The Biden government aimed to deal with a border crisis in the latest move that previously overwhelmed authorities. So, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is looking to raise the number of immigrants allowed to release in the United States through an alternative to the detention program.

According to the website of Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Alternatives to Detention program may include approaches from check-ins at local centers of ICE to GPS home visits and monitoring, depending on the criminal history, migrant & their background, and other aspects.
A spokesman of DHS told Fox News that the Biden government made it obvious that the border is not open at the moment. Moreover, the policy of the administration is to expel adult people and families. Whereas in those situations where the administration can’t deport people, they then placed into removal proceedings. Afterward, their custody determination found and could result in an ATD program.
