WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Biden administration will place hundreds of migrants caught at the U.S.-Mexico border on house arrest in the coming weeks as it seeks cheaper alternatives to immigration detention, according to a notice to lawmakers and a DHS official.
A 120-day pilot program will be launched in Houston and Baltimore, with 100-200 single adults enrolled in each location, according to the notice, which was sent by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The Biden administration plans to ask Congress for funding to place as many as 400,000 migrants this year in alternatives to detention, which could include the home curfew initiative as well as existing programs, the DHS official said. The total number of migrants in such programs would be higher since only heads of households are enrolled.
About 164,000 are currently in alternative-to-detention programs, according to ICE, roughly double the total on Sept. 30, 2020, before Biden took office.

“The Biden administration plans to ask Congress”
See my tagline.
Almost all of the family groups have relatives in the United States. We actually have to call the relatives and confirm the address and let them know they have relatives coming. Some people are suprised to get a call from the Border Patrol at 2 a.m. letting them know that they have family coming.
As long as they are house-arrested in Pelosi’s house.
Immigrants have houses? Is Biden buying them houses now?
Deport them all.
They are NOT immigrants.
Immigrants are people who apply for, wait for, pay for and comply with the documents that make them immigrants.
These people are ILLEGAL ALIENS!
Let me get this straight. They want something cheaper than the detention centers that are already there. So they want more money for house arrests? Something doesn’t add up.
In rat areas where they can pose as registered voters, since, of course,no ID is required...
Tu casa es mi casa.
Si, y muy pronto...
Evidently they have plans to "officially smuggle" tens of millions more. Even if the DOJ or courts wanted to do something about it, the size of the illegal population would be, well, see Cloward-Piven.
They must be pretending to care how much it costs because it's not their money. Eventually many of them would suffer too, but it would be too late.
