If you're looking to locate an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office, then you can use the office locator on the ICE website here. Yet, that link does not seem to bring up all ICE locations. For instance, the ICE office in Mt. Laurel does not show up using that link, but the office location does show up elsewhere on the ICE website here. And, here is a map of ERO offices (as of 2023) across the USA.



ICE is made up of three components that interact with the public: 1) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO); 2) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI); 3) Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA) [aka Office of Chief Counsel (OCC)].



According to ICE, the "ERO directorate upholds U.S. Immigration law at, within, and beyond our borders." ERO is the ICE component that traditionally locates people to remove (aka deport) and actually deports them.


HSI is "the principal investigative component of DHS...responsible for investigating, disrupting, and dismantling transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) and terrorist networks."


Finally, OPLA (OCC) handles the representation of DHS in "immigration removal proceedings" before EOIR (Immigration Court and the BIA). Attorneys for ICE in Immigration Court are OPLA attorneys. Such attorneys often go on to become immigration judges with EOIR.
