Power, oversight, and operational authority over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reside directly within the executive branch of the federal government. ICE operates as a primary operating component agency of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Consequently, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Deputy Secretary, and ultimately the President of the United States hold ultimate supervisory, budgetary, and policy-making authority over the agency's enforcement mandates and strategic operational directives.
