Electronic access to the LESC is available in all 50 states through the Immigration Alien Query (IAQ) screen on NLETS. Automated responses are returned to the requesting agencys ORI. An ORI is a code that identifies the requesting law enforcement. Officers may enter remarks on the case in their inquiry and, in certain circumstances, the LESC will provide the agency with an enhanced response. Each IAQ is researched by a highly trained technician who searches ICE’s proprietary databases containing approximately 100,000 million records. The technician then writes a concise response and sends it back to the requesting agency.
