DHS/ICE/PIA-049 ICE Parole and Law Enforcement Programs Unit Case Management Systems

The Parole and Law Enforcement Programs Unit (Parole Unit) within U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations, owns and operates three case management systems: 1) the Parole Case Tracking System (PCTS) to process applications and monitor activities related to law enforcement-requested immigration paroles; 2) the S-Visa System for S-Visa immigration benefits; and 3) the Witness Security (WitSec) System to support the witness security program. These are collectively referred to as the ICE Parole Unit Case Management Systems. The personally identifiable information (PII) maintained in these systems is about: 1) aliens otherwise ineligible for admission to the United States who are paroled into the United States in support of law enforcement investigations and activities; 2) aliens either previously removed or currently in removal proceedings who apply for and/or are granted humanitarian parole; and 3) aliens named in applications submitted by law enforcement agencies for participation in the S-Visa and WitSec programs. ICE is publishing this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to document and provide transparency on the privacy protections that are in place for the PII contained in the ICE Parole Unit Case Management Systems.
