Biden Wants to Give Record 5.7M Migrants Free Medical & Housing
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is currently overseeing a record number of 5.7 million non-detained migrants in the US, according to paperwork detailing ICE’s “Release and Reporting Management” (RRM) program. The Biden government’s plan is to provide these migrants with free medical services, food, and housing, with private companies joining ICE in monitoring migrants through ankle monitors, phone apps, and in-person check-ins. The program, estimated to cost billions of dollars, has been criticized by former ICE director Tom Homan as a “welfare” program for non-detained migrants. The services for RRM participants would include legal assistance, psychosocial services, medical services, and more, aimed at increasing compliance with immigration obligations.
