Non-detained docket has exploded in recent years to more than 7.6 million people
EXCLUSIVE: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has ended two programs that provide social services to illegal immigrants who are released into the U.S. interior, telling lawmakers that one brings "immense cost with little improvement" and that another is out of line with ICE’s mission.
The agency responded to Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., and 15 members of Congress who wrote to ICE in May asking for more information about the "Alternatives to Detention" program, which monitors illegal immigrants not in ICE detention. The agency defended the program and said it was "an efficient and effective" program for monitoring a segment of illegal immigrants on ICE’s non-detained docket.
ICE only has around 40,000 beds available at one time while it has a non-detained docket of nearly 7.7 million people, a number that has soared during the Biden administration. Of those, just over 181,000 are enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention monitoring program, where migrants are monitored either by an app check-in or a GPS monitor.
But in recent years, the agency has also created separate programs to offer various services and assistance to those not in detention. In the letter, the agency says some of those programs are ending. One is the Wraparound Stabilization Service (WSS), which ICE says began in February 2020 and involves working with NGOs to offer "services that provide psychosocial and behavioral health support for vulnerable participants and their families who would benefit from additional stabilization services."
ICE says the program stopped referrals in July and that the program was ineffective in what it sought to do, having only a 2% higher compliance rate from those who took part in services compared to those who did not.

When it comes to anything relating to government, “immense costs” are a feature, not a bug.
having only a 2% higher compliance rate from those who
took part in services compared to those who did not.
At least ‘they’ whomever that may be at least has taken
efforts to reduce the cost to the tax payers.
Deport them all! Secure the border!
Stop all payments to the illegals and sue the NGO’s for interfering with immigration policy.
“Deport them all! Secure the border!”
Ironic isn’t it? The very agency that is supposed to do that is paying for their lavish lifestyles instead.
Good to see you out on the board Sir... :)
As someone else here noted, their database has a HUGE LIST for Homan to start his deportations. So them shutting down early allows them to bleach the data.
Rebuild North Carolina and deport each and every illegal.
ICE shuts down programs offering services to illegal immigrants, citing ‘immense’ WASTE
All Social Services for Illegal Aliens should be paid for by Public Employee’s and Officers of the Court by a Special Assessment on their Incomes, Tips, Wages and Assets.
I had to Sign Away my Income and Assets for 10 years for my Wife to get her Green Card.
More money switcherooed from ICE to Ukraine with consumately greater kick backs into Dem coffers.
Maybe illegal immigrants will get the hint and self deporting seeing as how their “cash cow” has dried up.
Something hidden is going on. The government NEVER lets little things like “immense costs with little improvement” or a program being “out of line with ICE’s mission” stop them from wasting our money and destroying the country.
I smell a rat.
Illegals and climate crap...and we might be able to take care of “the people”.
Yes, Jim, this!
Should have done it a long time ago; probably didn’t because of fear of reprisals by the “Biden” administration.
PS - and why the bleep were they released into the interior of the country? Well, the answer is they were forced to by the criminal government.
I think post #13 explains what is going on.
