This form reports the number of deportable aliens by region and country of

provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
Immigration enforcement actions include the arrest, detention, return, and
removal from the United States of foreign nationals who are in violation of
the INA. Violations include losing legal status by failing to abide by the
terms and conditions of entry or by engaging in crimes such as violent
crimes, document fraud, terrorist activity, and drug smuggling. Primary
responsibility for the enforcement of immigration law within DHS rests with
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE).
