities

TRP utilizes the managerial tools and resources described below to coordinate removals from the United States to countries around the world in

accordance with the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), departmental policies, and country-specific requirements. The process to verify an

individual’s country of citizenship can be cumbersome and is often contingent upon information obtained from the noncitizen in ICE custody or

under ICE supervision, DHS and DOS data systems, and direct engagement with foreign governments via ERO Assistant Attachés for Removal.

Domestically, ERO provides any information that can be gathered to support an individual’s identity to the appropriate consulate or embassy. Each

country has their own verification process, with some requiring personal interviews or extensive in-country investigations involving visits to previous

addresses prior to verifying nationality and accepting the return of their national. When ERO has exhausted all its means to return a noncitizen, ERO

will request assistance from DOS to engage with the foreign government either domestically or abroad. Despite ERO’s efforts there are numerous

countries that refuse to cooperate in taking back their citizens. ICE does not have the authority to force removals upon a sovereign nation.

To facilitate removals, TRP implemented the Electronic Nationality Verification (ENV) Program in FY 2019. The program is designed to return

nationals of participating countries in an expeditious manner by electronically verifying one’s nationality in lieu of the traditional process of having a

travel document issued by a consular official. Currently, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras (Northern Triangle) are active participating nations.

Since the ENV Pilot program’s inception on July 25, 2019, and as of the end of FY 2020, ERO had conducted 610 total ENV flights, repatriating

53,660 total ENV participants. As of the end of FY 2021, ERO had conducted 822 total ENV charter flights (including mixed missions), repatriating

a total of 65,305 noncitizens.

Uncooperative countries represent a significant challenge to efficient and effective removal proceedings. The Removal Division continues to make

progress with historically recalcitrant countries using the Removal Cooperation Initiative (RCI) tool, which ranks foreign countries’ cooperation with

the removal process as Uncooperative, At Risk of Non-Compliance (ARON), or Cooperative. The Removal Division’s Removal Management

Division uses this information to focus the engagement of appropriate U.S. and foreign government interlocutors to improve foreign governments’

cooperation with ICE’s removal efforts. While progress has been made, obtaining approval to return nationals to many countries outside of the

northern triangle and Mexico has been historically more difficult to obtain, thus requiring constant and continued engagement with these countries to

ensure that approvals continue to be granted. Both the coordination efforts and the physical removal are much more labor intensive, costly, and at

times take longer to coordinate and organize. These challenges in removing individuals via commercial airlines to some African, Middle Eastern, and

Southeast Asian countries, often result in the need for ERO to utilize Special High-Risk Charter flights at a substantially higher cost than commercial

removals.

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Transportation and Removal Program – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 176

TRP accomplishes removals through three Divisions of ERO’s Removal Directorate -- the Removal Management Division (RMD), International

Operations Division (IOD), and ICE Air Operations (IAO). RMD and IOD oversee removal operations and liaise with foreign governments, both

domestically and abroad, to coordinate timely removal of individuals with final orders of removal. By obtaining the proper clearances and issuing

necessary notifications for pending missions, IOD provides logistical assistance for escorted and unescorted commercial air removals. IOD also

provides on-the-ground support, when needed, and helps officers during escorts when issues arise in transit or with foreign countries. To assist with

overseas coordination, IOD administers Deputy Attachés for Removal (DARs) and Assistant Attachés for Removal (AARs) that provide field offices

and Headquarters staff with assistance on removal-related matters from strategically located overseas stations to expedite travel document (TD)

issuance. In FY 2018, the International Operations Division (IOD) embarked on a five-year expansion plan to add new strategically located

DAR/AAR positions/posts based on specific criteria and has prepared memos justifying each respective position’s chosen location. In FY 2018, two

new overseas positions were added (AARs Kenya and Senegal). In FY 2019 one new position was added (AAR Vietnam). In FY 2020 six new

positions were added (DAR Guatemala (in addition to existing AAR Guatemala) and AARs Cuba, Haiti, Barbados, Israel, and Cambodia). In FY

2021 one new position was added (AAR Cote D’Ivoire). The FY 2022 - 2023 plan is to approve DAR/AAR placement with cooperative countries

which include Romania, Bahrain, Peru, and the Philippines.

ICE Air Operations (IAO):

IAO manages air transportation support for removals by scheduling removal and domestic transfer flights in support of ERO’s 24 Field Offices. In

addition, IAO is responsible for air charter contract oversight, aviation safety, and training and provides aviation transport services to all ICE ERO

field offices. IAO Air Charter Operations conducts routine flight operations from locations in Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, and Texas in support of all

ERO field offices.

IAO transports noncitizens via air charters and commercial flights. ICE uses routine air charters to remove noncitizens to countries with high removal

volumes and special air charters for failure-to-comply cases, noncitizens ineligible for removal via commercial air, and for high-profile individuals.

ICE can rapidly adjust to changing flight requirements, such as dates, times, and routes using charters procured through the GSA Schedule. ICE uses

commercial flights to facilitate the transfer, staging, and removal of noncitizens via land POEs, following the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR), and

for repatriations to countries with a low volume of removals. Increases in removals and additional domestic flight requirements resulting from high

ADP increase air costs substantially.

In FY 2021, IAO conducted 61 Special High-Risk Charter (SHRC) flights, removing a total of 893 noncitizens to 62 different countries, as compared

to 76 SHRC flights in FY 2020, removing a total of 3,728 noncitizens. These flights directly result from the IOD’s overseas expansion and RMD’s

focused engagements with foreign embassies and consulates. In addition, with so many commercial routes, country, travel, and airline restrictions

resulting from COVID-19, the reliance and utilization of charter aircraft has increased.

