Which type of individuals are classified as "high-risk" targets by ERO?

Individuals classified as "high-risk" targets by ERO include those with serious criminal convictions or gang affiliations due to the potential threats they may pose to public safety and community well-being. This classification is based on the understanding that such individuals have a history of behavior that can indicate a pattern of criminal activity, making them a priority for enforcement actions.

When assessing high-risk targets, ERO focuses on those who may have been involved in serious offenses, including felonies, or who are associated with gangs that engage in violent crime, drug trafficking, or other illicit activities. These factors contribute to the level of risk they present compared to individuals with minor infractions or those who contribute positively to their communities.

In contrast, individuals with minor traffic violations are generally not seen as high-risk, nor are those who are recognized for their good standing in the community. Furthermore, children under the age of 18 are typically afforded special considerations under immigration policies, which further differentiates them from high-risk classifications.
