U.S. to Arrest Parents, Sponsors Who Hire Smugglers to Bring Children Across Border

Basically, Obama effectively turned ICE into a travel agency for unaccompanied minors. That's why we had such a surge. It is hard to imagine a policy crazier than to Entice unaccompanied minors to enter the US illegally and place them with people already illegally present in the country. The only thing crazier and I think He Did, would have been to take out TV and newspaper ads on both sides of the border announcing a massive illegal "immigrant" family reunification act.

SAN FRANCISCO—The Trump administration said Friday it will begin arresting parents and others who hire smugglers to bring children into the U.S., in an effort to break up human-trafficking operations.


The new “surge initiative” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement marks the latest get-tough approach to immigration by the federal government since President Donald Trump took office.

It is also a sharp departure from policies in place under President Barack Obama, during which tens of thousands of young people crossed the border illegally.
The children were then placed with sponsors—typically parents, close relatives or family friends—who cared for the minors while their cases moved through the immigration court system.

The government said it plans to arrest the sponsors.

“ICE aims to disrupt and dismantle end-to-end the illicit pathways used by transnational criminal organizations and human-smuggling facilitators,” agency spokeswoman Sarah Rodriguez said. “The sponsors who have placed children directly into harm’s way by entrusting them to violent criminal organizations will be held accountable.”

Immigrant advocacy groups said they were investigating a dozen arrests that may involve sponsors, including the arrest of an unaccompanied child’s brother in Texas, as well as other cases in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

“Arresting those who come forward to sponsor unaccompanied children during their immigration proceedings, often parents, is unimaginably cruel,” said Wendy Young, president of Kids in Need of Defense, a nonprofit that has matched thousands of unaccompanied minors with attorneys in the last eight years.
“Without caregivers to come forward, many of these children will languish in costly detention centers or be placed in foster care at great expense to states.”