Enforcement and Removal Operations – PPA Transportation and Removal Program – PPA II

ICE – O&S - 177

Ground Transportation:

Ground transportation includes noncitizen pick-ups, transfers, removals, and court and medical appointments. Ground transportation provides

integral support to other ICE activities, including custody management, enforcement, removals, and local field operations. The Transportation

Management Office (TMO) was established by ERO to manage noncitizen ground transportation requirements more effectively. The TMO works

directly with field and headquarters stakeholders to collect and analyze transportation data, to identify and implement efficiencies, and develop

business process improvements and policies for ground transportation operations.

In FY 2021, TRP purchased an estimated 16.3 million miles of contractor ground transportation and 1.2 million contractor guard hours directly

related to transportation. In FY 2020 TRP purchased an estimated 17.0 million miles of contractor ground transportation and over 1.2 million

contractor guard hours directly tied to transportation. These services occur via individual transportation contracts in New York City, Baltimore, San

Antonio, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Phoenix, as well as transportation contracts that are combined with local detention services

contracts in remaining AORs. The decentralized ground transportation network allows field offices to control local transportation networks and

assets.

Unaccompanied Children (UCs):

In addition to the removal of noncitizens, ICE transfers UCs to the care of the HHS ORR upon the assignment of bed space. ERO is responsible for

transporting UCs from the DHS apprehending agency to the designated HHS ORR facility. The Juvenile and Family Residential Management Unit

coordinates with HHS ORR directly for placement of UCs encountered in the interior of the United States by other DHS Components. ICE

safeguards UC welfare by adhering to Stated UC ratio guidelines and by separating minors by age, gender, and criminality. ERO uses commercial air

travel to conduct the majority of UC and FAMU movements. Costs increase substantially with the number of UC book-ins. In FY 2021, ICE

transported 122,946 UC, 704 percent higher than the total number of 15,289 in FY 2020, at a total contracted transportation cost of $105.9M. This is

primarily due to the number of UC encountered by CBP along the SWB. ICE is currently projecting 177,008 UC may be transported in FY 2022 at a

projected contract cost of $127.1M.

024_000005350 - Consolidated ICE Financial Solution (CIFS) Non-Major IT No - $13,321 $10,563

Investment Description

The Consolidated ICE Financial Solution (CIFS) Program was established to support DHS Financial Systems Modernization (FSM) Program

mission, goals, and objectives. Establishing CIFS was necessary given ICE’s role as a financial management service provider to other DHS

Components. It also serves to support development of staging for financial data in preparation for migration to a target system, as well as developing

functions to ensure DHS customer Components have access to efficient financial transaction processing using a fully integrated financial, acquisition,

and asset management solution. CIFS also supports ICE’s objective of achieving better programmatic expenditure reporting by linking acquisition

transactions to specific programs. ICE is transitioning to an integrated financial management solution that standardizes business processes to

eliminate duplication and inefficiencies; delivers more robust automated financial reporting; complies with Federal requirements and guidelines; and

provides a fully automated, integrated, and streamlined core financial system. The solution will eliminate many existing manual work-around

processes and will increase workforce efficiencies and enhance productivity. The future integrated enterprise level financial management,

procurement, and asset management system will reside on a shared platform that will be utilized by ICE and its DHS customer Components,

including Departmental Management and Operations, which now includes the Federal Protective Service and the Office of Biometric Identify

Management; the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency; the Science and Technology Directorate; and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration

Services.

Justification

ICE’s FY 2023 Budget includes $10.6M in PC&I funding for CIFS services and capabilities. This funding is necessary to support the resources

needed to adequately deliver required services supporting the migration for ICE FSM-Cube and for the achievement of planned program milestones.

These milestones include support for FSM solution configurations following Discovery, data cleansing, and IT infrastructure requirements. The FY

2023 investment assures that ICE can meet the DHS deployment timeline and larger enterprise investment plan.

FY 2021 Key Milestone Events

Premigration Activities:

Investment Description

The USC – Title 8 Aliens and Nationality (T-8) initiative, formerly known as Immigration Data Modernization (IDM), is a multi-year IT

modernization initiative providing incremental delivery of improved reporting capabilities, system enhancements, data analytics and reporting, data

governance process, and mission operational efficiencies in support of the Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO)’s mission. T-8 is an ERO

portfolio of projects for building data management tools to reduce redundant processes and enhance officer decision making. Government audits and

Congressional inquiries have highlighted ICE ERO deficiencies and vulnerabilities that the T-8 Portfolio addresses. The FY 2023 Budget continues

T-8’s multi-year IT modernization effort. In FY 2023, T-8 will focus on critical solutions lacking an enterprise IT system, such as Operations

Planning, Forms, Bonds, and Travel Documents.

The graphic that follows illustrates the details of the first deliverable within the portfolio and prioritizes the development of functionality based on

current IT system gaps, dependencies, benefits, risks, and ERO mission impacts. The T-8 Program 1 Roadmap consists of independent development

projects implemented on an integrated platform. The expected productivity improvements will have significant positive impacts across each phase of

ERO’s mission to identify, apprehend, and remove non-citizens more quickly and efficiently. These productivity improvements from the portfolio

include:

• Reduced incidence of user errors and user time to perform mission tasks;

• Improved user acceptance of the system;

• Eliminated paper and manual processes outside the official systems of record;

• Improved use of high-assurance identification and verification methods for individuals throughout the immigration lifecycle;

• Enabled access to changed data, reporting and analysis capabilities that support person-centric, event-centric, and attribute centric queries that are

timely, comprehensive, and accurate;

• Reduced the number of hours spent manually processing, reviewing, and disseminating the results of complex queries;

• Eliminated disjointed tasks and user environments, enabling field personnel to focus on value added activities, and;

• Enhanced data collection for comprehensive reporting.

