Rewards for Reporting Fraud

There are three related federal agencies that address immigration:
 
- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly known as the Immigration and Naturalization Service or INS), website: www.uscis.gov
- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), website: www.ice.gov
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection, website:  www.cbp.gov

In addition, the Department of Homeland Security, website: www.dhs.gov, takes an interest in illegal immigration.

To report an employer for knowingly hiring an illegal immigrant, contact the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement toll free, at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE.

According to ICE, in its website (http://www.usbc.org/action.htm):

“You are not required to provide your identity to ICE.  All that is necessary to request an investigation by ICE is mere suspicion of employers hiring illegals. But any kind of documentation or eye witness to such activities only increases the odds that they will act. Both ICE and the IRS are especially interested in "visiting" those businesses that employ ILLEGALS "off the books" to avoid the payment of payroll taxes.”

To report illegal immigration or an illegal alien, the government suggests that you contact the local immigration field office where the immigrant is located.
