Man: Radio check.
-: With the fugitive unit,
we're basically responsible for the five boroughs
of New York City.
What we do is we actually go out
and locate at large criminal aliens.
It's this one.
-: Then there is another one in the front.
(door knocks)
-: Movement on the first floor.
It looks like an older female.
-: Morning, police. How are you sir?
I don't want to yell. Do you mind opening the door?
We're conducting an investigation.
We're conducting an investigation, sir.
-: For what?
-: We just want to figure out who lives in the building.
Somebody is using this address. Please.
Hey, good morning sir.
We're sorry to bother you. Okay?
(dog barking)
-: Hey, just give me a status every now and then.
(indistinct)
(somber music)
(door knocks)
-: Open the door please.
(somber music)
(dog barking) (somber music)
(coughs)
(somber music)
It was terrible. I can't even describe it.
And filthy, dirty,
garbage all over the place.
The dog,
sleeping on the floor with like his feces next to him.
It was terrible.
(somber music)
The person we're looking for wasn't there.
We spoke to,
I guess the primary resident on the first floor
who lived there with a few other guys
in some rented rooms.
They finally let us in to just clear it out.
But he gave us some information.
I guess the person we're looking for is well known around here.
He has a conviction already for a DWI.
He also has a recent arrest for
criminal possession of a weapon.
I'm not going to tell you that
we've never arrest a non-criminal.
Because I'd be lying.
All I can do is continue to do my job the way
I'm supposed to until something changes.

Woman: Your next master
hearing date is,
2018
before judge.
Visiting judge two.
-: We just found out that Luis has an upcoming court hearing
with an undesignated judge.
Which most likely means that
he will probably not have to go to court
but we'll call immigration court tomorrow and find out.
Right now because of Luis is under 18 years old
and he's applying for special immigrant juvenile status.
There is a significant chance that he'll get his special
immigrant juvenile status approved.
The issue arises with work permits.
Immigrant children are not entitled to work permits.
And there is a requirement that Luis is in school,
at least up until he's 18 years old.
-: He's going to start in my office.
Okay. This is the schedule.
Okay?
So every day you come to school.
(upbeat music)
-: Hi. Sorry.
So Monday Sophia?
-: Yes, Monday. -: Okay.
(upbeat music)
-: I started with ICE in 2002.
This year it'll be 16 years.
(car trunk slams)
It wasn't ICE when I started.
It was still immigration and naturalization service.
It didn't become ICE until 2003
under the department of Homeland security.
I feel like this is my way of serving my country.
I'm probably gonna be here until I retire.
This is, this is it for me.
(keypad tone)
My mother is from Cuba
and my father's from Puerto Rico.
They worry a lot
because they are Hispanic and they're listening to,
you know, Univision.
So they're concerned.
They don't want me to do this anymore.
Okay.
Today we had two subjects here from Cuba.
It's kind of not my forte.
They're claiming fear. They're afraid to go back to Cuba.
So they are actually seeking asylum
here in the United States.
I have a question about that part three
about the documents
that provide that you are not a danger to the community.
Is that here. -: Yeah.
-: That's here so this really doesn't pertain to them
because a lot of them just came.
They've been in custody.
So this is just if they've been arrested here.
The problem here is that someone who's a criminal
is in the same category of someone who's not a criminal.
It's one whole big pool of people.
What I would change is
I probably would try to put people in different categories.
In my opinion, the only way to make any of this better is
the laws have to change.
The immigration laws have to change
and that's something that has to be done
up there way above my pay grade.

(students mumbling)
-: Are you ready?
Student: No.
(students mumbling)
-: Let's turn our eyes this way.
You can finish the front in a little bit.
Student: I need to know as much information as you have
about light
particles, waves, reflections, refractions and all that other stuff.
-: So answer these two questions.
You don't have to get them right.
Student: But you said pre-video.
-: Pre-video. What does pre mean?
So you might want to
open up. .
(students chattering)
So we're gonna move on to the other side.
We're gonna do it together.
So we're going to watch the video twice.
-: Artificial light is made
when matter gives off energy in the light rays.
