States Immigration Customs and Enforcement--011 Criminal Arrest Records 
and Immigration Enforcement Records System of Records

AGENCY: Privacy Office, Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Notice of Privacy Act System of Records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to update, rename, and reissue a 
current DHS system of records titled, ``DHS//U.S. Immigration and 
Customs Enforcement (ICE)-011 Immigration and Enforcement Operational 
Records (ENFORCE)'' system of records. DHS/ICE collects, uses, and 
maintains ENFORCE to support the identification, apprehension, and 
removal of individuals unlawfully entering or present in the United 
States in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act, including 
fugitive aliens. DHS/ICE also uses ENFORCE to support the 
identification and arrest of individuals (both citizens and non-
citizens) who commit violations of federal criminal laws enforced by 
DHS. This system of records is being created from a previously issued 
system of records, DHS/ICE 011-Immigration and Enforcement Operational 
Records (ENFORCE). See 80 FR 24,269 (Apr. 30, 2015).
    DHS/ICE is updating this system of records to: Change the system of 
records name to ``DHS/ICE-011 Criminal Arrest Records and Immigration 
Enforcement Records (CARIER)'' System of Records; update and reorganize 
the categories of individuals for clarity; expand the categories of 
records to include recordings of detainee telephone calls and 
information about these calls, as well as information related to 
detainees' accounts for telephone or commissary services in a detention 
facility; update the system manager; clarify system location; and add 
twenty-five routine uses and modify twenty routine uses to describe how 
the Department of Homeland Security may share information from this 
system. Additionally, this notice includes non-substantive changes to 
simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice.
    This updated system will be included in the Department of Homeland 
Security's inventory of record systems.

DATES: Submit comments on or before November 18, 2016. This updated 
system will be effective November 18, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

[[Page 72081]]

I. Background

    In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, DHS/ICE 
is updating, renaming, and reissuing a DHS system of records now 
titled, ``DHS/Immigration and Enforcement (ICE)-011 Criminal Arrest 
Records and Immigration Enforcement Records (CARIER) System of 
Records.''
    The DHS/ICE update to CARIER includes several changes. First, the 
system of records is being renamed to better align it with the purpose 
of the system. This system of records covers records documenting ICE's 
criminal arrests, and also those documenting most of ICE's immigration 
enforcement actions, such as the issuance of immigration detainers; the 
arrests, charging, detention, and removal of aliens for administrative 
immigration violations; the search for and apprehension of fugitive 
aliens; and ICE decisions concerning the grant or denial of parole to 
aliens. This system of records is being created from a previously 
issued system of records named, DHS/ICE 011-Immigration and Enforcement 
Operational Records (ENFORCE), 80 FR 24,269 (Apr. 30, 2015).
    Second, this update seeks to clarify the types of individuals whose 
information is contained in this system of records. Some items in the 
category of individuals section have been reorganized and edited to 
more clearly identify the individuals whose records may be present in 
this system of records.
    Third, the categories of records section has been expanded to 
provide a more detailed and complete list of the types of information 
contained in the system of records. The new categories of records added 
to the system of records are domestic and foreign criminal history 
information; information related to detainees' accounts for telephone 
or commissary services in a detention facility; and video recordings of 
detainees. The CARIER system of records also contains detainee 
voiceprints used to verify identity when a detainee is released under 
an alternative to detention program, as well as the actual audio 
recordings of detainee ``check-in'' telephone calls. Additionally, the 
CARIER system of records contains recordings of detainee telephone 
calls made from a detention facility and information about these calls 
such as the date, time, duration, and telephone number called (Note: 
Information for protected telephone calls, such as calls with an 
attorney, is not recorded).
    Fourth, the system location and security classification have been 
updated to indicate that certain records may be replicated from ICE's 
Enforcement Integrated Database (EID) and stored on both DHS 
unclassified and classified networks to allow for analysis and vetting 
consistent with existing DHS/ICE authorities and purposes and this 
published notice.
    Fifth, the title of the system manager has been updated.
    Finally, DHS is proposing to add new routine uses that would allow 
ICE to share information from the CARIER system of records with the 
specified recipients for the specified purpose. DHS is also proposing 
to delete several routine uses and modify several others to clarify 
their meaning and/or to expand or limit the scope of the information 
shared. Several of the routine uses being added to or updated in the 
CARIER SORN are the same routine uses included in the Department of 
Homeland Security/U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS)/ICE/
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)-001 Alien File, Index, and National 
File Tracking (A-File) SORN. 78 FR. 69,864, (Nov. 21, 2013). Although 
both SORNs support the immigration enforcement mission, they often 
contain different information about aliens that may need to be shared. 
Therefore, identical or similar routine uses may be needed in both 
SORNs to ensure that immigration information can be shared as needed 
for law enforcement and other authorized purposes.
    Below is a summary of the new routine uses and their corresponding 
letter:
    (H) To prospective claimants and their attorneys for the purpose of 
negotiating the settlement of an actual or prospective claim against

