The Biden Administration's latest budget request includes a reduction in detention beds and in its place they primarily rely on Alternatives to Detention (ATD) where aliens are released and supposedly monitored with technology like ankle bracelets or even smartphone apps. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a new report detailing that the lax enforcement across the immigration policy sphere extends to internal oversight of their own programs. The report details that while ATD use has more than doubled in the past few years, oversight of the released aliens and the contractors running the program has seen no such expansion.

Per a scoop from Axios, the Biden Administration is launching an expansion of their attempt to release seemingly every illegal immigrant they encounter. This time they are expanding “Alternatives to detention (ATD)” with the aim of having most aliens released and on some “stricter” form of monitoring like a version of house arrest. But what isn’t really asked by Axios, and most media, is how resources are so limited that DHS cannot be expected to do their statutory duty, but yet has seemingly limitless resources to release, monitor, and manage hundreds of thousands of aliens released into the United States.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas advanced the Biden Administration's efforts this week to completely dismantle interior immigration enforcement. DHS took steps to shut down two facilities that detain illegal aliens -- one in Georgia and one in Massachusetts. Along with the closing of the Massachusetts facility, DHS announced it's also cancelling its 287(g) agreement with the Bristol County sheriff's office.
