A report in the New York Post indicated that the outgoing administration intends to launch an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (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.
Insiders raised concerns and warned that the move is a "half-baked" plan that will lead more asylum seekers to abscond.
The app, which is set to be launched soon in the form of a pilot program in select cities, will allow the millions of illegal migrants released into the U.S. to await their asylum proceedings and check in with immigration officials on a phone or computer, two sources familiar with the app revealed.
Department of Homeland Security sources told The Post that the app will make it easier for migrants to flee authorities in part because the software has proven to be glitchy and unreliable.
Even when it's working correctly, the new app doesn't check for past arrests or outstanding warrants – something the current system tied to in-person appointments does, sources said.
That's just one of a handful of initiatives being pushed through before inauguration day – including allowing migrants to contest government orders to undergo electronic tracking while they await their immigration appointments.
The Biden admin is also working to make changes that allow migrants to stay in the United States. In yet another move, while the illegal immigrants wait to plead their asylum cases in immigration courts, they will no longer be required to check in with their local ICE field office every few months.
Critics of the illegal border policies of Biden note that under his presidency the number of migrants illegally crossing the southern border exploded, leading to massive lines and backlogs at ICE field offices. And causing many of the problems that systems are encountering today.
CBP commissioner slams Biden's last-minute move
Former acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan slammed the Biden administration's last-minute moves as "the opposite of a peaceful transition of power."
"This is an obstructionist transition," said Morgan. "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."
Trump's move to abolish the new Biden policies could be slowed down by court challenges Morgan said. He added that he believes that these were effective in blunting Trump's immigration policies in his first administration.
As of early last year, the ICE office was already "fully booked through October 2032" for appointments to process migrants released into the U.S., according to an official document previously reviewed by The Post. A report from City Hall records there have been more than 223,000 migrants have come to the city since the migrant crisis began — and more than 58,000 are still being cared for by taxpayers in city-funded shelters.
Meanwhile, the new border czar of President-elect Trump is giving better instructions on exactly how the military will be used to aid in the mass deportations of illegal immigrants that the incoming administration has promised.
Tom Homan, who served as the ICE acting director during Trump's first term, debunked frenzied speculation from some liberals that the military could be deployed to arrest people on U.S. streets – saying that service members would be used for "non-enforcement" duties.
