#ICE needs to get its act together as migrants freeze waiting for help — do something, Joe!

“ICE needs to get its act together as migrants freeze waiting for help — do something, Joe!”

First, Team Biden opened the border to waves of illegal migrants. Then it failed to support the many communities overwhelmed by influxes of people with few resources who can’t legally work here. Now, Biden’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is failing to process those who are seeking official “asylum applicant” status so they can legally work.

The Post and others have documented how hundreds of migrants, including small children, camp out overnight in bitter cold temperatures hoping to meet with ICE workers the next day.  

The conditions are inhumane — a mother was seen breastfeeding her baby in near-freezing temps — and people risk hypothermia as they wait in line over 10 hours (sometimes 25!).

More outrageous: Folks with meetings set via the ICE Appointment Scheduler still get turned away without being seen. After hours-long waits outside 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan, they learn that applicants are seen on a “first come, first served basis,” regardless.

“After 500 people, they are finished,” a security guard told The Post. ICE officials haven’t formally confirmed the 500-a-day limit, but something like that fits what’s happening.

For starters, ICE execs in the city should do some outreach to the 30,000 or so migrants here, and figure out a way to avoid the long overnight lines. Maybe hold lotteries for real appointments at the dozens of shelters the city’s set up for at least two-thirds of the migrants already here?

(The crisis has already cost city taxpayers more than $600 million; the feds still haven’t responded to Mayor Eric Adams’ request for $1 billion in emergency aid.)

Second: The lame-duck Congress still has to approve spending bills to keep the government open past next month. Democrats have nixed GOP amendments to enlarge the Border Patrol; how about a few extra million to hire some more ICE clerks to process these people?

It’s bad enough that President Joe Biden has effectively opened the border. The least he can do is humanely address the consequences of the million-plus migrants his team has waved in.
