ICE Is Putting Ankle Monitors on People Who Show Up for Immigration Court Hearings
By Kate Morrissey


As of late August, ICE was monitoring more than 182,000 people in the alternatives-to-detention program, which includes GPS tracking through ankle monitors or bracelets and other check-in requirements, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRAC, which analyzes government data through public records requests. The organization cautioned that ICE’s data on alternatives to detention may have errors in it. People in the program have been monitored on average more than 700 days, TRAC reported.