    Below is a summary of the routine uses that are proposed to be 
modified or deleted, and their corresponding letter:
    (A) Expanded scope to include sharing with the Offices of the 
United States Attorneys. Also removed sharing with a court, magistrate, 
administrative tribunal, opposing counsel, parties, and witnesses 
because routine use LL now permits sharing with these recipients.
    (C) Updated to note that records will be provided specifically to 
the General Services Administration rather than to other Federal 
Government agencies.
    (D) Updated to clarify that records will not be given to 
individuals, but to agencies or organizations performing the audit.
    (E) Updated to add the risk of identity theft or fraud, and harm to 
economic or property interests as additional risks that DHS may 
determine may be a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise.
    Routine use H in the previous version of the SORN, which authorized 
disclosure during court proceedings, has been removed and replaced by 
new routine use MM. The new routine use contains improved wording that 
is clearer about when disclosures may be made under these 
circumstances.
    (I) Updated to enable DHS to share information when it deems that 
such disclosure is necessary to carry out its functions and statutory 
mandates.
    (J) Former routine uses J and K have been removed and the sharing 
they permitted is now combined into one routine use that authorizes 
disclosure for the purposes of national security, intelligence, 
counterintelligence, or antiterrorism activities.
    Routine use L in the previous version of the SORN has been removed 
and replaced by a new routine use K permitting sharing with federal and 
foreign government intelligence or counterterrorism agencies or 
components in support of national intelligence and security 
investigations or to assist in anti-terrorism efforts.
    (N) Updated to clarify that in disclosing custodial location to 
family members, attorneys, and other agents

[[Page 72083]]

acting on the behalf of an alien, the agency may also disclose if the 
alien was released from ICE custody and/or transferred to the custody 
of another agency. This authority was implied but not expressly stated 
in the previous version of routine use N. Also modified to clarify that 
disclosure is authorized to attorneys representing the alien in any 
legal proceeding, not only immigration proceedings.
    (O) Updated to clarify that information can be shared for other 
purposes or activities within the scope of the EOIR contract.
    (R) (previously routine use Q) Expanded scope to include sharing 
with domestic courts and to clarify agencies collecting the repayment 
of loans, or fraudulently or erroneously secured benefits.
    (V) (previously routine use U) Expanded scope to include 
prosecutions and/or other law enforcement actions.
    (W) (previously routine use V) Expanded scope to include sharing 
with federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial law enforcement or 
correctional agencies concerning individuals in ICE custody that are to 
be transferred to such agency's custody, in order to coordinate the 
transportation, custody, and care of the individuals.
    (X) (previously routine use W) Expanded scope to include sharing in 
order to arrange other social services.
    (Y) (previously routine use X) Updated to replace ICE with DHS.
    (BB) (previously routine use CC) Expanded the sharing of custodial 
information to witnesses and individuals with a legal responsibility to 
act on behalf of or acting at the request of a victim or witness, as 
well as external victim notification systems.
    (CC) (previously routine use Y) Scope is narrowed to exclude 
sharing in order to place an immigration detainer on an individual. 
Sharing in order to place a detainer is now covered by routine use DD. 
Additionally, this routine use previously was used when ICE was 
transferring an individual to another agency. It has been expanded to 
allow sharing during the course of transfer of custody of an individual 
either to or from ICE's custody.
    (HH) (previously routine use BB) Expanded scope to include sharing 
with the attorney or guardian ad litem of an individual's child for 
purposes of allowing the attorney/guardian to identify the location or 
status of the individual.
    (KK) (previously routine use FF) Expanded scope to include sharing 
with territorial government agencies or entities or multinational 
governmental agencies. It also expands the purposes of the sharing to 
developing and implementing new software or technology when the purpose 
of the software or technology is related to this system of records.
    (LL) (previously routine use GG) Former routine use GG has been 
removed and the sharing it permitted is now contained in two new 
routine uses to improve clarity: Routine use LL permitting the 
disclosure of information via the ICE Online Detainee Locator System or 
any successor system, and routine use VV permitting the disclosure of 
information to facilitate the deposit of monies into detainees' 
accounts for telephone or commissary services in a detention facility.
    Finally, there have been changes regarding the retention period for 
some records. Retention periods have been added for records concerning 
paroled aliens and fugitive aliens maintained in certain ICE 
information systems. Also, the fingerprints and photographs collected 
using the booking application EID Arrest Guide for Law Enforcement 
(EAGLE), previously known as Mobile IDENT, originally were stored for 
up to seven (7) days in the cache of an encrypted Government laptop or 
other IT device. Now they are stored for up to fifty (50) days.
    Consistent with DHS's information sharing mission, information 
stored in the DHS/ICE-011 Criminal Arrest Records and Immigration 
Enforcement Records may be shared with other DHS Components that have a 
need to know the information to carry out their national security, law 
enforcement, immigration, intelligence, or other homeland security 
functions. In addition, DHS/ICE may share information with appropriate 
federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or international 
government agencies consistent with the routine uses set forth in this 
system of records notice.
    This updated system will be included in DHS's inventory of record 
systems.

