How ICE finds criminal suspects living illegally in US
NewsNation got an exclusive inside look at ICE’s elite squad of officers responsible for identifying threats to national security.

There are accused and convicted criminals living in the United States illegally, and it’s up to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to track those people down — a difficult task made harder by sanctuary policies in some areas. ICE’s targets are not just any undocumented immigrants, but those the agency deems public safety threats.
“Public safety threats are the people that are a problem,” Chicago acting field office director LaDeon Francis told NewsNation. “They’re the ones that you don’t want back into the community.”
NewsNation national correspondent Alex Caprariello spent two days riding along with the elite Enforcement and Removal Operations team in Chicago as they conducted surveillance and arrests of undocumented immigrants with criminal records.
