DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin criticized Democrats’ push for ICE tracking apps, suggesting such measures could encourage illegal immigrants to evade arrest and target law enforcement. During an appearance on ‘The Big Weekend Show,’ McLaughlin voiced her concerns about the potential consequences of the Democratic Party’s proposed initiative. She argued that the apps, designed to track individuals crossing the border illegally, might lead to increased evasion tactics by migrants and create a risk for law enforcement officers.
The discussion highlights the ongoing political debate over immigration policies and the role of technology in border security. McLaughlin’s comments come amid growing discussions about the effectiveness and ethical implications of using tracking technology for immigration enforcement. Critics argue that such measures may not address root causes of migration and could exacerbate tensions between communities and law enforcement.
