National Security
The National Security Division monitors the conduct of field enforcement operations in the investigation, detection, interdiction, prosecution, and removal of alien terrorists, terrorist supporters, and hostile foreign intelligence agents located within the United States. This branch also has operational oversight of all ICE Special Agents assigned to the 66 FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTF), provides continuous support to all counter-terrorism investigations and ICE field offices supporting those counter-terrorism efforts and provides actionable proactive counter-terrorism lead information, in furtherance of preventing and disrupting alien terrorist cells domestically and abroad.
The protection of our National Security is a fundamental facet of ICE’s mission. There are several mechanisms currently in place for the monitoring and safeguarding of National Security.
