U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO)
Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) play a vital role in immigration enforcement. They oversee all aspects of the process, which includes identifying individuals, as well as their arrest, detention, and removal under immigration law. ERO typically learns about these individuals through Interpol notices, suspected terrorists, cases involving counter-proliferation crimes, the terrorist watch list, or the no-fly list.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has updated its Enforcement and Removal Operations page for the fiscal year ending December 2024. Currently, 1,563 Sierra Leoneans from a total of 1,445,549 Countries of Citizenship are scheduled for imminent removal.
These noncitizen individuals and families do not have a legal basis to remain in the country. The data is independent, and the figures do not account for the ongoing immigration sweep.
