Stricter ‘house arrest’ program for released migrants draws criticism By Sandra Sanchez
	Biden is just using ATD like crazy to keep detention numbers low, but it also means relying on some new types of possibly intensive monitoring technology that will likely draw some criticism,” TRAC researcher Austin Kocher told Border Report.   Transactional Research Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) of Syracuse University, which tracks immigration cases, reports on its website that as of Jan. 15, there were 164,391 migrants in ATD listed on the non-detained docket. This is an increase of about 15,000 migrants put in the program from mid-December to mid-January, according to TRAC. And it is nearly double the 87,000 migrants who were in the program when President Joe Biden took office. “Biden is just using ATD like crazy to keep detention numbers low, but it also means relying on some new types of possibly intensive monitoring technology that will likely draw some criticism,” TRAC researcher Austin Kocher told Border Report.
