They straight up give them cell phones when they release them into the interior[0]. None of that is required. This is to catch mules bringing over drugs and sex traffickers most likely. Once they get to the other side, need to call for a pick up.

I read that entire article and nowhere does it say they give them phones. The entire article is about installing an app on their personal phones.

  Tried to find a neutral article. All of the rest of them highlight how ineffective this move by the Biden administration has been. https://abcnews4.com/news/nation-world/costly-failure-biden-admin-gave-300k-smartphones-to-migrants-costs-over-360k-a-day-cell-phone-alternatives-detention-program-ice-customs-immigration-illegal-president-white-house-joe-mexico-border https://abcnews4.com/news/nation-world/costly-failure-biden-...

  Why does it need to say in the article when it's plainly known?

    It's not plainly known and no sources claim this.

      It's been a political talking point for years... https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/06/05/us/border-migrants-cell-phones-cec/index.html https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/06/05/us/border-migrants-cell-p...

    Because he stated it and used a citation to support it. I’m entirely agnostic to what the claim is, what ideology it supports, or even whether or not it’s true. You use a citation to increase the credibility of you claim or argument. If the citation doesn’t actually say what you said that is a problem. If I said aliens are real here is proof and cite a lasagna recipe that’s a problem
