I returned to help ICE grow Secure Communities because I believe it will make a difference.

Marc Rapp, Deputy Director
Marc Rapp, Deputy Director My name is Marc Rapp and I am the Deputy Director of the Secure Communities Program. My 14 years in law enforcement have given me opportunities to work on the cutting edge of identifying and removing criminal aliens. I began my career at the Immigration and Naturalization Service. When DHS was formed, I began working at ICE for the immigration investigations process center, which I found very exciting because the sense of accomplishment I felt when I removed a violent criminal alien. I then worked in the field for Fugitive Operations, were I investigated criminal aliens, sexual offenders, and other at-large fugitive criminal aliens. When ICE introduced CAP, I was on the transition team from OI to DRO, and helped develop the new CAP program. My career in identifying and removing criminal aliens led me to Secure Communities, were I get to help improve the identification and removal of criminal aliens by implementing biometric technologies that help law enforcement agencies perform better and more efficiently. At Secure Communities, I am working on yet another frontier of immigration enforcement.
