The government bureaucracy of immigration enforcement changes with the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after 9/11:
* US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) enforces and processes applications for visas, asylum, and citizenship.
* US Customs and Border Protection (USCBBP) is in charge of enforcing trade and immigration law at the border.
* US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforces immigration law throughout the country. |
