U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Identification of Criminal Aliens in Federal and State Custody Eligible for Removal from the United States

摘要

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Criminal Alien Program is responsible for identifying criminal aliens incarcerated in federal, state, and local prisons and jails who are eligible for removal from the United States. The objective of our audit was to determine whether the Criminal Alien Program is identifying all criminal aliens incarcerated in federal and state custody who are eligible for removal. We reviewed a sample of foreign-born inmates released in fiscal year 2009 from federal facilities nationwide and from state facilities in California, Florida, New York, and Texas.
