States Immigration Customs and Enforcement--011 Immigration and 
Enforcement Operational Records System of Records

AGENCY: Privacy Office, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of amendment of Privacy Act system of records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of

system of records is being modified to propose a new routine use that 
supports ICE's sharing of information with domestic law enforcement 
agencies when an alien who has been convicted of a violent or serious 
crime is released from ICE custody or removed from the United States. 
The exemptions for the existing system of records notice will continue 
to be unchanged. This updated system will continue to be included in 
the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of record systems.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the 
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) U.S. Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement (ICE) is updating and reissuing a current DHS system of 
records titled ``DHS/ICE--011 Immigration and Enforcement Operational 
Records (ENFORCE) System of Records.'' With this update, ICE is 
proposing new routine use II that will authorize disclosure of 
information from this system of records ``to a domestic law enforcement 
agency for the purpose of providing notice of an individual's release 
from DHS custody or removal from the United States, when the individual 
has a conviction(s) for a violent or serious crime(s) and the agency 
receiving the notification has an interest in the individual due to: 
(1) A pending investigation or prosecution, (2) parole or other forms 
of supervision, or (3) the individual's intended residence or location 
of release falling within the agency's jurisdiction.''
    ICE will share biographic and criminal history information as well 
as release conditions or restrictions with other domestic law 
enforcement agencies when an alien who has been convicted of a violent 
or serious crime is released from ICE custody or removed from the 
United States. Violent and serious crimes include certain firearms, 
national security, sex, and drug-related crimes that ICE has determined 
are most relevant to the safety of the community. For example, ICE will 
notify a local law enforcement agency of the release from ICE custody 
of an alien who has been convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly 
weapon and has parole requirements in the local jurisdiction. ICE will 
also notify a law enforcement agency when an alien who has been 
convicted of, for example, armed robbery and assault is released, to 
assist agency decisions concerning the allocation of public safety 
resources in the jurisdiction.
    These notifications are intended as situational awareness messages 
to help inform agencies that have an interest in an alien for 
investigation, supervision, or public/officer safety purposes of the 
alien's whereabouts from the time the alien is released until the alien 
reaches his or her intended jurisdiction of residence or country of 
removal. Notifications also assist law enforcement agencies in 
narrowing the pool of potential suspects when a violent or serious 
crime is committed in their jurisdiction and there are few leads in the 
investigation, or if the particulars of a crime being investigated are 
similar to circumstances surrounding the violent or serious crime for 
which the individual was previously convicted. Notifications of removal 
of an alien from the United States will help ensure that law 
enforcement agencies with an interest in the alien do not deploy 
resources in an attempt to locate the alien.
    The exemptions for the existing system of records notice will 
continue to be applicable for this system of records notice. This 
updated system will continue to be included in DHS's inventory of 
record systems.

II. Privacy Act

    The Privacy Act embodies fair information practice principles in a 
statutory framework governing the means by which the federal government 
agencies collect, maintain, use, and disseminate individuals' records. 
The Privacy Act applies to information that is maintained in a ``system 
of records.'' A ``system of records'' is a group of any records under 
the control of an agency from which information is retrieved by the 
name of an individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other 
identifying particular assigned to the individual. In the Privacy Act, 
an individual is defined to encompass U.S. citizens and lawful 
permanent residents. As a matter of policy, DHS extends administrative 
Privacy Act protections to all individuals when systems of records 
maintain information on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and 
visitors.
    Below is the description of the amended DHS/ICE-011 Immigration and 
Enforcement Operational Records (ENFORCE) System of Records.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DHS has provided a report of 
this system of records to the Office of Management and Budget and to 
Congress.

Enforcement Support and Information Management Division, Potomac Center 
North, 500 12th Street SW., Washington, DC 20536.

Notification procedure:
    The Secretary of Homeland Security has exempted this system from 
the notification, access, and amendment procedures of the Privacy Act 
because it is a law enforcement system. However, ICE will consider 
individual requests to determine whether or not information may be 
released. Thus, individuals seeking notification of and access to any 
record contained in this system of records, or seeking to contest its 
content, may submit a request in writing to ICE's FOIA Officer, whose 
contact information can be found at www.dhs.gov/foia under 
``contacts.''
    When seeking records about yourself from this system of records or 
any other Departmental system of records your request must conform with 
the Privacy Act regulations set forth in 6 CFR part 5. You must first 
verify your identity, meaning that you must provide your full name, 
current address, and date and place of birth. You must sign your 
request, and your signature must either be notarized or submitted under 
28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits statements to be made under penalty 
of perjury as a substitute for notarization. While no specific form is 
required, you may obtain forms for this purpose from the Chief Privacy 
Officer and Chief Freedom of Information Act Officer, http://www.dhs.gov or 1-866-431-0486. In addition you should provide the 
following:
     An explanation of why you believe the Department would 
have information on you;
     Identify which component(s) of the Department you believe 
may have the information about you;
     Specify when you believe the records would have been 
created;
     Provide any other information that will help the FOIA 
staff determine which DHS component agency may have responsive records; 
and
     If your request is seeking records pertaining to another 
living individual, you must include a statement from that individual 
certifying his/her agreement for you to access his/her records.
    Without this bulleted information the component(s) may not be able 
to conduct an effective search, and your request may be denied due to 
lack of specificity or lack of compliance with applicable regulations.

Record access procedures:
    See ``Notification procedure'' above.

Contesting record procedures:
    See ``Notification procedure'' above.

Record source categories:
    Records in the system are supplied by several sources. In general, 
information is obtained from individuals covered by this system, and 
other federal, state, local, tribal, or foreign governments. More 
specifically, DHS/ICE-011 records derive from the following sources:
    (a) Individuals covered by the system and other individuals (e.g., 
witnesses, family members);
    (b) Other federal, state, local, tribal, or foreign governments and 
government information systems;
    (c) Business records;
    (d) Evidence, contraband, and other seized material; and
    (e) Public and commercial sources.

Exemptions claimed for the system:
    The Secretary of Homeland Security has exempted portions of this 
system of records from subsections (c)(3) and (4); (d); (e)(1), (e)(2), 
(e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(5), and (e)(8); and (g) of the 
Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2). In addition, the Secretary 
of Homeland Security has exempted portions of this system of records 
from subsections (c)(3); (d); (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), and (e)(4)(H) of the 
Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2). These exemptions apply 
only to the extent that records in the system are subject to

exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2).
    In addition, to the extent a record contains information from other 
exempt systems of records, DHS will rely on the exemptions claimed for 
those systems.
