Original Date Announced
July 24, 2025According to the Washington Post, a June 9 internal ICE memo directed staff to place ankle monitors on everyone enrolled in the agency's Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program "whenever possible." This program allows the government to monitor individuals living outside of detention as they complete their immigration proceedings. Currently, ankle bracelets are used on only 13% of ATD participants, while the majority of participants are subject to less intrusive monitoring methods, such as being required to complete virtual check-ins on a smartphone app. Immigrants' rights advocates have expressed concerns with the expanded use of ankle monitors, which are physically cumbersome and socially stigmatizing.
