Biden administration giving cell phones to illegal immigrants
[FoxNews] The White House confirmed Wednesday that illegal immigrants are being provided with electronic devices, notably cell phones, in an effort for the Biden administration to "track" and "check in" with them as they await immigration court proceedings.

Asked by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy about the initiative, White House press secretary Jen Psaki the purpose was to monitor illegal immigrants.

"The Alternatives to Detention Program, which is what we utilize, has three unique forms of technology to monitor participants enrolled in the program," Psaki said. "Telephonic is one of them, which uses a participant's voice to create a biometric voiceprint during the enrollment process. And when the participant has a check-in call, their voice is compared to the voiceprint."

"Smartlink, which is another option, enables participant monitoring via smartphone or tablet using facial matching technology to establish identity," Psaki continued. She also noted the government's "Global Positioning System" which monitors the location and movement history of illegal immigrants awaiting trial through an ankle bracelet.

Psaki said the handing out of smartphones "is all part of our effort as individuals come into the United States and individuals who are entering who will proceed to immigration proceedings to monitor and track where they are."

She said the "vast, vast majority of people are appearing" on time as a result of the Biden administration's monitoring efforts.

Doocy asked Psaki whether there was concern by anyone in the administration that some migrants may decide to take the phones and "toss them."

"Do you have a record people throwing phones away," she responded.

"I'm just asking if that's a concern," Doocy said.

"Our concern is ensuring that individuals who irregularly migrate to the United States proceed through our process of, you know, of course, being monitored, but also participating in hearings to determine whether or not they will be able to stay," Psaki said.

#2  irregularly migrate? What the F does that mean?

Can I "irregularly obtain money from the bank". How about 'irregularity obtain a car', or 'irregularly help someone suicide'? (Like Hillary often does...)

Does Psaki 'irregularly make statements' (i.e. lie) all the time?
