ICE's Ankle Monitor Expansion: A Pattern of Unchecked Power The recent report of nearly 54,000 immigrants being tracked through GPS enabled ankle monitors as part of a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) electronic surveillance program raises concerns about government overreach.
This expansion is not an isolated incident but rather the latest manifestation of a broader trend where private interests profit from unchecked power.
The number of immigrants enrolled in this surveillance program has remained relatively stable at around 184,000, while the use of ankle monitors has increased dramatically.
