...from several pre-9/11 entities, has become a serious investigative law enforcement agency with about the same number of employees as the FBI (both employ over 20,000). ICE's broad portfolio now includes, among other duties, running the Federal air marshals service, investigating money-laundering and other cross-border smuggling crimes, protecting the airspace over Washington, D.C., carrying out marine drug interdictions, and providing security at federal buildings nationwide.
