Buck… Read the report. The list of countries, where Israel appears, is Appendix D.

In addition to the Terrorist Watchlist screening, ICE [Immigration Customs and Enforcement] uses a Third Agency Check (TAC) to screen aliens from specially designated countries (SDCs) that have shown a tendency to promote, produce, or protect terrorist organizations or their members (see appendix D for a list of SDCs).The purpose of the additional screening is to determine whether other agencies have an interest in the alien. ICE’s policy requires officers to conduct TAC screenings only for aliens from SDCs if the aliens are in ICE custody. As a result, ICE does not perform a TAC for the majority of its population of aliens, which includes those incarcerated or released under supervision. Figure 2 shows the portion of aliens from SDCs who ICE held in detention.
