“To help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the Biden administration, Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants to Washington, D.C,” Abbott announced at a press conference Wednesday.
“We are sending them to the United States Capitol where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border,” he said.
The Texas Division of Emergency Management will be responsible for this operation, the governor confirmed.
During a press briefing Wednesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki acknowledged that the Biden administration has ordered border patrol to distribute smartphones and other technology to migrants as part of a tracking protocol. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy suggested this could further incentivize illegal immigration.
“Our team in Texas is saying that you guys are starting to give smartphones to border crossers hoping that they’ll use the phones to check in or to be tracked. Which part of that is supposed to deter people from crossing illegally into the States?” Doocy asked.
Psaki replied that the Biden administration is giving migrants this equipment to keep tabs on them while their cases are being processed and adjudicated.
“The alternatives to detention programs are three unique forms of technology to monitor participants enrolled in the program. Telephonic, which uses an individual’s voice to create a biometric voice print during the enrollment process. And when the participant has a check-in call their voice is compared to the voice print,” she said.
Psaki added that there’s also “Smart Link, [which] enables participant monitoring via smart phone or tablet using facial matching technology to establish identity. And Global Positioning System monitoring is of a participant’s location and movement history using satellite technology through an ankle bracelet.”
