Trump's transition team eyes expansion of ankle monitors for illegal immigrants not in custody
Fox News
The incoming Trump administration is looking at potentially expanding the number of illegal immigrants on GPS monitoring, while also extending the amount of time they are monitored.
Multiple sources familiar with discussions told Fox News Digital the priority for the incoming administration is the detention and deportation of illegal immigrants along with preventing them from entering the U.S. in the first place. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
However, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention capacity in the tens of thousands, compared to the millions who are not currently in detention, officials are also expected to ramp up the monitoring of those not in detention until they can be removed.