Operational Communications/Information Technology – PPA T-8

ICE – PC&I - 24

Justification

The FY 2023 President’s Budget includes funding to complete several IT modernization efforts and begin development of the final projects under the

T-8 program, as defined by the roadmap above. The new IT platforms being used under T-8 have already demonstrated significant benefits in reducing

the time to plan, develop, and roll out critical applications. For example, T-8 took on unplanned requirements to develop the Field Office Appointment

Scheduler (FOAS) as a direct action to streamline some of the procedures for processing noncitizens reporting to ICE from U.S. Customs and Border

Protection (CBP) at the border. T-8 agreed to take on this new scope to help DHS meet significant increased demand because of the Southwest border

surge. FOAS was scoped, built, tested, and deployed in three months using new technology platforms and methods, where transition tools and methods

would have taken longer. T-8 will use FY 2023 funds to continue rapid development and deployment of new, mission critical applications to further

enhance ERO business processes and meet evolving mission needs.

FY 2021 Key Milestone Events

• Began development of the ICE Air Operations - Charter Program application.

• Designed and deployed the Arrest Approval Request Tool (AART) and FOAS in support of new Civil Immigration Enforcement Priorities and

the Southwest Border Initiative (new, unfunded requirements).

Significant Changes to Investment since Prior Year Enacted

T-8 funding was allotted in March 2020, which delayed the start of the T-8 Roadmap. Additionally, a request to accelerate the T-8 Program and Bed

Request Tracker development began in June 2020. This is scheduled to be completed by June 2022. Headquarters Analytics and Reporting for the T-8

Program has also been accelerated.

T-8 took on unplanned requirements in FY 2021 to meet emerging operational needs. First, T-8 developed and deployed the Activity Analysis and

Reporting Tool (AART) to support implementation of the new Civil Immigration Enforcement Priorities. AART facilitated a review and approval

process for certain enforcement actions, as defined by Secretary Mayorkas in FY 2021 Q2. In FY 2021 Q3, T-8 took on a requirement, FOAS, to

develop a scheduling system to streamline the processing of noncitizens and family units at the Southwest border and assist ERO field offices meeting

the demand for in-person appointments to process the immigration cases for those noncitizens and family units.

N/A - Mission Capacity Expansion Non-Major Non-IT No $51,761 $11,900 $14,200

Construction Description

This activity funds major tenant improvements at leased facilities for current and future staff, as well as for the acquisition, renovation, and

modification of both new and existing facilities in support of approved mission requirements or mission expansions.

Justification

The FY 2023 Budget includes $14.2M to support the following projects:

Project #1: OPLA Litigation Team Augmentation

Funding Requirement: The FY 2023 Budget includes $10.5M in support of OPLA facilities expansion projects, consistent with the DOJ’s EOIR

expansion in the following areas: San Francisco, CA; Queens/Long Island, NY; Raleigh/Durham, NC; and Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

Description: The DOJ EOIR’s footprint has outpaced OPLA’s requisite expansion. EOIR’s courtroom presence includes areas where ICE currently

has no OPLA personnel. Due to the nature of the court proceedings with heavy paper file requirements for proper representation, it is imperative for

OPLA attorneys to be in close proximity to EOIR courtrooms, dictating the need for additional facility space. OPLA will be located in the same

building as EOIR, or within 2 blocks.

Justification: The FY 2023 Budget addresses the required expansion of OPLA to maintain a presence in each EOIR courtroom to cover increased

workload and provide sufficient legal support staff supporting day-to-day legal proceedings and operations for timely case adjudication. Through

coordination with EOIR on anticipated locations for expansion, ICE has identified the following facility projects to be funded in FY 2023:

• San Francisco East Bay Area – $3.9M for 23 new EOIR courtrooms

• Queens/Long Island City – $2.4M for 13 new EOIR courtrooms

• Raleigh/Durham Area – $2.0M for 11 new EOIR courtrooms

• Ft. Lauderdale – $2.2M for 12 new EOIR courtrooms

Construction and Facility Improvements – PPA Mission Capacity Expansion

ICE – PC&I - 37

Impact: These facilities and commensurate additional staff enable OPLA to keep pace with an expanding EOIR footprint and increasing workload.

New facilities will provide OPLA with the necessary space for a sufficient number of attorneys to appear in new courtrooms, as well as support staff

to perform administrative legal tasks. Furthermore, they will increase representation of DHS priority cases, such as bond hearings and criminal

noncitizen cases involving terrorist or human rights abusers, enhance detection of immigration fraud, and curtail the granting of unentitled benefits to

immigration violators. This also supports the reduction in the backlog of more than 1.3M pending immigration cases, which currently can extend case

dispositions by years, and which only serves to increase number of individuals in the immigration enforcement lifecycle.

Project #2: Cybercrime Facility Expansion

Funding Requirement: The FY 2023 Budget includes $3.7M in support of HSI Cybercrime facility expansion project.

Description: The current HSI Victim Identification Lab space is too small and lacks the necessary upgrades in design and technology to quickly and

efficiently identify victims of crime. The current facility only accommodates six agents/analysts and has very limited space for equipment, supplies,

storage, and collaborative workspace. This expanded/upgraded lab will allow C3 to identify additional victims more quickly. This will expand the

existing lab by adding additional space and upgrading the design and technology of the lab, which will result in more than doubling the productivity

of the lab.

Justification: Over the past several years, the HSI, C3, Child Exploitation Investigations Unit has seen exponential growth in investigative leads that

require the use of the capabilities contained within the HSI Victim Identification Lab. Due to the sensitive nature of the material, this work must be

completed in space that is isolated from the rest of the office. This funding will allow HSI to build out space sufficiently for this critical function,

covering physical space build out, electrical upgrades, and furniture.

