NAFSA staff recently met with officials from the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) and the Counterterrorism and Criminal Exploitation Unit (CTCEU) to learn more about the CTCEU initiatives mentioned at several NAFSA regional conferences. They explained that Brian Smeltzer was recently appointed Unit Chief of the Compliance Enforcement Unit (CEU), and the unit’s name was changed to Counterterrorism and Criminal Exploitation Unit (CTCEU). The CTCEU has three sections:
- the National Security Threat Task Force
- the SEVIS Exploitation Section
- the Terrorist Tracking Pursuit Group
