As the Biden administration enters its final days, it is quietly pushing through a series of last-minute policy changes designed to subvert the will of the American people and complicate the incoming Trump administration’s efforts to secure the U.S. border. These changes, including the rollout of an ICE Portal app in New York City that allows illegal migrants to bypass in-person check-ins, are a direct challenge to the incoming administration’s promised crackdown on illegal immigration.
The new ICE Portal app, which will be introduced in New York City in December, allows migrants to report their status remotely, bypassing the traditional in-person appointments with ICE officers. This app, however, has already faced significant technical issues during testing, making it unreliable at best. Worse yet, the app fails to provide critical information such as past arrests or outstanding warrants, meaning it could allow potentially dangerous individuals to slip through the cracks, evading law enforcement attention.
🚨 How is this as a parting gift from the Biden administration?

In addition to this dangerous loophole, the Biden administration is also pushing policies that make it easier for migrants to challenge their electronic monitoring status. Under the new rules, migrants wearing ankle bracelets or other monitoring devices will have the ability to contest their monitoring and, in some cases, have the devices removed. This creates a massive gap in the system, making it even harder for ICE to track individuals who are supposed to be under surveillance while awaiting their immigration hearings.
These last-minute policy changes are not only reckless but also politically motivated. By loosening these regulations, the Biden administration is effectively trying to tie the hands of the incoming Trump administration, which has made enforcing immigration laws and securing the U.S. border a top priority. The changes will only make it more difficult for the incoming administration to manage the growing number of illegal migrants entering the country and to enforce the law in a way that prioritizes American citizens’ safety and security.

The move to bypass ICE check-ins and weaken monitoring measures is an affront to the American people, who have voted overwhelmingly for stronger immigration controls. These policies are a direct attack on the integrity of the immigration system and put citizens across the U.S. at greater risk. As the Biden administration seeks to make these changes in its final days, it is clear that these actions are designed to create as many roadblocks as possible for the incoming government.
The consequences of these policy shifts will be felt long after the Biden administration leaves office. Migrants who are allowed to bypass vital check-ins and remove tracking devices could easily disappear, further straining law enforcement resources and endangering public safety. These last-minute changes are a dangerous attempt to thwart the incoming administration and undermine the rule of law.
