EXCLUSIVE: New Wristband Monitors For Illegal Migrants Aim To ‘Destigmatize’ Enforcement With ‘Less Obtrusive’ Design
Daily Caller ^ | 4/21/23 | Jennie Taer

Posted on 04/22/2023 3:08:54 AM PDT by CFW

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is introducing wristband monitors to lessen the stigma associated with tracking illegal migrants released into the U.S. interior, according to an internal document and two U.S. officials who spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

ICE said in the unreleased statement that the program will be tested in a “limited” capacity in Denver as part of its Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program, which uses ankle monitors, cellphones and phone applications to track illegal immigrants released into the country. The two officials told the DCNF that the new technology was introduced to appease organizations like the ACLU by destigmatizing GPS monitoring that’s usually conducted with ankle bracelets.

“ICE is transitioning into a more humane way of monitoring noncitizens enrolled in the ATD program after facing backlash from civil rights organizations, stating that the traditional GPS ankle monitor criminalized the noncitizens, and restricted them from ordinary every day life. In order to destigmatize ATD monitoring, ICE has announced that the use of a ‘tracking wristband or watch’ will now be considered and implemented in the near future,” an ICE agent, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak, told the DCNF.

“The wristband or watch thing was discussed last year when GPS monitors and phones were becoming an issue to get,” the agent added.

ICE acting chief Tae Johnson confirmed to Congress Tuesday that the agency will begin using the new technology just weeks ahead of an expected surge in illegal migrants at the Southern border after May 11, when the Trump-era expulsion order known as Title 42 is set to end.

Of course, the main concern is that illegal aliens do not feel stigmatized when invading our country.

They mean warn you as a member of the general public that you are dealing with a criminal.

My dad and grandfather were Border Patrol officers. i was an Immigration Inspector. My son is a federal investigator. The longer I love, the more foolish our politicians become, the more degraded our American culture becomes, and the more lax the security of our borders become. Come, Lord Jesus. A nation that does not enforce its borders does not protect its citizens.

Yep, just look at this land/country after Columbus sailed the
ocean blue in 1492. The black, brown & white skinned people
took over and placed the red skinned natives onto reservations.
Chit happens if no one takes responsibility.

This will be a heavy lift to turn this around. This is now officially out of control. The suffering and humiliation of the American people has to end.

It would be helpful if democRATs had to wear distinctive wristbands. You can’t rely on these marxists to self-identify with one of those “we believe” signs in their yard or drive around with a “coexist” bumper sticker. You have to wait until they speak.
