Thanks for this, Austin! It definitely clarifies what I had hoped, as an eternal optimist, would be humane progress in our monstrous immigration system...

I'll be following this series. Edith is on the SMARTlink app. I'm curious if there is any info about whether this app has permissions to track folks when they're not officially checking in and whether one has the ability to select in person check ins rather than having the app. They definitely don't tell you about the option or the tracking to enable an informed decision.

Pseudo-progressive Immigration Policy under Biden-Harris represents a foucauldian nightmare where violent incarceration is replaced by an expansion of ICE’s panoptic gaze. A safer and more humane response, but one which flexes ICE’s ability to invade privacy. A future none of us are surprised to see.
