Marc Rapp, Acting Executive Director
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 for the ICE immigration investigations process center, which I found very exciting because of the sense of accomplishment I felt when I removed a violent criminal alien. I then worked in the field for Fugitive Operations, where I investigated criminal aliens, sexual offenders, and other at-large fugitive criminal aliens. I was on the transition team from the Office of Investigations to the Office of Detention and Removal Operations during which time I helped develop the Criminal Alien Program (CAP). My career in identifying and removing criminal aliens led me to the Secure Communities initiative, where I contribute to the identification and removal of criminal aliens by implementing biometric technologies to help law enforcement agencies improve performance and increase the efficiency with which they remove criminal aliens. At the Secure Communities Program Management Office, I am thoroughly excited to continue to work on the cutting-edge of identifying and removing criminal aliens.
