Officers from U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been seeking out undocumented immigrants charged or convicted of crimes in Florida over the past two weeks, following President Donald Trump's tough nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration .

What does ICE stand for in immigration?

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was created in 2003 under the Department of Homeland Security to protect the U.S. from cross-border crime and illegal immigration.

ICE enforces the nation's complex Title 8 immigration laws inside the country and U.S. Customs and Border Protection handle it at the nation's borders. ICE has more than 20,000 law enforcement officers and an annual budget of about $8 billion.

However, the Trump administration deputized thousands more federal law enforcement officers to help with his goal of mass deportations, and many local law enforcement agencies have announced their intentions to coordinate and cooperate with the efforts.

That depends on who you ask.

"ICE detains individuals as necessary, including to secure their presence for immigration proceedings and removal from the United States," the agency says on its website. "ICE also detains those who are subject to mandatory detention under U.S. immigration law and those a supervisor has determined are public safety or flight risks."

The president, who declared a national border emergency on his first day in office and ordered the U.S. armed forces to repel "forms of invasion," has said his administration will prioritize deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal histories.

However, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked at her first press conference how many people arrested by ICE since Trump regained power had criminal records.

“All of them, because they illegally broke our nation’s laws and therefore they are criminals as far as this administration goes,’’ Leavitt said , suggesting that any and all people in the country without permission are fair game.

What happens to people after ICE arrests them?

After ICE arrests and processes people, or takes them into custody after other law enforcement agencies turn them over, they may detain them while their immigration cases are pending or release them under supervision.

"Officials make custody determinations on an individual basis, taking into account all facets of a person’s situation, including their immigration history and criminal records. Authorities also consider family ties, humanitarian issues and whether a person may be a flight risk," ICE said .

However, Trump issued executive orders authorizing the expansion of “expedited removal,” which allows the U.S. to deport someone without a hearing and revoking a ban on ICE arrests in sensitive areas such as hospitals, schools and churches.
