ICE prioritizes removing criminal aliens
Since ICE was established in March 2003, the agency has removed hundreds of thousands of aliens, some of whom fall under the category of high-profile removals.
High-profile removals are not only a danger to communities, but they also pose a threat to the officers who apprehend them and ERO officers who escort them back to their home countries, which may be as close as Mexico or as far as Yemen, Iraq, Rwanda and the Czech Republic.
