If ICE were subject to the intelligence community 'coordination' process, perhaps their "missed opportunities" were..... baked in.

| DHS OIG Finds ICE's Screening Protocol of Aliens Who May Be Known or Suspected Terrorists is Limited and Risks National Security |
| 2018-01-10 |
| [Office of the Inspector General - Homeland Security] A new report by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) finds that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continues to face significant challenges with its screening of aliens who may have ties to terrorism. Auditors warn ICE may have missed opportunities to identify, apprehend, and adjudicate the status of aliens posing the highest risk to public safety and national security. The report, "ICE Faces Challenges to Screen Aliens Who May Be Known or Suspected Terrorists (REDACTED)," concluded that ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) faces significant limitations in implementing its Known or Suspected Terrorist Encounter Protocol (KSTEP). ICE established KSTEP to streamline the screening protocol of all aliens and to coordinate and exchange information with other law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Despite its implementation, the agency’s KSTEP policy fails to require continued screening of the majority of nearly 2.4 million aliens no longer in ICE custody but under ICE supervision. Continues. |

| #2 I always thought that the purpose of the OIG was to identify and eliminate troublemakers. |
