INS into DHS – Where is it now?

On November 25, 2002, the President signed the Homeland Security
Act of 2002
into law. This law transferred INS functions to the new Department
of Homeland Security (DHS). Immigration enforcement functions were placed within
the Directorate of Border and Transportation Security (BTS), either directly, or under
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) (which includes the Border Patrol and INS
Inspections) or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) (which includes the
enforcement and investigation components of INS such as Investigations,
Intelligence, Detention and Removals).

As of March 1, 2003, the former Immigration and Naturalization
Service (INS) was abolished and its functions and units incorporated into the new
Department. Below are links to Web information about
the new locations, responsibilities and contacts (HQs/field) of the former INS
immigration services and immigration enforcement units.
