When the identification number tattoo in the neck is too oldschool or something...

That means, we are one election cycle away from forced labour and another from gassing them.

There is unfortunately no further description of the electronic tags in the article. But there is another article on Washington Post from more than a year ago:

Britain will electronically tag some asylum seekers with GPS devices (Published June 18, 2022)

Under the monitoring trial, people fitted with the location-tracking device will be required to report regularly and in person to immigration centers or police stations.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/06/18/britain-electronic-tagging-migrants-asylum-seekers/

Back then it was a trial and now it seems to get a more widespread support. And it's not even for identification but a 24/7 GPS tracking device? Adding electronic tracking devices to migrants makes them join ranks with convicted criminals with corresponding court order.
