Repatriation

ICE ensures that illegal aliens are removed from the U.S. once they have been determined deportable by an immigration court. ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) facilitates the processing of illegal aliens through the immigration court system and coordinates their departure from the U.S. ERO's robust removals program halts the number of illegal alien absconders in the U.S.

Repatriation involves planning and coordinating removals across the country and developing and implementing strategies to support the return of all removable aliens to their country of origin.

ERO’s repatriation program comprises the following components:

Case Management Unit
Flight Operations Unit
Removal Coordination Unit