Construction and Facility Improvements – PPA Mission Capacity Expansion

ICE – PC&I - 38

Impact: This expansion would provide the HSI Victim Identification Lab with specialized mission space to address the increase in investigative

leads, personnel, and hardware requirements, which would directly lead to additional investigative leads to the field, a reduction in the backlog of

unidentified child exploitation victims, additional collaboration with our domestic and international partners, and to a direct increase in the emotional

wellbeing of the agents and analysts who work in this challenging space – all resulting in a projected 30 percent reduction in cycle-time to identify

victims and a more than doubling of the lab’s productivity. The Victim Identification Lab is a world-wide leader in child exploitation investigations

and the identification and rescue of victims of abuse and exploitation. This expansion would allow HSI to continue to grow and increase our

investigative capabilities and continue to be a leader in this investigative space. Further, this expansion aligns with the goals and objectives outlined

in the Department of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan and the Homeland Security Investigations, Cyber Strategic

Plan.

N/A - Critical Repair/Replacement Requirement Non-Major Non-IT No $21,500 $5,479 $60,565

Construction Description

The Critical Repair/Replacement Requirement provides resources to accomplish major repairs, renovations, and replacement of existing facilities

and/or critical building systems throughout ICE’s real property portfolio.

Funding for replacement, repairs, and improvements at ICE-owned facilities ensures ICE is able maintain the facilities necessary to process, detain,

and house noncitizens. As noncitizens pass through immigration proceedings, detention facilities enable ICE to keep immigration law violators in

custody during removal proceedings. ICE must provide accommodations in compliance with Performance Based National Detention Standards

(PBNDS), Federal and State occupational safety and health standards, and Federal and State environmental protection standards. In order to comply

with regulatory standards and pass audits and inspections, ICE must properly maintain, repair, and modernize its owned facilities portfolio. Funding is

required to prevent failure or breakdown of critical systems, such as heating and cooling, plumbing and sanitation, food services, security, and lighting.

Loss or major degradation of any one of these critical systems may necessitate a shutdown of the affected detention facility. Shutdown of a detention

facility requires the transfer of all detainees to contract detention facilities, which would be cost prohibitive and severely detrimental to ICE’s ability to

fulfill its mission. In some cases, ICE-owned facilities have exceeded their useful/service life and can no longer sustain current ICE missions. These

facilities are not economical to repair and must be demolished and replaced with new facilities that comply with modern building design, safety, and

environmental/sustainability standards.

Funding for replacement, repairs, and tenant improvements at ICE-leased facilities ensures the Agency has sufficient presence throughout the U.S. and

its Territories to conduct existing/ongoing investigative, removal, and legal missions. This often requires relocation from one or multiple existing

leased facilities to others due to expiring leases, market conditions, and/or local political climate. There are situations in which third party landlords

force ICE to relocate out of its current facility and a suitable in-kind replacement is subsequently required. ICE is also required to relocate from private

leases into Federal buildings at lease expiration provided the Federal building supports mission requirements. At the beginning of each new lease and

prior to occupancy, ICE must complete tenant improvements and associated build out to ensure the new facility can support ICE mission and

functional requirements.

Construction and Facility Improvements – PPA Critical Repair/Replacement Requirement

ICE – PC&I - 40

Justification

The FY 2023 Budget includes $60.6M to support the below projects. The ICE Office of Asset and Facility Management (OAFM) identified these

projects by working across ICE mission programs to define and prioritize owned and leased PC&I requirements and submitting projects to the Real

Property Investment Review Board to ensure alignment with Agency strategy.

Project #1: Construction of Administration Building, El Paso, TX

Funding Requirement: $24.5M to construct a new administration/command and control building at the El Paso Service Processing Center (SPC) to

replace the existing, outdated facility and temporary trailers located onsite.

Description: The new facility will be roughly 20,000 square feet and house ICE administrative functions and Field Office Director operations

supporting the SPC. The new building will also include a command center for the SPC, replacing the technologically obsolete command center that

exists today.

Justification: The current administration facility at the El Paso SPC was constructed in 1965 and is past its useful life. The building is only 6,600

square feet and cannot adequately support SPC administrative functions or operational functions at the SPC. The current building does not have a fire

sprinkler system, nor does it meet current accessibility (ADA) requirements. The existing command center relies on 20+ year old technology to

monitor perimeter security and operations in detainee areas and equipment frequently fails and/or needs to be replaced to maintain minimum

functionality.

Impact: A new administration building will greatly enhance safe and efficient operations at the SPC, which currently occur in several outdated

buildings. ICE staff spaces will be designed to meet current DHS and Agency space standards (i.e.,150 square feet per person) to optimize

occupancy, workflow, and utilization. The new facility will enable ERO El Paso to reduce suspense time a noncitizen is in a congregate setting by 50

percent while being processed by CBP. Sustainable design features will also be incorporated to reduce energy consumption, improve efficiency, and

comply with numerous Federal mandates. Finally, temporary facilities housing ICE staff will be demolished, eliminating the need for continued

repairs to keep SPC operations functional and the compound secure.

Project #2: Construction of New Medical/Dental Facility, El Paso, TX

Funding Requirement: $14.5M to construct a new medical/dental facility at the El Paso SPC to replace the existing, outdated facility.

Description: The new facility will be 17,000 square feet and include 15 beds consisting of: four isolation rooms with negative air pressure, four

examination rooms, seven rooms for patient care, and a pharmacy. The new building will also include two dental suites.

Justification: The existing medical/dental clinic cannot adequately support SPC operations housing 800+ detainees on a daily basis. The current

facility consists of one small building with few beds and one small dental area. It was built in the 1960s and is beyond its useful service life.

Impact: Funding a new medical/dental facility will allow ICE to adequately provide medical and dental treatment for detainees at the El Paso SPC

placed in our care. Sustainable design features will also be incorporated to reduce energy consumption, improve efficiency, and comply with

numerous Federal mandates.

Project #3: New Lease Tenant Improvements for ERO, OPLA, and HSI Colocation Facility, Newburgh, NY

Funding Requirement: $5.4M to provide tenant improvements to co-locate three ICE programs (ERO, OPLA, and HSI) at a newly leased space in

Newburgh, NY.

