00:00Now to Straight From You. You spoke and we listened. Every week we poll your best comments and questions from our YouTube community.

00:13And this week, one topic towered above the rest. This is Straight From You, where your curiosity drives the conversation.

00:20We break down fact from fiction, minus the spin. A clarification this morning on a question we keep hearing.

00:25Is Border Patrol part of ICE? And inside ICE, who actually does the arrests?

00:32Okay, here we go with the answer. Follow me here. The short answer is no. Border Patrol is not part of ICE.

00:38It operates under Customs and Border Protection, or CBP. ICE is a separate agency.

00:44Both, though, sit under the Department of Homeland Security. Here's who does what.

00:49CBP, and specifically Border Patrol, handles enforcement at and between ports of entry.

00:54Their job is stopping unlawful crossings and inspecting what comes into the country.

01:00By law, CBP can operate in a so-called border zone that extends up to 100 miles from any land border or coastline.

01:09Think big cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

01:13Constitutional limits still apply, but that's the footprint.

01:16ICE focuses on the U.S. interior.

01:18Once people are past the border process, ICE arrests, detains, and removes immigration violators.

01:25Inside ICE, there are two main branches.

01:28You'll hear about HSI, Homeland Security Investigations.

01:32That's ICE's criminal investigative arm, including smuggling, trafficking, cyber and financial crimes,

01:38illegal tech, exports, IP theft, and child exploitation cases.

01:43ERO, enforcement and removal operations, now that's the civil immigration side.

01:50They locate, arrest, detain, and remove people from immigration violations or final orders of removal,

01:56and manage detention standards.

01:59How the handoff works?

02:00Well, if someone is caught between ports of entry, CBP processes first.

02:06After that, ICE takes over.

02:07HSI, if it's a criminal case, ERO, for detention and removal in the interior.

02:14In a big surge, or big surge operations, you may see both in the same place,

02:19but they have different mandates and separate chains of command, if you will.

02:23One quick rights note.

02:25Even in that 100-mile zone we talked about,

02:28officers generally need reasonable suspicion to detain and probable cause to arrest.

02:33You have the right to remain silent, and limits still apply to searches without consent or probable cause.

02:40All right, here's number two.

02:41Why do we name hurricanes, especially human names?

02:44Very timely topic, of course, based on what we've seen Hurricane Melissa do to Jamaica and other parts this week.

02:51Well, here's the answer.

02:52Clarity and speed.

02:54NOAA says short, distinct names cut confusion when multiple storms spin up at once

02:59and make warnings easier to hear, repeat, and act on.

03:03We didn't always do it this way, though.

03:05For centuries, storms were tagged by date or place.

03:08Galveston, 1900, and in the West Indies, by saints' days.

03:13World War II, U.S. meteorologists popularized women's names in the Pacific.

03:18The U.S. formalized women-only names in 1953.

03:22Advocacy in the 1960s and 70s led to alternating male and female names by 1979.

03:28Today, the World Meteorological Organization keeps six-year rotating lists.

03:33Names get retired when a storm is exceptionally deadly or costly.

03:37For instance, Katrina in 2005 and Andrew in 1992, and they're replaced on future lists.

03:43If an Atlantic season tops 21 named storms, forecasters now pull from a supplemental list instead of Greek letters.
