Migrant Monitoring App Fails to Track Locations, Taer Reports

New York Post reporter Jennie Taer appeared on The Ingraham Angle to expose alarming issues with the Biden administration’s approach to migrant monitoring. Taer discussed flaws in a new check-in app and changes to policies on electronic tracking devices, both of which raise significant security concerns.

Taer highlighted the app’s accountability issues. “With this, you check in by taking a photo on your phone or computer,” she explained. However, the app’s location tracking is inconsistent. “When using a phone, their location is known for only seven days. On a computer, it doesn’t track their location at all.” Glitches in the app’s performance during testing further complicate the process.

The administration’s efforts to loosen regulations on electronic monitoring also pose risks. “Ankle monitors are part of the ‘alternatives to detention’ program due to a lack of detention space,” Taer noted. However, migrants can now contest their monitoring after 90 days of compliance. “This puts added pressure on ICE officers who are already overwhelmed,” she said.

Taer shared a tragic example to illustrate the dangers of reduced monitoring. Jocelyn Unger’s alleged killer, a gang member, had been wearing an ankle monitor. “He cut it off shortly after allegedly committing the crime,” Taer revealed.

Laura emphasized the broader implications of these policies. “Gang violence and crimes tied to undocumented migrants are rising across the country,” she said. “People are fed up.”
