ICEPIC

Immigration and Customs Enforcement Pattern Analysis and Information Collection System (ICEPIC)

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ICEPIC Program has been authorized to address the ICE requirement for disrupting and preventing terrorism activities. The mission of ICE is to investigate possible violations of U.S. customs and immigration law as well as identify possible terrorist threats and plots. ICEPIC assists ICE in achieving this mission by helping to identify suspicious identities and discovering possible non-obvious relationships among individuals and organizations. All ICEPIC activity is predicated on valid and ongoing law enforcement investigations.

The program currently includes five main business processes:
 Receipt of leads, inquiries, referrals, law enforcement and intelligence reports, and queries of ICE and DHS databases to locate relevant records and reports
Integration and validation of information from multiple ICE and DHS databases to provide leads for investigation and disruption of potential terrorist activities
Initiation and monitoring of investigative cases in ICE field offices
Production and dissemination of target indicator profiles and other intelligence
Management of program workflows and resources

Paramount to meeting all of the ICEPIC goals is the ability to gather, analyze, distribute, and share intelligence and other information throughout ICE.

History of Program

ICE’s mission is to investigate possible violations of U.S. customs and immigration laws. Many times this involves hours of analysis regarding a particular case or operation. As part of the investigative process analysts and investigators must identify and understand the relationships among individuals, places, and items that are the subject of investigation.

ICE analyzes relationships among individuals using conventional database queries and link analysis tools; however, traditional link analysis tools rely on the consistency of key data, such as names and addresses, to establish relationships. If the source data is of poor quality or an individual seeks to conceal his/her identity through intentional, but subtle, changes to names, addresses, and other biographic information, then conventional tools are less effective at recognizing relationships. As a result, investigators and analysts may miss important relationships among suspects, family members, other associates, organizations, addresses, and vehicles.

ICEPIC allows ICE law enforcement investigators and analysts to look for non-obvious relationship patterns among individuals and organizations that are indicative of violations of the customs and immigration laws that are enforced by DHS agencies, as well as possible terrorist threats and plots. From these relationships, ICE investigators and analysts can develop specific leads and law enforcement intelligence for active and new investigations.

Program Capabilities

Modular set of information analysis tools that allow disparate sources of information to be analyzed to find previously unknown relationship data about individuals who are the subject of ongoing and valid investigations.
Relationship data comprises information about how a place, person, or thing (e.g., automobile or other piece of property) relates to other persons, places, or things.
For example, ICEPIC can determine relationship data about how certain events occurred at a certain address, or certain individuals under investigation who have shared the same address in the past. ICEPIC capabilities assist investigators in recording results of analyses performed during investigations. All ICEPIC searches are conducted with the appropriate predicate for a search (i.e., ongoing investigation into a violation of law).
ICEPIC does not make predictive analysis and presents information that is already available to ICE investigators/analysts, but in an organized fashion and in a manner that highlights connections between information.
All search results returned in ICEPIC are directly traceable to their source. Data is not commingled as to allow information to be vague as to its source. Records created by a user in ICEPIC would already be captured by other existing information systems.
Given time any investigator/analyst could produce the same relationship data developed in ICEPIC searches; ICEPIC merely automates any relationship or connection data analysis. Relevance of any data to an ongoing investigation is determined by ICE investigator/analysts, not by ICEPIC.
ICEPIC does not make determinations or advocate choices of action regarding individuals; investigators/analysts are responsible for making conclusions and taking action, if any, based on their experience and professional judgment.

System Modules
 Case Management Virtual System – provides a collaborative work area to store information that may be useful in following months or years.
Batch Run Capability – capable of running millions of records against millions of records.
Individual Queries – is able to search by name/number/address/etc.
Non-obvious Links – is able to show connections between entities across databases.
Visual Analysis – allows users to create visual links quickly.
Investigative Leads – is able to take vague intelligence and make it actionable.

Identity and Benefit Fraud Unit - IBFU

Identity and Benefit Fraud



ICE places a high priority on investigating document and benefit fraud. These types of fraud pose a severe threat to national security and public safety because they create a vulnerability that may enable terrorists, criminals and illegal aliens to gain entry to and remain in the United States.