This can happen in two ways:
by heating something up until it produces light,
or running an electric current through a solid,
like a light bulb filament, or a gas like, neon.
There are also. .
(epic music)
(upbeat music)
-: There's one constant in this office.
My son, Danny.
Most of those photos are pretty much documenting
as he was growing up.
Graduation pictures, birthday pictures.
I started going years ago to a Comic Con
with Danny every year.
And then just, every year I went, I started buying
a new doll.
And if you notice they're either a superhero female,
or some of them are anime females,
but my favorite is Wonder Woman.
I have Wonder Woman at home.
I have Wonder Woman all over the place.
I liked the
being strong and being able to handle a weapon.
But my grandmother she's like the strongest person
I've ever known.
When things don't feel like they're going right
Or you feel upset about something.
You feel like you can't conquer something.
She gives me inspiration.
(epic music)
Before getting into ICE,
I worked in the private sector.
I was basically an accountant
for a garment company
for many years.
And my father worked for the board of ED.
My mother had a really steady job
that she stayed in for over 42 years.
So they were always kind of pushing me to get a job that,
had stability and had benefits and
all the good stuff.
So they were always,
you got to apply for like a city job
or a government job.
You gotta get something a little bit more stable.
They were happy about the fact that I got a good position
in the government,
but they weren't happy about the fact that
it was law enforcement.
(somber music)
(dog barking)
-: Tell them to sit.
So it doesn't get cold.
-: You have been warned.
It is time to sit
and eat.
-: They are all gonna sit there.
And I'll be sitting on my regular seat there.
-: In a minute.
(somber music)
-: The job that my mom did
was very, very important for my mom.
And she helps a lot of people,
maybe one at a time but
she really did make a difference in people's lives.
At the end of the day,
I do understand that these people are coming here
to live a better life
so I try to be considerate of that.

(beep sound)
(door slams)
-: Ain't going on?
I sent you something else this morning.
-: No I'm just being overwhelmed with these files.
-: We got more coming.
Cause I'm going through those files with Danny now.
-: You're ready?
Let's go through those files.
All these cases they take a lot of work.
It's not something that we just pick up and like, okay,
let's go over here for this person.
No, it takes a lot of
database checks and research and investigating
in order to have a good address just to find the person.
(phone ringing)
-: Hello?
From where?
Okay.
(phone ringing)
Well, where are the files?
Okay hold on one second.
Hello?
People are constantly entering the United States.
It doesn't stop.
And somewhere around 2017,
they stopped doing prosecutorial discretion
at the court level.
So they are seeing more cases now
because those cases are not being administratively
closed at that level.
(somber music)
It's just such an increase in cases.
To the point where you can't. .
There's no way that we can,
we don't have the resources
to do you see all these files here?
-: We don't have the resources
officer wise to be able to go out
and locate all these people.
(somber music)
I was just curious. .
-: No. That's completely impossible.
(laughs)
That's completely impossible.
That wouldn't even happen in a lifetime.
You know what I mean?
It just doesn't make any sense.
There's not enough people.
Even if you got every law enforcement agency involved
in doing that, it just wouldn't happen.
I do think to myself sometimes
I wish he would actually come here.
You know what I mean?
Come here, get to meet people.
Really look to see what we do, what it is.
I wish that would happen.
I know that's not going to happen either.
-: I've said the target is a national
of the Dominican Republic.
He also came into the United States
as a non immigrant visa.
He ended up adjusting status
to a local permanent resident.
But then in 2017,
he got convicted for conspiracy to contribute,
to distribute cocaine.
A federal crime.
(somber music)
-: An ideal day is,
going to two or three houses finding the two or three people
arresting them.
But it's never ever ever that simple.
(somber music)
They already did surveillance on this twice before.
Pretty much the same thing has happened.
-: Oh, I see.
Ten four I see him now.
-: Heading there.
(epic music)
-: Just check him out.
I wish there were other ways of us conducting our business.
Instead of doing it in somebodies home,
in front of their child.
We try to avoid it when we can.
(somber music)
-: This guy is a working man.
-: A real good family.
Real good family guy. .
He has six kids.
I own the store for nine and a half years.
All knew them since that time.
Him and his wife, they both work.
