ICE plans to expand GPS monitoring to nearly all immigrants in its Alternatives to Detention program.

ICE plans to expand GPS ankle monitors on nearly all 183,000 immigrants in its Alternatives to Detention program, up from the current 24,000. The directive, outlined in a June memo, aims to boost surveillance of those awaiting immigration decisions, with pregnant women to use wrist monitors instead. Critics argue this could turn daily life into a "digital cage" for many without criminal histories.
