A law enforcement source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection says ICE Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) 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 source notes the ankle monitoring efforts have proven expensive and, in many cases, the devices are discarded. The bracelets cost between $400 and $800, depending on the model. In many cases, ERO officers are tasked with tracking and recovering the discarded devices from dumpsters. The cost of a cell phone unit is currently unknown.

If they get drivers licenses they will need cars. Since they have little money the cars need to be new and under warranty.

Sure why not? I don’t mind donating a grand of my tax for some puke’s new Galaxy S21.

I would say a phone is about the same price as the ankle bracelets.

Doesn't sound like the ERO officers are busy enough recovering discarded devices from dumpsters.

Nothing these people do surprises me anymore.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has become the Welcome Wagon.

Obama is running this clown show.

They could get older generation phones on ebay for $125-$150.
It’s the government, so I know they won’t.

To get free porn you have to give up your location. That’s smart.

Will Americans get a free cell phone to take to the gulag with them?
