ICE developed the LENS interface within the EARM application to send notifications to other state and local law enforcement agencies via the NLETS. A LENS notification message is triggered when an alien convicted of a violent or serious crime (e.g., homicide, sexual assault, aggravated assault, or robbery) is released from ICE custody. If the criminal alien indicates that he plans to reside in a different state than the one to which he is released, ICE will also automatically notify the law enforcement agency of the state of intended residence.
