While ICE officials are still finalizing \u200ddetails, the plan\u200c aims to\u200b issue cards to about 10,000 individuals. These ICE\u2062 Secure\u200d Docket Cards are not considered official federal IDs but\u200d will streamline access to\u200c essential \u200dinformation. The article highlights the impending launch of taxpayer-funded\u200d ID\u2063 cards for \u200bundocumented immigrants in specific U.S.\u2063 cities\u200d this summer. Despite ongoing details refinement by ICE officials, \u200cthe initiative\u2062 targets issuing cards\u2062 to around 10,000 individuals. Although not recognized as official federal IDs, the ICE Secure \u2064Docket Cards will facilitate access to\u200d crucial information.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/georgeupper\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/georgeupper\/%20\"><span>George C.

Only a professional bureaucrat would use a term like \u201cpre-decisonal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox said that ICE was able to confirm that the program was headed for a limited roll-out in \u201cthree or four locations in the U.S.\u201d that would issue cards to about 10,000 illegals.<\/p>\n<p>People have been talking about the \u201cICE Secure Docket Card\u201d for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-admin-looking-give-illegal-immigrants-federal-access-government-benefits-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">couple of years<\/a>, and now the talk is slated to become reality, but\u00a0ICE says the card will not be an official form of federal ID, according to Fox, and that it will \u201cindicate it is for use by DHS agencies\u201d on the card itself.<\/p>\n<p>Again, only a government bureaucrat could claim \u2014 presumably with a straight face \u2014 that a card issued to someone by an agency of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-admin-officials-reportedly-odds-one-another-immigration-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal government<\/a> <em>on the basis of who the individual is<\/em> should not be considered \u201can official form of federal identification.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To quote the philosopher Douglas Powers (more commonly known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=37OWL7AzvHo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Evil<\/a>): Riiiiiiight.<\/p>\n<p>That is, however, what the agency claimed, at least according to Fox.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the specifics of the card and pilot are under development, it is important to note the secure card will not be an official form of federal identification,\u201d Fox quoted the agency as saying.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Will this program help the border crisis at all?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe secure card will indicate it is for use by DHS agencies and would be provided only after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cruz-biden-immigration-agenda-most-radical-ever-not-willing-to-enforce-law-against-criminals\/\" title=\"Cruz: Biden Immigration Agenda \u2018Most Radical\u2019 Ever, Not Willing To Enforce Law Against Criminals\">national security background checks<\/a> have been performed,\u201d the ICE statement added.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the part that makes sense: Illegal aliens are often given documents when they\u2019re released from custody, such as information about when to appear in court for a hearing about their immigration status. Those documents are on paper, and therefore can get damaged or lost.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bidens-dhs-set-give-illegal-aliens-photo-cards-access-commonly-used-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ICE Secure Docket Cards<\/a> can presumably get lost as well \u2014 at least, I haven\u2019t seen anyone proposing that they be glued to the recipients\u2019 forearms or anything \u2014 but at least they\u2019re less likely to be damaged.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of having to secure and protect their personal paperwork, cardholders will be able to use the card to access information specific to them \u2014 specific, that is, to their <em>identity<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoving to a secure card will save the agency millions, free up resources and ensure information is quickly accessible to DHS officials while reducing the agency\u2019s FOIA backlog,\u201d the ICE spokesperson told Fox. \u201cFor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-moves-to-give-illegal-aliens-government-benefits\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Moves to Give Illegal Aliens Government Benefits\">provisionally released noncitizens<\/a>, the digital modernization will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-administration-confirms-plan-to-give-ids-to-illegal-immigrants\/\" title=\"Biden Administration Confirms Plan to Give IDs to Illegal Immigrants\">provide ongoing access<\/a> to important immigration documents through the secure card and connected portal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProvisionally released noncitizens,\u201d of course, means illegals. Just in case you\u2019re not fluent in bureaucrat.<\/p>\n<p>Guess what else the \u201cnot an official form of federal identification\u201d cards will be used for, though, according to Fox?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would also allow for an easier verification of identity through DHS systems via officials,\u201d Fox reported. But it\u2019s not an official federal ID, oh, no.
