Does anyone know the current slang expression in Spanish for an INS agent?

Thanks.

Migra is a general term, slang for imigracion, used for anyone who can kick your butt out of the country. But the INS is no more, it's now part of the Dept. of Homeland Security.

Thanks so much--but they really abolished the INS? I thought they just stuck the agency into the Fatherland Security Department.

I'm currently going through this right now & it's through the Dept of Homeland Security AND the National Visa Center.

Migra is a common term for immigration.
