How does ICE know who to deport?
( — A sudden presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in cities across the nation has prompted curiosity about how the agency knows where to go and who to arrest or deport. • California governor requests troops to leave LA amid escalating anti-deportation protests ICE is a federal law enforcement agency tasked with arresting, detaining, and removing aliens who are illegally present in the United States, according to its website. Aliens or illegal immigrants are defined as people who are in the U.S. illegally. 'If you're in the U.S. for any period of time — an hour, a month or 50 years — without being admitted or paroled, or for any length of time after your authorized period of stay expires, you're illegally present,' ICE said. ICE protests turn violent in downtown L.A., local officials blame Trump ICE uses a variety of tactics to identify, track, and deport illegal immigrants. Here are a few known tools used by ICE. • Databases: According to the National Immigration Law Center, ICE has access to databases such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, the National Crime Information Center Database, and gang databases. Whenever a non-citizen's information is run through those systems, it can trigger ICE to locate and arrest them. • Mobile Biometric Devices: Sometimes, ICE agents in the field will work with local police and use mobile devices to take biometrics such as fingerprints or photos of people they encounter, often profiling people based on how they look or act, according to NILC. They also rely on facial recognition systems owned by local police agencies. • Surveillance: ICE agents are trained to use surveillance that includes loitering around homes and places of work, according to the Immigration Defense Project. They will also question friends, family, neighbors, and employers. Additionally, IDF said they are known to peer into windows. • Local Law Enforcement: Sometimes, ICE will send a formal request to a law enforcement agency or correctional facility that has custody of a 'potentially dangerous alien.' 'Many public officials recognize that partnerships between federal, state, and local law enforcement authorities help keep American communities safe,' ICE said. When a law enforcement agency honors a detainer, it notifies ICE before releasing a 'potentially dangerous alien.' ICE's federal law enforcement officers then take that person into custody. • Self Deportation: Currently, ICE is advising people who know they are illegally in the U.S. to self deport. 'If you're illegally present in the U.S., you can leave at any time,' ICE said. 'You don't have to wait for ICE officials to find, arrest, detain, and remove you. You can plan and organize your affairs. If ICE officials arrest you, there's no going back — you may not have time to get your affairs in order, gather your belongings, or even say goodbye to the people you care about.' ICE added, 'You do not need to turn yourself in to an ICE office if you intend to self-deport. You may simply leave the country. If ICE arrests you because you didn't turn yourself in, the agency will detain and remove you, and you may have to spend several months in detention while you're awaiting removal.' • Ruses: According to IDP, ICE agents are known to visit homes of potential illegal immigrants and lie about who they are and what they want to obtain information and make arrests. The goal is reportedly to lure an individual into a public space or gain permission to enter the home to see if that individual is there. Once ICE agents visually identify the person they are looking for they can complete their goal of identifying and arresting the person. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

St. George Police share tips for businesses with compromised emails
ST. GEORGE, Utah (ABC4) — The St. George Police Department warned that some local businesses have had their email accounts compromised and shared what people can do to protect their information. Jordan Goethe with St. George Police says that hackers have cracked the passwords of several email accounts and are sending out malicious links from those email addresses. The emails being sent are meant to scam the recipient of the email into giving up some sort of personal information. For those wanting to keep their accounts secure, Goethe says one of the easiest things you can do is to update your password or use a passphrase that is at least 16 characters in length. Goethe adds that users can also enable two-factor authentication, which is an extra security check in order to access information, and is usually done through another device or authentication app. Goethe says it can be difficult to avoid getting scammed, but there are different things people can do to avoid it. If you get a suspicious email from someone you know, it is best to call and check with them if the message is legitimate or not.
