Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

I brought my wife over from the Philippines on K1 visa and married on March 12, 2013. Since being married we have not filed her AOS and its now been 1 yr 6 mo. She has since left me on August 27, 2014. I notified immigration and ICE as I was instructed to do about her leaving and our filing for divorce. Immigration and ICE both told me that she is in illegal or non status and that she is now illegally in the USA. I filed my reports with both on Sept 25, 2014 and gave them all her information including where she is staying. She has moved again and I will notify ICE on Monday of her new address again. We have one child together that the judge ordered this past week will stay in Florida and will not go back to the Philippines. And the divorce is being handled in Florida where we have lived. She has stated many times she wishes to go back to the Philippines. My question is seeing she is now illegally in the USA how long does it take for the authorities to pick her up and deport her seeing reports have been made with both Immigration and ICE? Are the local authorities legally obligated to enforce immigration law and pick up someone who's K1 visa and I-94 are expired if they know where the person is located? What can I do to help the authorities to expedite her pick up to be deported?
