From the New York Post: The Biden administration is quietly rushing to implement new policies that will loosen restrictions on migrants who entered the US illegally — a parting attempt to thwart President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration crackdowns and mass deportations, sources tell The Post.
And the Big Apple will be ground zero for these changes.
The outgoing administration intends to launch an ICE Portal app starting in early December in New York City that will allow migrants to bypass in-person check-ins to their local ICE office.
Homeland Security sources tell The Post the app will make it easier for migrants to flee authorities in part because the software has proven to be glitchy and unreliable.
The report also notes that the new app doesn’t check for past arrests or outstanding warrants — something the current system tied to in-person appointments does. The first wave of the program will enroll up to 100,000 migrants.
The current app system reportedly requires migrants to provide proof of their current address, and the database constantly searches for arrest records for migrants anywhere in the country.
However, the new app has failed to work on Android phones, and when used on a laptop for check-ins, it doesn’t collect the GPS location of a participant — meaning they could be reporting in from anywhere, the Post writes.
Another initiative being shoved through prior to Trump’s inauguration would allow migrants to contest government orders to undergo electronic tracking while they await their immigration appointments, and allow them to demand that the monitoring be downgraded or terminated.
The last-minute policies will reportedly not be so easy for Trump to undo when he gets into office.
Former acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan slammed the Biden administration, saying, “What they’re trying to do in the last final day, they’re going to try to put up as many roadblocks and obstacles and throw as many grenades as they can on their way out.”
