ICE Plans to Track Over 180,000 Immigrants With Ankle Monitors: Report

ICE plans to expand its use of e -monitoring of migrants from about 24,000 people currently equipped with ankle ankle screens to about 183,000 people, according to a report issued by The Washington Post. This step will continue to bulldozing the money to the private prison industry, whose money has been collected on the grip since President Donald Trump’s opening for the second time in January.

ICE issued an internal note on June 9 on the so -called detention alternatives, which allows migrants to stay outside the prison or detention camps while hearing their cases. The memo ordered approximately 183,000 adults participating in the program, which often includes check -in with courts and immigration employees, to be equipped with observers, according to reality.

Pregnant women will be asked to wear a GPS wrist instead of the ankle screen, according to new reports. Although ankle screens may seem better than locking some ice detention attachments, they are still inhuman. It is also known that the ankle monitors leave bruises and rash and is said to have a terrible battery life, which makes them uncomfortable for people trying to go to their day without the flag being put as a violation of the conditions for their release.

As not noticed, the tracking program is run by BI Inc. , It is a subsidiary of the Geo Group group, which started in 1978 by creating a livestock tracking device. Smartlink, a smartphone application that uses face recognition to verify the identity and location of the immigrant in the program, is used in the vast majority of examination recordings, although Ice does not think this method is good enough, given the PIVOT for more ankle screens. Ice did not answer the questions that Gizmodo sent on Thursday.

The special prison industry was euphoria after President Trump beat Kamala Harris in November 2024. The Gio and Curnevic Group witnessed the high price of its shares after the election day. GEO Group moved from $ 14.18 on November 4, the day before the elections, to $ 26.48 only two days after the elections. Likewise, Corecivic moved from $ 13.19 to $ 23.94. Geo Group closed at $ 24.55 on Thursday, and Corecivic closed at $ 19.97.

“An expansionist approach to monitoring many millions of individuals currently working on the schedule of immigrants is not explained,” said the head of the GEO and Coo Wayne Calabrese Group in calling that the Trump administration is expected to take a “expansionist approach to monitoring many millions of individuals currently working on the schedule of immigrants who are not explained,” according to HuffPost.

“We have emphasized the snow of our ability to increase our capabilities to monitor and oversee several hundred thousand, or even several million individuals, in order to achieve the goals of compliance with the immigration law in the federal government.” The only big problem, as the post shows, is that ICE wants a lot of new ankle screens that may not have Geo Group the ability to expand it quickly, which means that the agency can govern other sellers.

Kalapres noticed the call that the Republicans had previously proposed the idea of monitoring 7 million immigrants in the United States with a form of monitoring, whether through ankle devices or mobile monitoring. Geo Group donated a million dollars for the Trump re -election campaign through a group called Make Make Great Great Again Inc. , According to OpenSecrets. The company contributed an additional amount of $ 500,000 in the Trump opening committee, according to the crew. They seem to have the value of their money.
