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.

What if they don’t have a house? They are immigrants.
House arrest WHERE? In upscale apartments paid for by the Biden administration?
I believe the correct name is: “Illegals”.
This just legitimizes them, which is what they want. It is a back door.
No; immigrants choose the legal route.
Biden and the Democrats will give them one - paid for with YOUR money.
If they don’t have a house they can just steal one.
They’ll be forced to use govt-provided debit cards (tied to the US Treasury), and must accept gov-issued cell phone and car.
The White House will do.
When they should have been hog tied and thrown back across the border.
Who’s house?
Only if it’s “casa arrest” back at their casa in their home country.
Let them go back to their own house and apply for a green card at the American embassy. That’s what they are supposed to do.
House-arrest in the US taxpayer rented-out Intercontinental hotel.
That sounds like a dream.
If the house is in Mexico, I could probably back the plan.
You could easily pack a couple dozen illegal aliens in Biden's house in Delaware. Also, Obama has at least three houses (Chicago, DC and Martha's Vinyard) and is building another one in Hawaii.
Plenty of room for snow shovelers in Fairbanks.
won’t stay in their original homeland
won’t honor our borders and stay outside
will stay in their home if asked to do so
The logic of a Leftist is truly something to behold.
