To the OP, forget about INS(which is not what it is called now) or USCIS, they don't do that work, the enforcement is done by ICE as I have mentioned, see the ICE website:
Contact Us (http://www.ice.gov/about/contact.htm - broken link)
It says: Please call 1-866-DHS-2-ICE to report immigration or customs violations.
Even those that are well aware it is now the USCIS (after briefly being the BCIS or something) still tend to call it INS lol - so get off your high horse
Welcome to city-data, to quote me you can click on the "Reply with Quote" button, otherwise it seems your replying to the OP (just some advice if your going to post in CD (that is short for city-data))
There is no disrespect meant in my advice to ignore such advice, I think it is safe to say that it is not well-informed advice and that the OP is better served ignoring it. You can agree or disagree, but I'm just trying to help the OP out. If I asked for help on an issue, I would much appreciate it if people helped me out as to what advice to ignore, and what to pay attention to. I know everyone wants to help out, but everyone is not well informed, and the OP should be aware of that before they search for agencies that don't exist .
Yes , thank you - I am well aware of how to quote you (if I wanted to - which I don't) - I just thought it was a little high handed of you to tell the OP to "ignore advice" purely based on your perception of whether the "right" agency name was used or not.
Good luck getting ICE, the police or code enforcement to do anything about them. I would be shocked if they did. I've tried and they just won't do anything.

Without a legal right to be in the US, there would be no need to go thru the eviction process.
You could put them out, they wont be taking you to court, but there may be ramifications you don't want,
move on and rent elsewhere and remain in the country.
How long it takes the INS to act, is something I have no familiarity, but who I'd contact.
How did you come across this info, Do they pay rent in cash?
This isn't true. Courts don't care about the immigration status of tenants. If you want to evict them, you need to follow your jurisdiction's eviction laws. You are exposed to the same liability if you violate your jurisdiction's eviction laws, illegal immigrant or not. You obviously have cause because of their longterm "guests."
Illegal immigrants do take landlords to court all the time, like I said before their immigration status is not relevant to whether they can sue you or have contractual or tenant rights under the state law. If this wasn't true, you could sign an illegal immigrant to a lease, change the locks after day 1, keep all their stuff and sell it, keep all deposits, and do it over and over again, as they would have no recourse.
As for reporting an illegal immigrant to ICE, good luck with that. The last time I checked, ICE only did large scale investigations regarding large employers that institutionalize immigration fraud and criminal "rings" like coyotes and marriage fraud brokers. ICE also has a program where it deports illegal immigrants about to be released from prison for committing real crimes, but they do not investigate individual allegations whether a person is illegal or not. They also will deport people who have already been ordered deported by an immigration court because they applied for asylum or a visa and were denied. They only do this because these people have already been found to be illegal by an immigration judge and they have a specific order of deportation, plus they know where these people live (or they are in prison). They aren't set up to investigate millions of undocumented aliens, you'd need an agency the size of the U.S. military to do that.
Honestly, I've found the best way to get illegal immigrants to leave is simply to ask them to move out. Many of them don't understand the eviction process and you are not obligated to tell them that they can stick it to you for months. Plus, if you offer some financial assistance to move, most will take it.
that sucks. im trying to get my mom out of my house she has been living with me for 9 months. i am only 27 years old i am her oldest kid none of my other brothers or sister are willing to take her out of my hands, she is 46 years old job less cause she is illegal to be in the u.s. she is very aggressive and possesive. i am a u.s citizen and i wanted to help her out for a bit cause she is my mom but i made a terrible mistake and now i asked her to leave because we keep having arguments and makes threaths to hit me and she wants me to hit her so she can put me in jail and the honest truth my wife is pregnant and she cant handle this stress and i dont know what to do to get her out. i live in california i asked her to leave months ago and said no, i asked her to leave a week ago and she said the only way she is leaving is if i move out of my own home! why the hell should i move my wife and my kids just because i want her out. can she really take more time if i evict her legally by court? any advice is appreciated i contacted ice and they dont handle these kinds of situations regardless of her being illegal. hopefully thtat answers the ice questions....
