ICE Has ‘No Records’ for Hundreds of Thousands of Illegal Immigrants

In a letter to Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said they have “no records” of as many as 377,980 illegal immigrants. The missing records are for those in the “Alternatives to Detention” (ATD) program, which uses an electronic monitor to track illegal immigrants.

From The Daily Caller:

“ICE’s response that they could no longer find records on immigrants in Alternatives to Detention (ATD) that they had previously released came as a shock, particularly after they informed us recently that they had been misleading the public for several months by releasing extremely inaccurate ATD data. The agency really needs to come clean. The American public deserves to have accurate data about the ATD program,” TRAC assistant Professor Austin Kocher told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
