The Biden administration is implementing a series of last-minute immigration policy changes that will put American citizens at risk and hinder the incoming Trump administration’s ability to enforce stricter immigration controls. By allowing illegal migrants to bypass in-person check-ins with ICE and weakening electronic monitoring regulations, these policies subvert the will of the American people and endanger the public.
Starting in December, New York City will be the first to roll out the new ICE Portal app, which allows migrants to skip their in-person appointments with ICE officers. This system, however, is riddled with problems, including a lack of reliable data on arrest records and outstanding warrants, making it more difficult for ICE to track criminals or those who pose a threat to public safety. Despite these issues, the Biden administration is pushing forward with the plan, effectively making it easier for migrants to evade authorities.
🚨 How is this as a parting gift from the Biden administration?

The introduction of this app is just one part of a larger set of policies that aim to complicate enforcement efforts by the incoming administration. Another change includes allowing migrants to challenge their ankle bracelets and electronic monitoring. This new rule could lead to more migrants being released from monitoring programs, making it harder for law enforcement to track their whereabouts and ensuring that they comply with immigration orders.
These moves, timed deliberately before the end of the Biden presidency, are clearly intended to create as many obstacles as possible for President Trump’s incoming administration. Critics argue that these changes will further burden the immigration system, which is already struggling to handle a growing number of illegal migrants, with more than 223,000 in New York City alone.

For many Americans, these last-minute policies represent an unfair and dangerous attempt to thwart the incoming administration’s agenda. By making it easier for migrants to avoid enforcement, the Biden administration is putting public safety at risk and weakening the ability of law enforcement to carry out their duties.
These policy changes are a betrayal of the American people, who have repeatedly called for stronger immigration enforcement. As the Biden administration attempts to push these changes through, it leaves the incoming Trump administration with an even greater challenge in restoring order to the U.S. immigration system and ensuring the safety of American citizens.