Description: This project will replace the expiring lease in Newburgh, NY for OPLA Deputy Chief Counsel’s office, the ERO Assistant Field Office

Director for Detention and Processing, and the HSI Resident Agent in Charge (RAC). The existing lease expires on April 30, 2025 and requires

OPLA, HSI, and ERO to relocate. The new co-located space will optimize requirements for all three program tenants in a single facility.

Justification: All three programs currently located in Newburgh, NY have outgrown their existing facility and will gain efficiencies by co-locating

into a single new facility. OPLA supports three EOIR Immigration Judge courts in the Newburgh area. ERO missions includes Institutional Removal

Program for two nearby State prisons, Criminal Apprehension Program, and Fugitive Operations Program for Northern NY counties. HSI missions

include all investigative, program functions, and law enforcement partnerships in Northern NY. No other ICE offices in NY can reasonably support

these programs, due to travel distances and logistical constraints. The existing ERO, HSI, and OPLA spaces are not sufficient to accommodate their

workforce and personnel do not have space to perform their duties. Co-locating these programs will enable numerous efficiencies through common

break rooms, conference rooms, and support areas. Implementing Workplace Transformation Initiative (WTI) and current ICE space design standards

will allow ICE to develop an optimized floor plan to meet mission needs while minimizing overall footprint requirements.

Impact: This project will enable ICE programs to relocate from facilities that no longer meet mission requirements. Co-locating these programs will

enable numerous efficiencies through common break rooms, conference rooms, and support areas. Implementing WTI and current ICE space design

standards will allow ICE to develop an optimized floor plan to meet mission needs while minimizing overall footprint requirements. Finally, rent

savings and net footprint reduction may also be realized by combining all programs into a single facility.

Project #4: New Lease Tenant Improvements for ERO and HSI Colocation Facility, Ogden, UT

Funding Requirement: $4.0M to provide tenant improvements to co-locate ICE ERO and HSI at a newly leased space in Ogden, UT.

Description: This project will replace an existing leased facility for the HSI RAC and ERO Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer (SDDO)

that does not meet current mission requirements. Additionally, the new lease space will include dedicated mission space for processing areas, holding

cells, and tactical law enforcement operations.

Justification: The HSI and ERO programs currently occupy a space in Ogden, UT which does not meet the requirements of the mission. Both

programs have outgrown their existing facility and will gain efficiencies by continuing to co-locate in a single new facility. ERO and HSI both

support the Quick Response Team (QRT) for six Northern UT counties. ERO supports institutional enforcement at six county jails, along with

detainee transfer from Idaho and Montana sub-offices. HSI supports law enforcement partnerships and task forces in Northern UT, including

narcotics, crimes against children, counter-proliferation, and human trafficking functions. Co-locating these programs will enable numerous

efficiencies in administrative areas through common break, conference rooms, and support areas.

Impact: This project will enable ICE programs to relocate a facility that no longer meets mission requirements. ERO needs increased detention

mission spaces that are currently inadequate and put officer safety at risk. HSI mission space will include essential HSDN and lab space that is

currently absent from the current location. Co-locating these programs will provide numerous efficiencies in administrative and common areas with

WTI. Further, ICE will achieve numerous efficiencies through use of current DHS and Agency space standards and WTI to optimize utilization,

workflow, and daily operations. Finally, rent savings and net footprint reduction may also be realized by combining both programs into a single

collocated facility.

Project #5: Tenant Improvements for ERO Facility in San Jose, CA

Funding Requirement: $3.6M to provide tenant improvements for a new ERO leased mission support facility in San Jose, CA.

Description: This project will replace an existing leased facility in Morgan Hill, CA. The current site includes administrative space only with the

lease expiring September 30, 2026. The new space will include administrative and detention space.

Justification: ERO is currently located in Morgan Hill, CA where the political climate has not allowed the construction of or operation of temporary

detention facilities. Although the lessor was willing to build out the space to include ERO’s detention requirements, the city would not provide

permits to do so. ICE had a signed lease based on the full requirement but has only been able to house administrative functions in Morgan Hill to

date. This requires ERO staff to travel over 70 miles each way to and from Stockton or San Francisco, CA to support detainee operations at the

closest available detention facility. The constant travel has created undue strain on mission effectiveness, Government resources, and staff morale.

Once a new space is ready, the Morgan Hill site will be released back to GSA.

Impact: This project will greatly improve ERO’s operational efficiency by combining administrative and detention-related functions into a single

facility. The new facility will avoid unnecessary time, money, wear and tear on vehicles, and inconvenience/risk to noncitizens being transported

long distances for processing.

Project #6: New Lease Tenant Improvements for HSI Facility, Irvine, CA

Funding Requirement: $3.3M for tenant improvements to support the consolidation of HSI Santa Ana and Laguna Niguel, CA offices. Staff and

functions will be relocated to a new leased facility in Irvine/Santa Ana, CA.

Description: This project will provide tenant improvements to consolidate HSI Orange County operations from the Chet Holifield Federal Building in

Laguna Niguel, CA and the Santa Ana Federal Building in Santa Ana, CA to a new single leased facility in Irvine, CA.

Justification: HSI staff performing critical mission support in the Southwest U.S. must relocate from the Chet Holifield Federal Building by the end

of 2023, since GSA has decided to close and exit this facility. The Santa Ana Federal Building does not have available space to expand or

reconfigure to absorb HSI staff and functions from Laguna Niguel. Further, the Santa Ana Federal Building has no on-site parking for Government

vehicles supporting HSI missions.

Impact: The consolidation of the Laguna Niguel and Santa Ana offices will result in a 32 percent reduction in square footage (from 29,001 USF to

19,821 USF) and avoid $0.3M in annual rent costs. This project will provide required tenant improvements to sustain HSI Orange County missions in

Irvine, CA and be fully operational prior to the Chet Holifield Federal Building closure.

