Immigration Domain
Overview
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is responsible for, among other missions, providing immigration-related services and benefits, such as naturalization and work authorization. In addition, it has investigative and enforcement responsibilities for enforcement of federal immigration laws, customs laws, and air security laws. This domain supports the sharing of information to improve those services and law enforcement activities and to foster better collaboration with their external partners.
