ICE was only created in 2003 — it's one of the U.S.'s newest federal agencies.
Formed under the Homeland Security Act after 9/11, ICE merged parts of the INS and U.S. Customs Service. Today it employs over 20,000 people and operates 24 field offices nationwide, including a major hub in Houston.

ICE's Houston Field Office is one of the largest in the U.S.
ICE Enforcement & Removal Operations (ERO) Houston covers Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma & New Mexico — 5 states. Texas consistently leads the nation in ICE arrests and deportations each fiscal year.
Shooting an ICE agent can mean federal charges — up to life in prison.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 111, assaulting a federal officer carries up to 20 years. If death results, it can become a capital offense — prosecuted federally, separate from any state charges filed.
Shootings involving ICE agents fall under FBI jurisdiction, not local police.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 1114, killing or attempting to kill a federal officer is a federal crime. This means the FBI — not the Houston PD — leads the investigation, even when the incident occurs on local soil.