Project #7: New Lease Tenant Improvements for HSI Facility, Rio Grande City, TX

Funding Requirement: $2.9M to provide tenant improvements to consolidate HSI at an existing leased facility in Rio Grande City, TX.

Description: This project will allow ICE to terminate an existing lease in Falcon Dam, TX and co-locate HSI tenants in an existing ICE leased facility

in Rio Grande City, TX.

Justification: HSI currently occupies a space with CBP in Falcon Dam, TX which does not meet the requirements of its Southwest border mission.

CBP recently performed a renovation of the space in Falcon Dam and reduced available square footage for HSI missions. The current location also

poses several challenges such as, limited evidence storage, radio communication dead zone, and it is not in proximity to State and local partners. As a

result, HSI is seeking to relocate and consolidate Falcon Dam functions to an existing Rio Grande City, TX leased facility. If project does not move

forward, HSI will be forced to split operations between Rio Grande City, TX and Falcon Dam, TX resulting in continued rent at two separate

locations, operational inefficiencies, and failure of the Falcon Dam facility to meet all mission requirements.

Impact: This project will enable HSI to relocate from a facility that no longer meets mission requirements. Further, it will enable HSI to consolidate

operations from two geographically separated facilities into one. Tenant improvements at Rio Grande City, TX facility will provide sufficient space

for expanded staff, mission support, and special use space such as technical laboratories, wire rooms, and an HSDN room. ICE will achieve

numerous efficiencies through use of current DHS and Agency space standards and WTI to optimize utilization, workflow, and daily operations.

Project #8: New Lease Tenant Improvements for ERO and HSI Colocation Facility, Wenatchee, WA

Funding Requirement: $2.4M to provide tenant improvements to co-locate ICE ERO and HSI at a newly leased space in Wenatchee, WA.

Description: This project will replace an existing leased facility for ERO and HSI that does not meet current seismic code requirements.

Justification: The current ICE colocation facility supporting ERO and HSI missions in Wenatchee, WA does not meet current seismic code

requirements and the lessor is unwilling/unable to perform the necessary upgrades to bring the facility into compliance. As a result, GSA cannot enter

into a long-term lease at this location due to potential life safety risks to occupants during an earthquake or other seismic event. The current lease

extension expires in 2024 and no further extensions can be granted. ERO requires a new facility to continue providing criminal apprehension and

non-detained coverage to three counties. Similarly, HSI provides investigation and law enforcement support to four counties, direct response to two

ports-of-entry, counter-narcotics, and crimes against children support. There are no other ICE facilities in the proximity that can support these

functions on either a short or long-term basis.

Impact: This project will enable ICE programs to relocate from a facility that is no longer safe to occupy without interruption to critical mission

support. Further, ICE will achieve numerous efficiencies through use of current DHS and Agency space standards and WTI to optimize utilization,

workflow, and daily operations.

Fee Authority: 8 U.S.C. 1356: 8 CFR Part 2: The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), codified under Title 8 USC Sec. 1356(d), provides the

authority to impose user fees for travelers arriving in the United States by a commercial vessel or commercial aircraft at U.S.-operated air and sea

ports of entry (POEs), including the Immigration Inspection User Fee (IIUF). The IIUF is currently set at $7 for passengers arriving via an air or sea

POE when the trip originated abroad, and $3 for passengers arriving at a sea POE when the trip originated in the United States, Mexico, or Canada.

Fee Uses: IIUF collections provide budgetary resources that helps fund frontline mission activities of both U.S. Customs and Border Protections

(CBP) and ICE. Specifically, IIUF finances a portion of CBP, and ICE expenses related to deterring, detecting, detaining, adjudicating, and removing

passengers attempting to make unauthorized arrivals or bring noncitizens unlawfully into the United States through air and sea POEs.

Although proceeds to ICE are governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1356(h)(2)(A), the use of user fees is governed by section 1356(i). That section states, in

relevant part: “only to the extent provided in appropriations Acts, any amounts collected under this subsection shall be credited as offsetting

collections to the currently applicable appropriation, account, or fund of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, remain available until expended,

and be available for the purposes for which such appropriation, account, or fund is authorized to be used.”

Fees are collected by CBP from foreign passengers arriving on commercial aircraft and vessels at U.S.-operated air and sea POEs. In FY 2023, CBP

will receive 82.6 percent of total collections. ICE will receive 17.4 percent. Estimates remain at current statutorily established levels.

The U.S. response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, notably border closures, has had a significant, adverse impact on the receipts CBP receives. This

impacts ICE and its planning for applying of its IIUF proceeds amongst ICE Directorates and Programs. This request presents a pre-Pandemic

scenario during which ICE would seek to leverage $135 million in IIUF allotments to programs. In FY 2021, ICE allotted only to ERO and to HSI,

preserving fee balances for exigent circumstances, and continues to prioritize these two Program areas into FY 2022. ICE will keep the Committees

on Appropriations advised of the receipt profile during FY 2022 and any adverse impacts to ICE programs resulting from a continuation of reduced

fee proceeds into FY 2023.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Immigration Inspection User Fees

ICE – IIUF - 4

IIUF reimburses costs incurred in four ICE Directorates within the O&S appropriation. ICE determines the allocation of IIUF for each Program,

Project, and Activity (PPA) based on the level of activity each program contributes toward related work, as determined by the annual ICE

Immigration User Fee Study. The PPAs include:

• Mission Support: IIUF funds the expansion, operation, and maintenance of information systems for non-immigrant control and debt collection.

Funds also sustain Mission Support activities indirectly associated with the detection, detention, adjudication, and removal of noncitizen

criminals and those illegally present in the U.S, as well as for any purpose for which the Mission Support PPA appropriation is authorized to be

used.

