In a blatant attempt to frustrate the incoming Trump administration, the Biden administration is pushing through dangerous immigration policy changes that will make it easier for illegal migrants to remain in the U.S. One of the most controversial moves is the launch of an ICE Portal app in New York City, which will allow migrants to bypass in-person check-ins with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), making it harder for authorities to track individuals who have entered the country illegally.
This new app, set to roll out in December, has already been tested in several cities, with experts raising concerns about its technical reliability. The app fails to verify key information, such as arrest records or warrants, which are crucial for law enforcement in tracking dangerous individuals. By allowing migrants to report their status remotely, the app makes it easier for people to avoid detection and evade deportation.
🚨 How is this as a parting gift from the Biden administration?

The Biden administration’s decision to roll out the app is part of a broader strategy to make immigration enforcement more lenient as it exits office. In addition to the app, the administration is also loosening regulations around electronic monitoring for migrants, allowing them to contest their tracking status and potentially have their ankle bracelets removed. This will create an opening for dangerous individuals to disappear and avoid compliance with immigration laws.
These policy changes directly undermine the wishes of the American people, who have consistently called for stronger border controls and immigration enforcement. By making it easier for migrants to bypass essential check-ins and monitoring, the Biden administration is prioritizing the comfort of illegal migrants over the safety and security of U.S. citizens. This is a clear example of how the current administration is trying to create as many obstacles as possible for the incoming Trump administration.

In New York City, where the ICE Portal app will be introduced, local resources are already stretched thin by the overwhelming number of illegal migrants. With more than 223,000 migrants arriving since the start of the migrant crisis, these policy changes will further burden local law enforcement and make it harder to ensure that migrants comply with the law.
These changes are a direct affront to the incoming administration and its plans to restore order and enforce immigration laws. The app and the loosening of electronic monitoring regulations will create significant challenges for the Trump administration, which has promised to prioritize the safety of American citizens and secure the border. This last-minute maneuvering is a dangerous move that subverts the will of the American people and endangers the lives of citizens across the U.S.
