When tipsters call ICE, the phone rings in Vermont - VTDigger

A federal immigration enforcement hotline, headquartered in Williston, takes in more than 100,000 tips from the public annually.

Bourke said the demands on the tip line may merit bringing new resources to the program. “As ICE has observed a steady increase in tips, ICE will evaluate the need to increase staffing or invest in more technology,” he said in an email.

Late last year ICE did just that. It bolstered the program’s staff of 34 full-time federal employees — all of whom are located in Williston, according to Bourke — with an additional 20 customer service representatives hired by a Maryland-based contractor to work in Vermont.

In an announcement about the contract last November, Integral Consulting Services Inc. said the representatives would “service ICE’s internal and external law enforcement customers and the public by answering calls and reviewing, analyzing, and processing tips for further action.”

Integral Consulting Services did not respond to multiple interview requests. A subcontractor on the project, XLA, also did not respond to multiple calls. Federal records show Integral Consulting Services received a six-month-long contract last September for call center support services in Williston from ICE. The award was for $592,351.
