DHS/ICE/PIA-028 Automated Threat Prioritization Web Service

ATP electronically receives, processes and transmits criminal history information about individuals who are the subjects of a broad range of enforcement actions or whose criminal history is required to be evaluated by law to determine eligibility for a benefit or credential. For example, this service is intended to enhance and support ICE’s investigative and enforcement operations by automating criminal history data processing and aid in its prioritization of enforcement actions. ICE is conducting this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) because the ATP service will transmit and process Personally Identifiable Information (PII.) This PIA, however, only describes the general functionality of the ATP service and not its implementation.