Document and benefit fraud are elements of many immigration-related crimes, such as human smuggling and human trafficking, critical infrastructure protection, worksite enforcement, visa compliance enforcement and national security investigations.

Document fraud, also known as identity fraud, is the manufacturing, counterfeiting, alteration, sale, and/or use of identity documents and other fraudulent documents to circumvent immigration laws or for other criminal activity. Identity fraud in some cases also involves identity theft, a crime in which an imposter takes on the identity of a real person (living or deceased) for some illegal purpose.

Benefit fraud is the willful misrepresentation of material fact on a petition or application to gain an immigration benefit. Benefit fraud can be an extremely lucrative form of white-collar crime, often involving sophisticated schemes and multiple co-conspirators. These schemes can take years to investigate and prosecute.

ICE’s Identity and Benefit Fraud Unit (IBFU) is charged with investigating and disrupting document and benefit fraud schemes. IBFU coordinates its investigative efforts with other DHS components, such as U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, as well as other federal agencies such as the U. S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Labor.

IBFU also develops and advances policy initiatives and proposes legislative changes to address vulnerabilities in the immigration process to deter fraud and reduce the incentives for committing document and benefit fraud.



Operation Genesius

Operation Genesius was launched in 2009 as a voluntary partnership with the printing industry to share information and develop investigative leads about the practices of organized document fraud rings. Operation Genesius is based upon a similar and successful voluntary partnership project between the London Metropolitan Police Department and printing companies that affords an opportunity for the printing industry to collaborate with ICE to identify and disrupt document fraud.

ICE Forensic Document Lab - FDL

Forensic Document Lab


ICE’s Forensic Document Lab (FDL), established in 1978, is one of the federal government’s top tools for combating document fraud. Contemporary publishing tools and printing technology have made it easier than ever for criminal organizations to develop fraudulent documentation, travel documents, IDs and related materials with higher quality and at lower cost. These materials are used to facilitate border crossings, identity theft and employment schemes by illegal workers and for other criminal purposes.

The FDL provides a wide range of forensic and investigative services, including comparative examinations of handwriting and printing samples, forensic examinations of foreign and domestic documents, restoration of altered or damaged documents to assist in investigations, source identification, fingerprint examinations and expert witness testimony in court proceedings.

The FDL also maintains the world’s largest known repository of foreign travel and identity documents and reference materials. FDL representatives develop and present customized training programs to law enforcement agencies around the globe on the detection of fraudulent documents and provide real-time assistance to field personnel in the identification of fraudulent documents. In addition, they create and distribute Document Intelligence Alerts – color photo bulletins highlighting fraudulent documents recently encountered – and reference guides for law enforcement agencies nationwide.

The FDL is the only federal crime laboratory dedicated to exclusively examine travel and identity documents. Its highly trained staff provides a wide variety of forensic document analysis and support services to all Department of Homeland Security agencies, as well as other federal, state, local and foreign governmental entities. The FDL is a fully accredited crime laboratory by the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board.

Law enforcement personnel seeking assistance in identifying the various documents associated with travel, employment and identity should refer to Form M-396, "A Guide to Selected U.S. Travel and Identity Documents" (2008 revision). Copies can be obtained through the National Distribution Center, by completing the following forms and faxing them to 317-290-3046.

Document and Benefit Fraud Task Forces

Document & Benefit Fraud Task Forces


Document and benefit fraud pose a severe threat to national security and public safety because they create a vulnerability that may enable terrorists, criminals and illegal aliens to gain entry to and remain in the United States. One of the ways U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) addresses the infrastructure of illegal immigration is by detecting and deterring fraud before it erodes the integrity of the immigration process.

Established in April 2006, the Document and Benefit Fraud Task Forces (DBFTFs), led by ICE, detect, deter and disrupt document and benefit fraud.

Investigators from a variety of agencies with expertise in different aspects of fraud collaborate with U.S. Attorneys Offices around the country to formulate a comprehensive approach to targeting criminal organizations and the beneficiaries behind these fraudulent schemes.

DBFTF partners vary from task force to task force, but can include agencies such as U.S. Attorneys Offices, the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Social Security Administration, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the U.S. Department of State and various state and local law enforcement agencies. Each of these agencies has a different area of expertise and knowledge, and their contributions enable the DBFTFs to conduct more comprehensive investigations.
