From Breitbart: President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is building what critics are calling a “ghost mode operation” so migrants can more easily stay in the United States after they are released from federal custody at the southern border.
The little-known pilot program, operated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), is meant to reduce the frequency with which migrants released into the U.S. interior from the border must report to an ICE field office, people familiar with the matter detailed to Breitbart News.
Rather than the standard of having migrants check in with an ICE agent in person, the program allows migrants to check in via a cellphone or computer. A key flaw with the program, critics say, is that ICE agents are unable to grab GPS data on migrants who check in with a computer.
Even more alarming is that the program does not yet have any consequences for migrants who fail to check in with ICE agents via cellphone or computer, critics note.
The report explains that although “GPS data is grabbed by ICE agents for migrants checking in through their cellphones, people familiar with the matter said that data is only stored for a week, rendering it useless afterward should agents need to locate a migrant weeks, months, or years later.”
RJ Hauman, president of the National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE), warned, “As if releasing millions of illegal aliens into our country wasn’t bad enough, now Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are allowing those released illegals to go ‘ghost mode,’ making it almost impossible for ICE agents to locate them in the future, should they abscond.”
Noting this is a true national security risk, former ICE agent Jon Feere of the Center for Immigration Studies, said, “The administration should be trying to hire more ICE officers. Instead, they’ve allowed millions of largely unknown individuals to enter our country and are now reducing monitoring of these individuals in a manner that is sure to undermine public safety.”
Breitbart highlights other programs promoted by the Biden-Harris administration, including:
- Plan to issue ID cards to illegal aliens once they have crossed the border and been released into the US, to make it easy for migrants to pass through Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screenings at airports.
- Last year the Biden-Harris administration proposed the “Release and Reporting Management” (RRM) program which would have migrants released into the United States interior check in with ICE agents electronically just once a year.
