Biden Admin Awards $80 Million Contract That Prohibits GPS Monitoring Of Illegal Immigrants Experts say system will make it impossible to keep track of migrants released into US

The Biden administration is spending nearly $80 million on a new system to monitor illegal immigrants that prohibits the use of any GPS technology, a decision that experts say will make it impossible to locate their whereabouts after their release into the United States.

The system, according to government records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, is meant to track illegal immigrants via monthly check-ins via phone. Migrants released into the U.S. interior aged 18-19 are eligible for the program. Any GPS monitoring that would give exact locations, such as ankle monitor tracking, is explicitly forbidden, according to the contract.

"This sort of thing is popular among the left. It sounds great but the reality is that people in these programs will likely never be [deported]," former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Ron Vitiello told the Free Beacon. "There's nothing at the end of these programs. If they don't report in, that's that. They're now a fugitive."

The new program for illegal immigrants contradicts claims from the Biden administration that the federal government is investing in sophisticated monitoring programs for illegal immigrants during the worst border crisis in U.S. history. When Republican lawmakers criticized the White House over reports in April that immigration authorities were providing cell phones for illegal immigrants upon their release into the United States, the White House defended the conduct, saying the phones assist the government in monitoring the location of illegal immigrants.

"We need to take steps to ensure that we know where individuals are and we can track and we can check in with them," former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.

The contract was awarded to Acuity International last month. The first payment of just over $16 million out of a potential $79.5 million was paid on Sept. 1.

DOH! Look, free phones with no tracking aloud. The trespassers now get the same freedom to move about as we U.S. citizens have without being tracked by big brother....... Hey, wait a minute................... Well, can they at least track the credit cards they'll be getting? Or the ebt cards? Or activate the trackers in the CONvid shots they get upon entry....... Hey, wait another minute............... Uh, jen puss-saki, they WON'T be checking in. And, pretty sure it's more than just 18-19 year olds being dumped at BFE! 📴😵‍💫

Roughly 2 million have entered so far.

Out of those roughly 2 million, how many are terrorist wannabe’s or actual terrorists that were NOT caught via the Terrorist Watch List, etc.?

The utter idiocy of the BidenIdiot Regime knows no bounds.

Why do they need $80 million to not track illegals?

Where is that money going, or... to whom???

Don't delude yourself.

This is planned. This is desired.

This is what the Left (Biden regime) and the Chinese, want.

I guess they learned something from "2000 Mules".

They want to be able to command them to vote wherever they are at but not be tracked at ballot boxes?

Last figures I heard were over 4 million and 900,000 known gotta-ways wet-backs since the Democrats took over the US.

So Biden will track illegals to make certain nobody tracks illegals.

This stupid article makes no sense.

After which the State will (obviously) need another Patriot Act, this time on steroids, and directed at Americans not terrorists.

LOL! I ‘believe’ them when they say “Oh, okay we won’t track you.” They may be able to ping towers for me but MY option is no google tracking. Doesn’t mean google ain’t doing it anyway.

Thank you. If people think they don’t know what they are doing and that they are just a bunch of imbiciles. No, this is pure EVIL on its face. What’s even worse is that there are true imbiciles out there that don’t think once or twice about spending all this money to not do anything.
