This almost impenetrable maze of agencies and divisions is partly an artifact of the post-9/11 reorganization of federal law enforcement that created DHS in 2003. Prior to that, the two main agencies were INS ("Immigration and Naturalization Service"), which was part of DoJ, and Customs, which was part of Treasury. (INS would stamp your passport, and Customs would go through your luggage). Both agencies also had field and investigative divisions. But all that went out the window in 2003.