II. Privacy Act

    The Privacy Act embodies fair information principles in a statutory 
framework governing the means by which Federal Government agencies 
collect, maintain, use, and disseminate individuals' records. The 
Privacy Act applies to information that is maintained in a ``system of 
records.'' A ``system of records'' is a group of any records under the 
control of an agency from which information is retrieved by the name of 
an individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other 
identifying particular assigned to the individual. In the Privacy Act, 
an individual is defined to encompass U.S. citizens and lawful 
permanent residents. As a matter of policy, DHS extends administrative 
Privacy Act protections to all individuals when systems of records 
maintain information on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and 
visitors.
    Below is the description of the DHS/ICE-011 Criminal Arrest Records 
and Immigration Enforcement Records (CARIER) System of Records.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DHS has provided a report of

Safeguards:
    ICE safeguards records in this system in accordance with applicable 
rules and policies, including all applicable DHS automated systems 
security and access policies. Strict controls have been imposed to 
minimize the risk of compromising the information that is being stored. 
Access to the computer system containing the records in this system is 
limited to those individuals who have a need to know the information 
for the performance of their official duties and who have appropriate 
clearances or permissions.

Retention and disposal:
    ICE retains records of arrests, detentions, and removals in EID for 
one hundred (100) years; records concerning U.S. Marshals Service

Notification procedure:
    The Secretary of Homeland Security has exempted this system from 
the notification, access, and amendment procedures of the Privacy Act 
because it is a law enforcement system. However, ICE will consider 
individual requests to determine whether or not information may be 
released. Thus, individuals seeking notification of and access to any

[[Page 72089]]

record contained in this system of records, or seeking to contest its 
content, may submit a request in writing to ICE's Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA) Officer, whose contact information can be found 
at http://www.ice.gov/foia under ``Contacts.'' When seeking records 
about yourself from this system of records or any other Departmental 
system of records your request must conform with the Privacy Act 
regulations set forth in 6 CFR part 5. You must first verify your 
identity, meaning that you must provide your full name, current 
address, and date and place of birth. You must sign your request, and 
your signature must either be notarized or submitted under 28 U.S.C. 
1746, a law that permits statements to be made under penalty of perjury 
as a substitute for notarization. While no specific form is required, 
you may obtain forms for this purpose from the Chief Privacy Officer 
and Chief Freedom of Information Act Officer, http://www.dhs.gov/foia 
or 1-866-431-0486. In addition you should provide the following:
     Explain why you believe the Department would have 
information on you;
     Identify which component(s) of the Department you believe 
may have the information about you;
     Specify when you believe the records would have been 
created; and
     Provide any other information that will help the FOIA 
staff determine which DHS component agency may have responsive records.
     If your request is seeking records pertaining to another 
living individual, you must include a statement from that individual 
certifying his/her agreement for you to access his/her records.
    Without this bulleted information the component(s) may not be able 
to conduct an effective search, and your request may be denied due to 
lack of specificity or lack of compliance with applicable regulations.
    In processing requests for access to information in this system, 
DHS/ICE will review not only the records in the operational system, but 
also the records that were replicated on the unclassified and 
classified networks, and based on this notice provide appropriate 
access to the information.

Record access procedures:
    See ``Notification procedure'' above.

Contesting record procedures:
    See ``Notification procedure'' above.

Record source categories:
    Records in the system are supplied by several sources. In general,

specifically, DHS/ICE-011 records derive from the following sources:
    (a) Individuals covered by the system and other individuals (e.g., 
witnesses, family members);
    (b) Other federal, state, local, tribal, or foreign governments and 
government information systems;
    (c) Business records;
    (d) Evidence, contraband, and other seized material; and
    (e) Public and commercial sources.

Exemptions claimed for the system:
    The Secretary of Homeland Security, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
552a(j)(2), has exempted this system from the following provisions of 
the Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (c)(4); (d); (e)(1), (e)(2), 
(e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(5), (e)(8); (f); and (g). 
Additionally, the Secretary of Homeland Security, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
552a(k)(2), has exempted this system of records from the following 
provisions of the Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3); (d); (e)(1), 
(e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H); and (f). When a record received from another 
system has been exempted in that source system under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(j)(2) or (k)(2), DHS will claim the same exemptions for those 
records that are claimed for the original primary systems of records 
from which they originated and claims any additional exemptions set 
forth here.
