Homan proclaims the Trump admin. has rescued over 62,000 migrant children from sex trafficking and forced labor
Over 62,000 migrant children smuggled
into the United States without a parent under the Biden administration
have been rescued from sex trafficking and forced labor, according to
border czar Tom Homan.
In a Sunday “Fox & Friends” interview, Homan proclaimed that
“over half a million children were smuggled into this country under Joe
Biden.”
“They lost track of 300,000. President Trump committed on day one
that we will do everything we can to find every one of these children,”
he continued. “We know many of them are in sex trafficking. Many are in
forced labor. Many are being abused.
“I can’t discuss some of the mistreatment we found out about.
President Trump again proved why he’s the greatest president in my
lifetime. Over 62,000 children rescued,” Homan added.

Homan’s comments follow a nationwide initiative launched by the U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), which is aimed at
“protecting the 450,000 unaccompanied children (UAC) illegally smuggled
over the border and placed with unvetted sponsors under the Biden
administration,” according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
press release issued last month.
The initiative, known as the UAC Safety Verification Initiative,
partners federal immigration agents with local law enforcement to
conduct welfare checks on migrant children “to ensure that they are safe
and not being exploited.”
The release also detailed the criminal charges and convictions
against several unvetted alien sponsors, which included rape, enticement
of a child under 16 and possession of child sexual abuse material,
attempted aggravated homicide, and attempted murder, among others.
“[DHS] Secretary [Kristi] Noem is leading efforts to rescue and stop
the exploitation of the 450,000 unaccompanied children the Biden
administration lost or placed with unvetted sponsors. Many of the
children who came across the border unaccompanied were allowed to be
placed with sponsors who were smugglers and sex traffickers. The Trump
administration has located more than 24,400 of these children in-person,
in the United States, through visits and door knocks,” stated DHS
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
“We’ve jump-started our efforts to rescue children who were victims
of sex and labor trafficking by working with our state and local law
enforcement partners to locate these children. President Trump and
Secretary Noem are laser-focused on protecting children and will
continue to work with federal, state, and local law enforcement to
reunite children with their families,” she added.
The UAC Safety Verification Initiative started in Florida on November 10th and is now set to roll out across the country.
