abstract: Primary: State and Local
Correctional Facilities. 8 U.S.C. 1231(a)
gives the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) authority to
remove criminal aliens who have been
ordered as such. DHS/ICE is improving
community safety by transforming the
way the federal government cooperates
with state and local law enforcement
agencies to identify, detain, and remove
all criminal aliens held in custody.
Secure Communities (SC) revolutionizes
immigration enforcement by using
technology to share information
between law enforcement agencies and
by applying risk-based methodologies to
focus resources on assisting all local
communities with removing high-risk
criminal aliens. In order for the Secure
Communities Initiative to meet its goals,
ICE must collect detailed business
requirements and input from its state
and local law enforcement partners. ICE
will interview law enforcement officials
at a combined 7,000 state and local jails
across the United States as part of the
Secure Communities Initiative. The
collection instruments are transitioning
from the currently approved paper
based format to the implementation of
technology permitting electronic
submissions of responses. This

assessment determines the fingerprint
procedures and technological
capabilities of state and local jails
governance, as well as basic jail booking
statistics. This information is used in
order to prioritize local sites and deliver
the implementation strategy of the
Secure Communities Initiative.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: 7,000 responses at 20 minutes
