Evidence

A man released from Delaney Hall said ICE detained him during a routine check-in, and the article says arrests at such check-ins are becoming an increasing practice.

Recent reporting shows ICE is still detaining people at in-person check-ins, so the promised move to virtual-only check-ins has not been fully realized.

The report says 84% of people in ICE’s ATD program were required only to check in virtually through the SmartLINK app, while others still used monitors or in-person reporting.

ICE already uses virtual check-ins for many monitored immigrants, but not all, which points to partial implementation rather than full delivery.

Assessments

partial later_term

The promise was not fully delivered. Evidence shows ICE has expanded virtual check-ins for many immigrants, with one report stating most people in the ATD program used virtual SmartLINK reporting, but in-person ICE check-ins still continue and can still lead to detention. That means the policy outcome exists only in part, not as a general replacement of required in-person check-ins. In the federal office context, there is also no evidence here that Rep. Grace Meng herself secured or completed a universal change requiring virtual check-ins, so this does not qualify as full delivery.
