Washington, D.C. (HNNUSA) - On Wednesday, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in a press release issued its strategic plan for Fiscal Years 2010-2014. This comprehensive plan lays out how ICE will most effectively meet its responsibilities for criminal investigation and civil immigration enforcement over the next five years.

The U.S. Department of Labor already is promoting "We Can Help" program to assist undocumented workers in filing complaints against employers who abuse, exploit and don't pay equal wages to them as citizen counterpart workers. ICE did not confirm, if the agency will work with the labor department to help prosecute employers for abuse and exploitation of illegal workers.
The five year ICE plan will focus on reducing the duration of alien's stay in ICE custody and increase compliance with final removal. The agency included plans to reform the immigration detention system and provides for improve medical, mental health and dental care and ensuring more uniform care.
The agency plan will hire additional auditors to monitor and audit ICE's functions.