• Office of Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA): IIUF collections compensate OPLA for costs incurred for removal and asylum proceedings of

inadmissible noncitizens arriving on commercial aircraft and vessels. Funds also support immigration removal proceedings resulting from drug

possession, presentation of fraudulent documents and/or failure to present documentation, as well as those for any noncitizen who is inadmissible

under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a) for having attempted illegal entry into the United States through avoidance of immigration inspection at air or sea

POEs, as well as for any purpose for which the OPLA PPA appropriation is authorized to be used.

• Homeland Security Investigations (HSI): IIUF funds activities related to the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to

the United States, including for the training of and technical assistance to commercial airline personnel regarding such detection. Additionally,

funds are used to cover the operational costs that support investigations of noncitizens arrested at air or sea POEs, and for the development of

Homeland Security Intelligence Reports that support CBP inspection and pre-inspection activities. IIUF collections also partially reimburse base

funding to cover fuel and maintenance costs for vehicles, as well as for any purpose for which the HSI PPA appropriation is authorized to be

used.

• Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO): IIUF funds detention and removal services for inadmissible noncitizens arriving on commercial

aircraft and vessels, and for any noncitizen who is inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a) for having attempted illegal entry into the United States

through avoidance of inspection at an air or sea POE. In FY 2023, the ERO IIUF allocation to Custody Operations will fund an estimated 1,253

of 25,000 adult detention beds, at an average daily rate of $148.62. The remaining 23,747 adult detention beds are funded by ICE’s O&S

appropriation and from the Breached Bond Detention Fund account. IIUF collections also may partially reimburse base funding to cover fuel and

maintenance costs for vehicles, as well as for any purpose for which the ERO PPA appropriation is authorized to be used.

Change Mechanism: Any proposed fee amount changes must be submitted by legislative proposal.

Previous Changes: Amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act. 8 U.S.C. 1356, passed in 1986, allowed the INS to begin charging a fee for

the inspection of passengers on commercial aircraft or vessels. The fee was initially set at $5.00 per passenger in 1986, increased to $6.00 per

passenger in 1993 and to $7.00 per passenger in May 2002. The legislation that increased the fee to $7.00 introduced a second fee of $3.00 per

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Immigration Inspection User Fees

ICE – IIUF - 5

passenger effective February 27, 2003. This second fee applied to vessel passengers whose journey originated in the United States, Canada, or

Mexico. Passengers to whom the $3.00 fee applied had previously been exempt.

Recovery Rate: The fee rate does not properly recover the cost of the activities being conducted, but supplements other appropriated and non-

appropriated sources.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers

Detention Beds / Guards / Noncitizen Welfare (Adult): Adult detention costs have several components, including detention bed acquisition, guard

services, detainee meals, welfare items, health care, and other indirect costs. The FY 2023 Budget requests funding for 25,000 adult beds. A total of

23,010 adult detention beds are funded within ICE’s O&S appropriation, with the remaining 1,990 funded by fee accounts. In FY 2023, ICE will use

IIUF collections to fund the equivalent of 1,253 adult detention beds at an average daily rate of $148.62 for direct costs.

Headquarters Contracts: These contracts provide support for investigative activities and include but are not limited to: Title-III wiretap contracts;

multiple tracking and data analysis systems; and consolidated IT equipment purchases.

Permanent Change of Station (PCS): PCS includes the costs associated with relocating employees to domestic or overseas offices.

Fleet/Fuel: IIUF funds partially reimburse base-appropriated expenses to cover fuel and maintenance costs for over 6,000 ICE vehicles.

Other Costs: Other costs include one-time charges for travel, temporary duty travel (TDY), rental utilities, and equipment.

Fee Authority:

The Breached Bond Detention Fund (BBDF) is authorized in Section 112 of the Department of Justice Appropriations Act of 1993 (P.L. 102-395).

This Act amended Section 286 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, as amended, by establishing in the General Fund of the Treasury, a

separate account to be called the Breached Bond Detention Fund. Pursuant to statute, ICE remits the first $8.0M collected to the General Fund of the

U.S. Treasury. All additional collections are deposited into the BBDF, and amounts remain available until expended. There are two sources of

revenue for the BBDF:

1. Immigration bonds posted for the release of noncitizens detained by Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) field offices, as authorized by

Title 8 of C.F.R. Subsection 103.6; and,

2. Application fees authorized by Section 245(i) of the Legal Immigrant and Family Equity (LIFE) Act.

Fee Uses: The BBDF provides budgetary resources for detention bed expenses and other Bond Management Unit (BMU) costs incurred by ERO.

The fund covers collection, bond management, detention, and litigation activities. Litigation activities target compliance from surety companies

found to be delinquent in meeting their obligations. ERO’s BMU administers the BBDF and supports field operations by providing guidance related

to immigration bond management. The BMU also ensures compliance with bond laws, regulations, policies, and procedures through training, site

visits, and technical oversight. The BMU coordinates with other ICE programs to facilitate the timely resolution of bond litigation issues, as well as

for financial reporting.

The BBDF offsets costs incurred in the ERO Directorate within ICE’s O&S appropriation. ERO uses BBDF collections as follows:

• Supporting the detention of noncitizens, including for related costs such as health care and non-bed general expenses;

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Breached Bond Detention Fund

ICE – BBDF - 4

• Financing the collection of breached bonds, bond management, and litigation activities to target compliance from surety companies found to be

delinquent in meeting their obligations; and

• BMU administrative support, including mission related travel, training, bond reviews, and IT systems requirements.

In FY 2023, ICE plans to use BBDF collections to fund 737 of the requested 25,000 adult detention beds at an average daily rate of $148.62 for direct

costs, provided proceeds materialize. The remaining 24,263 adult detention beds will be funded from the O&S appropriation and from Immigration

Inspection User Fee (IIUF) proceeds collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Change Mechanism: Any proposed changes in the amounts designated in the annual President’s Budget require an authorization from the Office of

Management and Budget.

