How long does it take for ICE to respond to an illegal immigrant tip?

ICE responds to complaints in its own time. It is even more aggressive these days in following up on complaints, and so it will likely work very quickly if you gave a good location. On the other hand, ICE also has much more work to do given the President's priority to move undocumented immigrants en masse from the country, and so that may slow down its response time. As with all undocumented immigrants, the coyote would be entitled to a hearing before the immigration court to determine his deportability. Working under the table is generally not used as a ground of deportability in the type of situation you describe, as that has more to do with the taxing authorities.
