Original Note:
Undocumented migrants, particularly those seeking asylum, are given cell phones as part of an Alternative To Detention (ATD) program once released from custody. It started in the Trump administration. The phones cannot be used for any purpose other than a tracking app. https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/05/us/border-migrants-cell-phones-cec/index.html
