In addi-tion, it includes the United States Immigration and CustomsEnforcement (ICE), which is charged with finding and eliminatingvulnerabilities in the nation’s border, economic, transportationand infrastructure security.Imagine 30,000 sealed shipping containers entering the UnitedStates every day through ports on all borders, and the enormoustask of deciding which ones to detain and inspect.
