Under the Trump administration, ICE has begun requiring migrants checking in for their appointments to wear ankle monitors, as a more stringent measure to ensure attendance at immigration court and compliance with legal processes. This policy shift highlights a departure from previous practices observed during the Biden administration, where monitoring and accountability saw less enforcement. The Intensive Supervision Appearance Program, aimed at tracking migrants, has significantly increased with 'thousands' of monitors dispatched across the US to facilitate this new oversight.
The migrants required to report to their local ICE offices do not... have deportation orders yet but are expected to get the boot for various reasons.
Thousands of ankle monitors are now being 'shipped' throughout the US for ICE to massively expand the plan, which is known as the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program.
Now that is supposed to change; during the Biden administration, people absconded, and no one went to look for them.
Each participant wearing an ankle monitor costs taxpayers roughly $2.75 per day, compared to the daily rate of $152 that it costs to hold an immigrant in detention.