Previous Changes: In 1998, Immigration Detention Account receipts merged into this account. Congress enacted the LIFE Act, which extended the

eligibility date for 245(i) of the INA from 1998 to 2000.

Recovery Rate: Title 8 does not specify whether the intention of this fee was full cost recovery. Pursuant to statute, all fees in excess of the first

$8.0M are available until expended. Fees are not set based on expected costs.

Fee Authority: 8 U.S.C. § 1372(e):

The Secretary of Homeland Security is specifically authorized to collect fees for the Student and Exchange Visitor program (SEVP) from prospective

F and M students, and J exchange visitors, subject to certain limits for certain J-1 noncitizens, per 8 U.S.C. § 1372(e)(1). Further, Section 286(m) of

the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) authorizes the Secretary to collect fees for adjudication and naturalization services at a level that would

ensure recovery of the full costs of providing such services. All fees collected are deposited as offsetting receipts into the Immigration Examinations

Fee Account (INS section 286(m)(n)) and are available until expended.

Fee Uses: SEVP is an enforcement program that helps to keep the United States safe while facilitating the participation of non-U.S. students and

exchange visitors in domestic academic programs. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) uses SEVP funds to enhance national security by

collecting, maintaining, and providing reliable information on foreign students, exchange visitors, and the schools and exchange programs hosting

participants. The HSI National Security Investigations Division (NSID) administers SEVP, which includes overseeing the School Certification

Program and managing the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), a web-based system for maintaining information on

international students and exchange visitors who have been approved to work while in their program. HSI uses SEVP funds to collect, maintain,

analyze, and provide information so that only legitimate foreign students or exchange visitors can gain entry to the United States. HSI also uses

SEVP resources to verify that the over one million international students and their dependents holding temporary visas in the United States comply

with U.S. laws, to enforce compliance with school certification programs, and to work with NSID partners to reduce both the risk of benefit fraud and

the exploitation of the student visa system.

Change Mechanism: The Secretary is authorized to periodically revise program participation fees, with certain exceptions, to consider changes in

the overall cost of carrying out the program.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Student and Exchange Visitor Program

ICE – SEVP - 4

Previous Changes: After an internal review to determine if existing fees would cover the full cost of operations, ICE proposed to adjust SEVP fees

and to receive public comment via a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register. The fee increase was approved by the Secretary of

Homeland Security, effective June 24, 2019.

Recovery Rate: Section 286(m) of the INA authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to collect fees for adjudication and naturalization services

at a level that would ensure recovery of the full costs of providing such services, including the costs of providing similar services without charge to

asylum applicants and certain other noncitizens. Additionally, pursuant to INA section 286(m), the level that is set may include recovery of any

additional costs associated with the administration of the fees themselves. Section 51.13 of OMB Circular A-11, Preparation, Submission and

Execution of the Budget, December 2019, directs agencies to develop user charge estimates based on the full cost recovery policy set forth in OMB

Circular A-25, User Charges (budget formulation and execution policy regarding user fees). SEVP is intended to be full-cost recovery. Over the FY

2014 – FY 2020 timeframe, SEVP fees collected have not been sufficient to provide full-cost recovery in all years due to drawbacks, recoveries, and

variability in collections. Additionally, the adverse impacts presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent decline in SEVP participation had

negative impacts on receipts beginning in FY 2022 and on into FY 2021.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers

Criminal Investigators: SEVP law enforcement officers (LEOs) protect national security by collecting, maintaining, and providing reliable

information on foreign students, exchange visitors, and the schools and programs that host them. LEOs also enforce compliance with school

certification programs and work with the HSI Counterterrorism and Criminal Exploitation Unit (CTCEU) to reduce the risk of benefit fraud and the

exploitation of the student visa system. CTCEU uses risk-based targeting of enforcement leads related to school fraud and exploitation of our

immigration system by students. LEOs work to identify leads and actionable criminal/administrative investigations which have a nexus to F, M, and J

visas. These leads are developed into cases of fraud, visa overstay, and counterterrorism.

Non-LEOs: Non-LEOs support SEVP LEOs in collecting, maintaining, and providing reliable information on foreign students. Over one million

international students and their dependents already hold temporary visas and SEVP Non-LEOs play an integral role in managing this program

element.

Fee Authority: The U.S. Attorney General may stay the removal of a noncitizen arriving at an air or seaport of entry (POE) when the noncitizen is

needed to testify in the prosecution of a person for a violation of law of the U.S. of any State. Section 241(c)(2)(C)(i) of the Immigration and

Nationality Act provides the Attorney General the authority to release the noncitizen upon the individual’s filing of a bond not less than $1,500, and

Section 241(c)(2)(C)(iii) allows the Attorney General to prescribe additional conditions.

Under these circumstances, a noncitizen may request release by submitting an Application for Stay of Removal and pay the release bond. The

individual may request a length of stay for up to one year. Anything over one year must be renewed by filing a new application. The Application for

Stay of Deportation or Removal (I-246) fee – currently $155 per application – is collected and deposited into the Immigration Examination Fee

Account (Title 8 USC Sec. 1356(m) and (n)). U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) collected these fees prior to FY 2009, but the

Detention and Removal Office (DRO) Fee’s collections were transitioned to ICE in FY 2009. ICE began accounting for this fee account formally in

the FY 2022 President’s Budget submission. Cases and application statuses—I-246, in conjunction with other relevant ICE forms—are monitored

for compliance by the Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Field Offices at which they are filed and submitted.

Fee Uses: DRO fee collections cover the costs incurred by DRO during a stay of deportation or removal. The collections are also used to fund some

Custody Operations non-bed general expenses (GE).

Change Mechanism: While there is no legislative requirement to adjust the fee, any fee changes must be published in the Federal Register.

Previous Changes: There are no known previous changes.

Recovery Rate: Because obligations in this mandatory account are historically minimal, the costs are known to be fully recovered.
