It’s not “for the sake of a wink and a nod” or “dogwhistling.” The ACLU is actively campaigning against the way the US Government and ICE in particular treats immigrants and people around the borders.

Have a look at the ACLU website... their position is quite clear.

The case they mention was about tracking someone who re-entered illegally. How else are they to get people to comply? Send them a nice note to comply?

Many people who are left to on their on recognizance never show up to their court dates.

Certainly not by means of unconstitutional mass surveillance.

Many implies a majority. In fact, far from it. ICE and CBP already have tools to deal with people they deem a flight risk including but not limited to ankle monitors, etc.
