The Briefing:
- Approximately 183,000 people are currently tracked under ICE's electronic monitoring program — nearly three times the population held in physical detention
- GPS ankle monitors have tripled since the start of the current administration, reaching approximately 54,000 by August 2026, the highest count in the agency's recorded history
- San Francisco leads ATD enrollment with more than 20,000 monitored individuals, followed by Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago — each exceeding 18,000
- Legal advocates and court filings document cases where check-in data and device geolocation have been used to arrest people at their homes — not at a border crossing or during a public raid
