The primary responsibility of DRO is to identify, apprehend and remove illegal aliens from the United States. This requires DRO to facilitate the processing of illegal aliens through immigration courts, and to enforce their removal from the United States.
Key elements in exercising those responsibilities include: identifying and removing all high-risk illegal alien fugitives and absconders; ensuring that those aliens who have already been identified as criminals are expeditiously removed; and to develop and maintain a robust removals program with the capacity to remove all final order cases - thus precluding growth in the illegal alien absconder population.
Simply stated, DRO's ultimate goal is to develop the capacity to identify and remove all removable aliens.
Generally, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) grants aliens the right to a removal proceeding before an immigration judge to decide both inadmissibility and deportability. Aliens can be removed for reasons of health, criminal status, economic well-being, national security risks and other reasons of public concern that are specifically defined in the Act.
Immigration judges, employed by the Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) weigh evidence presented by both the alien and ICE, assesses the facts and renders a decision that can be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals.
If the immigration judge issues a decision ordering the alien removed from the United States, DRO is responsible to enforce the removal order. The process includes coordination and liaison with foreign government officials and embassies to obtain travel documents and country clearances, coordinating complex logistical and transportation issues to repatriate the alien and, if required DRO officers escort the alien to his or her foreign country.
Fugitive Operations
The removal of criminal aliens from the United States is a national priority. To address this priority, DRO designed the National Fugitive Operations Program (NFOP). Its mission is to identify, apprehend, and remove from the United States aliens who have failed to surrender for removal or to comply with a removal order. NFOP teams work exclusively on fugitive cases, giving priority to the public safety concerns of criminal aliens cases.
The "Absconder Apprehension Initiative" uses the data available from National Crime Information Center databases as a virtual force multiplier. As part of the Alien Absconder Initiative, DRO developed and coordinated the "ICE Most Wanted" program. This program publicizes the names, faces and other identifying features of the 10 most wanted fugitive criminals by ICE.

These guys and gals try to do a job their bosses and the political elite do not want done..
May God Protect them and give them great success.
Fellas (and Gals)
Every illegal you get out of the US:
Increases the chances a willing but unemployed American has of getting a job.
Increases the wages of American Workers across the board.
Decreases the chance American Citizens will be the victims of criminal acts by the illegal population..
Somewhere a little American girl or boy is alive, safe and at home because you apprehended a criminal illegal alien predator.
Somewhere a small businessman or women’s company which has made the effort to abide by the law and not hire illegals for labor, is still in business and competative.
Some where due to your efforts to arrest and deport criminal aliens a young boy does not sit in a hospital ICU head smashed, part of his leg missing, crippled for life because a criminal alien contemptuous of our laws chose not to stop at a stop light where cars were already lined up and stopped across two lanes of traffic.
Forget the US Chamber of Commerce, forget the Pofessional racists. Forget the corrupt Politician.
ICE to the largely silent majority, To America’s honest productive working folk of any race..you are unsung heroes.
Thank you for all your efforts..
Keep it up and stay safe.
