In addition, ICE has assumed the law enforcement responsibilities of the Federal Protective Service. With the exception of the FBI, ICE employs more Special Agents to investigate violations of the over 400 federal laws now fallin� within its purview than any other federal investigative agency. � In connection with its Customs and Immigration investigative authority, ICE Special Abents employ one of the most powerful law enforcement tools in the federal arsenal: border search authority. Border searches are a universally recognized exception to the reasonableness requirements of the Fourth Amendment, and the authority to conduct such searches — found at 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a) and 19 U.S.C. §§ 482, 1467, 1496, 1499, 1581, 1�82, among other statutes — is what sets ICE apart from any other federal agency in our ability to conduct both civil and criminal investigations. An ICE Special Agent's "authority' to investigate immigration offenses, whether civil or criminal, is derived from § 103(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. � 1103(a), which says "[t]he Secretary of Homeland Security shall be charged with the administration and enforcement of [the INA] and all other laws relating to the immigration and naturalization of aliens...." As "customs officers" within the meaning of 19 U.S.C. � 1401(i), ICE Special Agents enforce the customs laws of the United States by searching for merchandise at the border, functional equivalent of the border, and extended border, for among other reasons, to protect the revenue of the United States, to insure that proper duties are paid, and to prevent prohibited merchandise from being imported into or exported from the United States.
