The program aims to facilitate the movement of individuals identified as ‘inspected unauthorized aliens’ – those released into the U.S. without formal admission – across the country. It authorizes the division to contract for services and create rules to implement this transportation process, based on a legislative finding that the federal government has not adequately secured borders and allowed a surge of these individuals into the United States.
