Job Summary
Job Title: DHS Intelligence Analyst
Location: Santa Ana CA (On Site)
Program Overview:
Removing aliens present in the United States (U.S.) who have violated U.S. laws is a national public safety priority. To address these threats Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) formed the Targeting Operations Division (TOD) within the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) directorate. The primary mission of the TOD is to identify and locate aliens that pose a threat to public safety or national security. The TOD has a current and recurring need for analytical services in support of its mission to identify and locate individuals who have violated U.S. laws. This support includes the analysis of information obtained from commercial and law enforcement databases as well as publicly accessible open-source and social media platforms.
Successful law enforcement operations require adaptation to changing public safety threats and the ability to continually refine processes and modernize information technologies. Although ICE-ERO continues to make considerable progress in identifying targeting and arresting individuals who have violated U.S. laws the continued use of proactive and modern enforcement tools remains an essential approach to achieve ICE enforcement goals. Analysis of information sources is needed to enhance ICEs mission and program efficiency. Previous approaches to targeting individuals for enforcement action which have not incorporated open web sources and social media information have had limited success. The individuals targeted for enforcement action purposely employ countermeasures to inhibit ICE-EROs ability to locate them.
