Summary

Despite Trump’s pledge to deport all detained migrants, some arrested in recent crackdowns have been released due to ICE detention space limits and federal court restrictions.

Those released are monitored through Alternatives to Detention, which includes ankle monitors and check-ins.

ICE prioritizes detaining individuals deemed public safety threats, while others—such as Venezuelans who couldn’t be deported—were considered for release.

Trump recently announced Venezuela will now accept deportees. ICE is exploring expanding monitoring programs to manage capacity challenges.

    Sounds like ICE needs more prisons. Don’t bother with buildings. Just fences and tents. Might as well get free labour from them as well, seeing as they will just be sitting around doing nothing.
    As for expanding monitoring programs, I feel some sort of yellow badge that immigrants must wear.

    Obviously, I am describing concentration camps and the badges the Nazis made Jews wear.
    Just to continue highlighting similarities.
    I just wanted to make it clear that my suggestions are sarcasm, and yet the parallels are really fucking scary.
