Trump Administration Identifies 'Super-Sponsors' of Migrant Children in a Possible Prosecution Tack

Officials said they have identified more than 15,500 adults who gained custody of multiple unrelated migrant children as part of a broader trafficking probe.

  • On Thursday, the Department of Justice announced three people in Ohio were charged with conspiring to smuggle unaccompanied minors across the border.
  • Maritza Azucena Cahuec Coc, her brother Carlos Agustin Cahuec Coc , and Gladys Marina Caal Chen allegedly submitted fraudulent sponsorship applications to the Office of Refugee Resettlement between December 2020 and October 2023.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin reported 146,000 missing migrant children have been located since President Donald Trump took office, though 'nearly 300,000' remain missing from the previous administration.
  • Amid calls from Democrats to 'Abolish ICE,' critics argue the agency remains vital for locating trafficked children, with at least 150,000 still missing and vulnerable to exploitation.
  • Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated, 'We will not accept half measures when it comes to securing the border and saving children,' signaling the administration's enforcement priorities.
