The Biden administration is spending nearly $80 million on a new system to monitor illegal immigrants that prohibits the use of any GPS technology, a decision that experts say will make it impossible to locate their whereabouts after their release into the United States.
The system, according to government records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, is meant to track illegal immigrants via monthly check-ins via phone. Migrants released into the U.S. interior aged 18-19 are eligible for the program. Any GPS monitoring that would give exact locations, such as ankle monitor tracking, is explicitly forbidden, according to the contract.
"This sort of thing is popular among the left. It sounds great but the reality is that people in these programs will likely never be [deported]," former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Ron Vitiello told the Free Beacon. "There's nothing at the end of these programs. If they don't report in, that's that. They're now a fugitive."
The new program for illegal immigrants contradicts claims from the Biden administration that the federal government is investing in sophisticated monitoring programs for illegal immigrants during the worst border crisis in U.S. history. When Republican lawmakers criticized the White House over reports in April that immigration authorities were providing cell phones for illegal immigrants upon their release into the United States, the White House defended the conduct, saying the phones assist the government in monitoring the location of illegal immigrants.
"We need to take steps to ensure that we know where individuals are and we can track and we can check in with them," former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.
The contract was awarded to Acuity International last month. The first payment of just over $16 million out of a potential $79.5 million was paid on Sept. 1.

It’s too expensive to finish the wall but we can afford to give cell phones to Untracked, Unvetted, UN-medical checked and unemployable, Undocumented immigrants.
Well that’s the plan. Its an infestation.

Good, DeSantis can fly them into Martha’s Vineyard after midnight with no tracking. It would not be a bad idea for the US to cede Martha’s Vineyard to Mexico as we don’t really need their little island with faulty bridges that cause drunk politicians to wind up in the drink forcing them to swim home while leaving them passengers to fend for themselves

I paid estimated taxes this week. I pay a lot of taxes. It outrages me beyond all measure that expenditures have no relation to income, and that they piss it away without a second thought. Here 80 million bucks…just for show
