Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the largest investigative agency in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has responsibility for enforcing laws related to human smuggling and trafficking. As a result, ICE plays a leading role in The Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center (HSTC), the federal government's primary tool in the fight against human smuggling and trafficking.
The HSTC, which is a support organization and does not have directive authority, main functional areas:
Facilitating the broad dissemination of all-source information
The HSTC is an intelligence/law enforcement/diplomacy fusion center and information clearinghouse that integrates and disseminates raw and finished tactical, operational and strategic intelligence and information to member U.S. agencies' operational components, U.S. policy makers and appropriate foreign partners. This intelligence provides actionable leads for U.S. law enforcement and border security agencies that result in criminal investigations as well as interceptions of smuggled humans.
Identifying issues for inter-agency coordination or action
The HSTC identifies issues and makes recommendations related to migrant smuggling or trafficking in persons for referral to relevant agencies or inter agency organizations for action, as appropriate. These issues and initiatives can be either domestic or foreign.
Working with and exchanging information with allied foreign governments and organizations:
The HSTC serves as a centralized U.S. point of contact for similar allied foreign centers, multi-national organizations, and national law enforcement and intelligence authorities that combat international illicit travel. The HSTC actively exchanges information with allies and partners, including INTERPOL, EUROPOL and FRONTEX, regarding human smuggling, human trafficking and terrorist mobility.
