If you or a family member were fitted with an electronic ankle monitor at an appointment with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), you are not alone, and you are not without options. Electronic monitoring has expanded sharply over the past year and a half, and most people wearing a device do not know that a formal process exists to ask that it be removed or reduced<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Campos Law Firm, we closely monitor developments in U.S. immigration policy to protect our clients’ rights and future. Below, we explain what the data shows, what this program actually is, and what you can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 est\u00e1 pasando?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On August 27, 2026, Noticias Telemundo reported, based on ICE data, that about 54,000 people are currently wearing a GPS ankle monitor<\/strong>, up from just over 17,000 at the start of the current administration. In total, roughly 180,000 people<\/strong> are enrolled in some form of electronic supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Independent figures confirm the trajectory. Researcher Austin Kocher, working from ICE’s own data, documented about 24,600 ankle monitors in mid-2025 and more than 40,000 by January 2026<\/strong>, the highest number in the agency’s recorded history at that point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a specific instruction behind the increase. An internal ICE memorandum dated June 9, 2025<\/strong>, signed by acting assistant director Dawnisha M. Helland and obtained by The Washington Post<\/em>, directs officers that when a person is not arrested at a reporting appointment, they should “escalate their supervision level to GPS ankle monitors whenever possible and increase reporting requirements.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
