The Biden Department of Homeland Security will launch an ICE Portal app in December, allowing migrants to check in virtually rather than in person. The app has been criticized for glitches, lack of location tracking on Android devices, and failing to vet migrants for prior arrests or warrants. Over 3.2 million illegal migrants entered the U.S. in 2023, the highest number in history, with sanctuary cities like New York spending billions on migrant care.The app's launch coincides with an unprecedented surge in illegal immigration during Biden’s presidency. In 2023, 3.2 million migrants crossed the U.S. border illegally, surpassing the 2.7 million entries recorded in 2022. Cities like New York have borne the brunt of the crisis, with over 223,000 migrants arriving since early 2022. The city spent $3.7 billion on housing, food, and services for migrants in 2024, straining local resources. - https://mxmnews.com/article/88238efc-ada2-43aa-8aee-fc6b6be6024f?biden-harris-administration-loosens-immigration-restrictions-before-trump-takes-office
