Original Note:
Although some migrants get smartphones w/ a pre-loaded app to ensure compliance with release stipulations, the phones can only be used to access the app – they can't access the internet, load other apps or make calls.¹ This practice dates back to the Trump administration.² https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/04/27/fact-check-undocumented-migrants-can-get-smartphones-tracking/9539929002/ https://time.com/6167467/immigrant-tracking-ice-technology-data/
