Biden admin seeking to place illegal immigrants under home curfew instead of detention: reports
The number of migrants in 'alternatives to detention' has increased dramatically in the last year
By Adam Shaw , Rich Edson | Fox News
The Biden administration is reportedly looking at a new program to roll back the use of detention for illegal immigrants, instead releasing them on the condition they remain under a curfew.
Sources briefed on the situation told Fox News that the Biden administration has steadily been increasing the use of "alternatives to detention" (ATD), including tracking bracelets, smartphone apps and telephone reporting, rather than detaining migrants. This allows them to live and work in the U.S.
The Biden administration has been facing a surge in migrant encounters that is moving into its second year and is seeing more migrants from countries like Russia and India making their way to the border. There were approximately 1.7 million migrant encounters in FY 2021.
