Contents Background. -- ATD enrollment generally increased and most participants were from Central America. -- ICE developed ATD policies, but does not monitor implementation of supervision policy. -- ICE does not fully assess ATD performance or report program data completely. -- ICE does not fully ensure the ATD contractor meets standards or addresses audit findings. -- Conclusions. -- Recommendations for executive action. -- Agency comments. -- Appendices.
Summary ICE has wide discretion to detain or release individuals of foreign nationality awaiting resolution of their immigration court proceedings, except for individuals subject to mandatory detention. The ATD program, which ICE administers through a $2.2 billion contract, uses electronic monitoring and case management to help ensure that individuals enrolled comply with release conditions, such as appearing at immigration court hearings. This report examines, among other objectives, (1) what data show about participation in the ATD program, (2) the extent to which ICE has assessed ATD performance, and (3) how ICE manages and oversees the ATD contractor. GAO is making 10 recommendations, including that ICE establish performance goals that cover core program activities, improve external reporting of absconsion information, collect information needed to assess the contractor's performance against standards, and ensure the contractor addresses all audit findings.
