# ICEPIC **Domain:** Austin Research / Surveillance **Doc Type:** Research entity **Source basis:** Supplied essay and the specifically identified records; verification scope is recorded in [[wiki/Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger|the evidence ledger]]. **ICEPIC**, Immigration and Customs Enforcement Pattern Analysis and Information Collection, is the DHS information environment exposed to state and local partners through the historical [[wiki/DHS Law Enforcement Information Sharing Service|LEIS Service]]. The briefing identifies ICEPIC on the federal side of the interface between DHS and a local system. The described service exposes selected person-centered TECS and ENFORCE information through standardized query and response messages. Initial matches can return basic identity and address information; detailed responses can supply additional identifiers and contextual fields. The briefing separates shared records, sensitive categories, and planned expansion, making the version and permitted scope of the interface important. For the Austin cluster, ICEPIC names a concrete federal endpoint behind [[wiki/Law Enforcement Analysis Portal|LEAP]]’s regional presentation. The MOU partner listing and the service description together explain how federal information could become accessible through a council-of-governments portal. Actual Austin query histories and any onward transfer of Austin records require the relevant implementation and audit evidence. This interface is distinct from the [[wiki/Homeland Security Information Network|HSIN]] watchlist-notification route. They connect different information products and operational steps within the larger surveillance field. ## Connected entries [[wiki/DHS Law Enforcement Information Sharing Service|DHS Law Enforcement Information Sharing Service]] · [[wiki/Law Enforcement Analysis Portal|Law Enforcement Analysis Portal]] · [[wiki/OneDOJ|OneDOJ]] · [[wiki/Homeland Security Information Network|Homeland Security Information Network]] · [[wiki/Computational Addressability|Computational Addressability]] ## Sources and corpus context - [[research/The Austin Surveillance Field|The Austin Surveillance Field]] - [DHS — Law Enforcement Information Sharing Service briefing, slides 4–16; existing MOUs on slide 15](https://info.publicintelligence.net/DHS-LEISS.pdf) **Cluster:** [[wiki/Austin Surveillance Field|Austin Surveillance Field]] · [[wiki/Austin Executable Loop|Austin Executable Loop]] · [[wiki/Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger|Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger]]
