Where can I learn about the duties of an Immigration Enforcement Agent?

ICE was formed after the formation of DHS, and was created by combining Customs and Immigration. This was quite a feat as they were vastly different in procedures and ideology.

To simplify things you have two types of employees (excluding supervisors, civilian assistance, etc.) the Inspector and the Agent. The best way to compare them is picture the Inspectors as Police Uniform Officers and picture Agents as Detectives. The Inspectors perform their duties at ports of entry and other designated sites worldwide. Their primary job is detection of illegal contraband. Once detected they turn everything over to an agent(s) who then investigates all available information on the seizure, interrogates suspect(s) and presents the case to the US Attorney for prosecution.

I am giving you the basics as there are also special assignment positions where inspectors perform investigative duties and work in conjunction with agents.

Being an ICE Agent has enough diversity to allow for an interesting career. You can be stationed in offices on the border, or interior of the US. You can also be stationed in liaison and embassy positions around the world. ICE is responsible for penetrating smuggling organizations in an attempt to curtail their criminal activities. So undercover work is possible. While DEA is responsible for domestic narcotic issues, ICE handles anything that has a Nexus with a foreign country. They also enforce such things as counterfeiting of products such as music CDs and jeans. In other words there are enough different things going on so that you don't spend 20+ years doing the same thing.

Touching on two other parts of your question. Border Patrol and it's employees handle perform correction officer type duties in reference to illegal immigrants. Also, though an ICE representative is present, illegals are flown to various nations by Con Air, which consists of contract security personnel, which are primarily ex or retired law enforcement.

As for overtime, there is ample overtime working in inspections and as an agent in the Office of Investigations. You should be aware that many investigations offices offer internships for college students, when funding is available. You perform minuscule duties, but it allows ICE to review you working habits and for you to see what you're in for. The two interns I knew went to work for ICE upon graduation. If you want more info call ICE and ask to speak with an agency recruiter.

Is the job of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement IEA mainly that of a corrections officer for illegal aliens, or is there more to it? What does the job entail? Can anyone recommend any resources *other* than the ICE website, the OPM jobs website, and the IEA Forum on delphiforums.com?

Yes - that is actively supporting the liberals call for separation of church and state. Tony - the separation of church and state simply means that our government shall support no religious organization. If we had no such provision in our Constitution then I could see our government upholding the concept of sanctuary. The only reason our government doesn't do this very often is politics - they don't want to irk churchgoers, who "may" take offense. What gives any criminal the "right" to hide in plain sight in a church and expect that no arrest should be made. I don't care if the criminal was a simple shoplifter and law enforcement tackled him in the middle of the pews. People should not expect to get a free pass on our laws simply by going inside a church! What would be next - child molesters hiding inside a religious cults building and expecting sanctuary?

It is a pity Ana Maria Hernandez and her thrice deported son do not respect the sanctity of the US border which by treaty is supposed to respected "religiously" by both nations. I don't care where illegal aliens are arrested, and feel that churches who harbor illegal aliens should lose their tax-exemptions.

Look in the real world.
