DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

In this Spanish-language explainer, the speaker clarifies the structure of U.S. immigration enforcement by describing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as the overarching federal entity that houses three distinct agencies: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which handles arrests and deportations; Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), which secures borders and ports of entry; and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which processes visas, green cards, and citizenship applications. The speaker emphasizes that knowing which agency is involved in a particular case is crucial because each agency follows different procedures, grants different rights, and leads to different consequences. The video concludes with an invitation to provide personalized guidance for anyone with immigration questions.
