The Biden administration is quietly implementing new immigration policies ahead of the incoming Trump administration, including the introduction of an ICE Portal app that allows migrants to remotely check in from anywhere in the country instead of appearing in person at Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices. The app, which is set to launch nationwide in early December, enables migrants to bypass in-person check-ins and contest wearing an ankle monitor. Critics express concern that the app does not check for past arrests or outstanding warrants, potentially hindering federal tracking of illegal immigrants. New York City is a key area for these changes, which come just 60 days before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
