ICE Will Issue Cell Phones to Released Migrants

A law enforcement source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection says ICE Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations officers are ramping up their release or "Alternatives to Detention" capabilities.

Cell phones with tracking apps will eventually replace ankle monitoring bracelets, according to the source.

The source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, says the phones will allow for GPS tracking and check-ins using facial recognition.

The available supply of ankle bracelets will be issued until depleted-at which time the phones will circulate.

The move is expected to result in an immediate surge of migrants across the southwest border.

In 2021, $440 million was allocated to conduct the Alternatives to Detention program, a steep increase from the $149 million in 2020.Randy Clark is a 32-year veteran of the United States Border Patrol.

Prior to his retirement, he served as the Division Chief for Law Enforcement Operations, directing operations for nine Border Patrol Stations within the Del Rio, Texas, Sector.
