Original Note:
Illegal immigrants do not receive $5000 gift cards. While some Transportation is provided by NPO's (with federal reimbursement), most migrants must pay for their own transportation. Cell phones are provided in ICE's ATD program, but with extremely limited features. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-government-cell-phone-plane-gift-card-migrant-888004665809 https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/dec/19/mark-lamb/no-the-us-government-is-not-giving-people-who-cros/ https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/05/us/politics/border-deal-immigration.html https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2023/12/27/no-the-u-s-is-not-giving-undocumented-immigrants-5000-gift-cards/72015806007/
