Trump administration locates migrant children in the midst of traffic problems

The Ministry of Internal Security is praising an effort to save children who can be confronted with the exploitation due to an united “sponsor” when they entered the country illegally.

Last week, the Trump administration noted that there were 300,000 children “lost or placed with unsuitable sponsors” during the Biden administration which are not accompanied, which raises the concern that they were placed with traffickers, and they say that 13,000 have already been found.

“This shows how unacceptable the previous administration was on the issue of immigration“” The former acting director of ice, Jonathan Fahey, told Fox News Digital in an interview.

In addition, DHS said in a recent press release that more than 59,000 of the 65,000 “background reports” had been worked, including thousands of “tracks” concerning criminal issues. Fahey, who briefly directed the agency at the end, but was also deputy deputy secretary of the DHS, said there was generally a process to ensure that migrant children go to the right person.

“”To what it might look like and normally is that if someone is an unaccompanied minor and they are sent, there is someone who is a sponsor for them, they should check the sponsor, make sure that the sponsor is what they say, and also a kind of follow -up to make sure they are where they say and things like that, “says Fahey.

He also noted how the recent government bill supported by Trump, which includes funding for more authorities and immigration tools, could be useful for breaking a more exploiting activity.

“”I think there will be many (busts), mainly because now that with this bill that has been adopted, there will be more resources to be able to investigate various types of crimes, “he said.

The bill includes funding for 10,000 additional glacial agents, and the administration launched an aggressive recruitment effort on Tuesday, praising signing bonuses of $ 50,000 and other advantages to bring people to join.

“Because for the moment, as you know, the ice, even if they work their butts and very motivated and focused on the mission and everything else, they still need more resources to really find things and find victims and find bad actors and things like that. So I think (the location of children) will increase a lot.”

“The other part that will help you is because the border now, I don’t want to say completely closed, but almost closed. There are relatively few new people who pass, you know. And whoever gets caught is not released,” he added.

“”You limit the new one, so you can face the interior, I think, much more effectively, “he added.

Many busts, which often come from the previous information received and even criminal search mandates, were noted by the DHS, including during the application and social protection checks of inner security in the houses.