It's not like if they live off the system or nothing like that.
They are working families.
It's sad that things like this happens.
(car engine roaring)
(sobbing)
(somber music)
-: When I first started,
it was very very difficult for me.
I'd see situations where I almost wanted to cry.
(somber music)
You can't, we can't hold onto it.
We can't take it home with us.
We just deal with so many different cases.
Those are there's no way that we could internalize
our emotions on everything that we see.
You kind of have to program yourself.
to just think this is your job and
just do your job,
and do it the best way you can.
And you have to separate the personal emotions
or the personal feelings from doing your job.
(somber music)
(alarm ringing)
(cock crowing)
(sobbing)
(somber music)
(phone ringing)
-: I want to ask you something.
(indistinct)
-: What class is he?
-: He is in class O.
-: But he is not here.
-: He has attended only these.
-: So he's been late 12. -: Yeah 12.
-: He's been absent 20. -: 20.
No, but the second term is six, right?
-: Yeah.
And he's been present 13 days.
(phone rings)
-: Okay.
(car siren)
(door slams)
-: We have to write a report after each visit.
So there are things that we have to make sure
that we've covered.
The biggest thing being their safety,
medical insurance, school and of course a lawyer.
If the child does not go to school,
it could be considered negligence on the part of the parents
or a sponsor.
Here in New York,
if they just decide oh no,
I'm just not gonna take the child.
And I would have to call Child Protective Services.

-: I've tried calling Luis several times this morning.
I was able to get in touch with him once,
but he was scared and he hung up the phone.
His court date was scheduled for today, 8:30.
-: The judge that Luis has.
Is particularly tough also.
-: And she does have the authority to issue a removal order.
-: I'm going to try calling him one more time,
see if he answers by any luck and try to get him to come in.
(somber music)
-: Each one of these is a new case.
Actually I have them here
because I haven't been able to review them.
This one,
I know this is a final order of removal already.
You know what I mean?
So once it gets here,
we review the case for viability.
So even though we really don't have any priorities anymore,
the way we used to have a few years ago,
we do try to prioritize here within ourselves.
And the most important thing for us is to prioritize
according to criminality,
that's the way I like to run my team.
What somebody does in like the middle of Montana,
Fugitive Operations it may be different.
Maybe they have a different mentality.
I try to do the best job that I can do as an officer.
I definitely think I have my own moral code.
(somber music)
(car hooting)
-: Okay.
(somber music)
(upbeat music)
(keyboard cranking) (upbeat music)
-: You mentioned nothing is going to work, right?
-: I think Johnny was having trouble with it earlier, too.
Cause he doesn't remember how we had everything plugged in.
That's the problem. -: That's what happens.
Danny is not the typical youngster. I don't think.
He's a great kid.
I have him working since he got his working papers
when he was 14.
Now he's
going to be 23 years old and an adult
and we're working in the same office.
I never would have imagined that.
-: Like me being in the position I'm in
is kind of like a
really good starting point because I'm seeing everything
without actually like being out there and doing it.
-: If he gets to get
the officer job and go to the Academy and come back.
We actually probably could possibly
be out in the field together.
And that's very weird to me.
It's actually just two weeks,
sometimes I'll be sitting here
and he'll come here and ask me a question.
And I think about it.
I was like, wow, I can't believe.
I thought he was gonna just,
continue on his little running spree
and maybe do some kind of sports oriented
type of employment.
But this is stability.
I guess that's what's the most important.
(somber music)
In this day and age,
it's to difficult finding a job that's stable
that has benefits.
So for Danny to be able to get in here
and to be able to establish himself and have that stability
is really important.
It's been important for me.
And I've tried to instill that in him as well.
(gentle piano music)
You know, it's hard living in New York.
just it's so expensive.
And sometimes you feel like,
all you do is work and
work and pay bills, work and pay bills.
As I get a little older, I think to myself,
let me move somewhere else where it's a little better
cost of living or whatever.
(gentle piano music)
But you know, what holds me down is my family.
I'm a single mother, I have one son
who's like the world to me, my parents and
my 109 year old grandmother.
(gentle music)
For me, they're so important. I can't imagine leaving them.
