1. This is an action request for Department of Homeland
Security ICE and CBP. Please see para 4.


2. In response to recent requests by the Royal Oman Police
(reftel),the Embassy seeks DHS assistance in arranging a
senior-level Omani government delegation to visit immigration
detention/deportation facilities in the U.S. with a specific
focus on handling potential victims of trafficking in persons.


3. Oman deports over 10,000 illegal migrants every year.
The Royal Oman Police (ROP),in an effort to learn more about
international techniques in processing illegal migrants,
including screening them for possible victims of human
trafficking, is seeking an opportunity to visit U.S.
facilities to observe U.S. Customs and Border Protection
processes, including interviewing and investigation
techniques. As part of their visit, the ROP Operations
Officers would also be interested in visiting shelters,
non-governmental organizations and other support services
that aid victims of trafficking.


4. Action Request: The Embassy requests the assistance of
DHS's Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Human
Trafficking Unit in facilitating a visit to relevant USG
facilities and consultations with immigration and
anti-trafficking officials. The Embassy would like to
present the Omani government with a proposed agenda for a 1-2
week program to occur in early FY 07. This exchange program
will not only buttress international protections against
trafficking in persons, but also further solidify a growing
relationship between USG and Oman customs and border
protection personnel.
