Report: Biden Admin Plans To Increase Number of Immigrants Released Into US As Border Surge Continues

The Biden administration reportedly plans to increase the number of illegal immigrants released into the United States while the country faces an ongoing migrant crisis at the overwhelmed southern border.

Internal communications within the Department of Homeland Security, accessed by Fox News, revealed that the agency intends to make its Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program more “efficient,” increasing the number of illegal aliens let out into the country as migrant holding facilities are overwhelmed.

According to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement‘s website, under the ATD program, undocumented migrants who unlawfully entered the country are let out into the United States as they await legal proceedings.

They are subject to varying degrees of supervision while they wait.

ATD supervision ranges from office or home visits to mandated checking-in at local ICE centers to GPS monitoring. The supervision level is decided case-by-case.

According to Fox, as the United States is overwhelmed by the current surge of illegal aliens at the U.S.-Mexico border, several migrants let out into the U.S. have been allowed to leave border facilities without court appearance notices.

The plan to increase ATD enrollments is one of several recent developments concerning the Biden administration’s approach to the border crisis
