Strategy to Accelerate and Expand Secure Communities
The Secure Communities strategy entails several steps to responsibly accelerate the development and expansion of the plan. With this approach we focus first on the most dangerous criminal aliens in locations where analysis determines they are most likely to reside. Prioritized deployment will deliver biometric identification to jurisdictions with the highest percentages of criminal aliens in the United States. Specifically we will:
- Use modeling techniques to prioritize deployment to locations with the greatest amount of violent crimes committed by foreign-born persons.
- Use modeling techniques to determine optimal transportation modes, logistics, and bed space capacity, and procure the right resources necessary to manage increased capacity throughout the immigration system.
- Strengthen coordination of ICE efforts to prioritize apprehension and removal of at-large criminal aliens (those not currently in custody
- Work with related programs, both within ICE and beyond, to identify additional process improvements.
