About ERO:
ICE personnel make enforcement decisions professionally and responsibly, using their knowledge as law enforcement officials and acting in a way that best protects the country from the most significant threats.
Federal immigration judges who have put noncitizens in removal proceedings are given a fair trial in immigration courts under the supervision of the Executive Office for Immigration Review, or EOIR, of the Justice Department.
EOIR is a section of the US Department of Justice that operates independently from DHS and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Immigration judges in these courts base their decisions on the merits of each specific case. Agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement carry out the removal decisions by federal immigration judges.
In the fiscal year 2021, ERO imprisoned 12,025 persons who had received severe criminal convictions. In FY 2021, arrested noncitizens were linked to an estimated 1,506 homicide-related offences, 3,415 sexual assaults, 19,549 assaults, 2,717 robberies, and 1,063 kidnappings.
American immigration law is upheld inside and outside our borders by the ERO directorate of ICE. People who represent a threat to public safety are the focus of ERO operations.
It includes gang members, criminal noncitizens, and people who have transgressed other immigration laws, such as people who have returned to the country illegally after being expelled or people who federal immigration judges want.

ERO is responsible for managing all steps in the immigration enforcement process, including detention, supervised release, transportation, identification and arrest, and removal.
