Stricter Immigration Monitoring: Mandatory GPS Tracking and Curfew for Released Aliens.

This bill mandates continuous GPS monitoring and a nightly curfew (10 p.m. to 5 a.m.) for all non-detained aliens awaiting immigration proceedings. Crucially, failure to comply with any release condition will result in an automatic removal order (deportation) issued without the alien being present in court. The law prioritizes detention over release into supervision programs.
Key points
All released aliens awaiting immigration hearings must wear continuous GPS monitoring devices and adhere to a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew.
Release into supervision programs (ATD) is only permitted if all available immigration detention facilities are completely full.
Failure to comply with any release condition leads to immediate deportation ordered in absentia (without the alien present).
