Fox News: Biden administration loosens immigration restrictions ahead of second Trump term: ‘Last-ditch effort’
The Biden administration is easing immigration restrictions, allowing more illegal immigrants to enter the U.S. This includes the launch of an ICE Portal app for migrants to check in remotely, despite reported glitches and lack of thorough tracking.
In 2023, a record 3.2 million illegal migrants entered the country, with New York City heavily impacted. Critics argue these actions undermine the will of voters and raise safety concerns, especially following a recent murder trial linked to an undocumented immigrant.
