Sen. Ted Cruz proposes the "Justice for Jocelyn Act" to tighten Alternative to Detention program, mandating detention and GPS monitoring during case processing.

Sen. Ted Cruz advocates for the "Justice for Jocelyn Act" to tighten the Department of Homeland Security's Alternative to Detention program. Proposed legislation would mandate detaining migrants in custody during case processing, with GPS monitoring and curfews for released immigrants wearing ankle bracelets. The bill also requires maintaining detention centers to capacity, potentially preventing crimes like the murder of Jocelyn Nungaray by released migrants.
