What are the different programs and initiatives that ICE is involved in?

ICE is actively engaged in several programs and initiatives to ensure the safety and security of the United States. These include the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) program, which combats transnational crime and smugglers involved in drug and human trafficking. ICE also administers the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), overseeing foreign students in the U.S. to maintain compliance with visa regulations. The Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) enforces immigration laws through detention and deportation of those who pose a threat. Additionally, ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) runs initiatives like Operation Predator to tackle child exploitation and human trafficking. They further coordinate with local law enforcement agencies through the 287(g) program, training officers to identify and process immigration violators. These vital programs enable ICE to safeguard national security and protect vulnerable populations.
