‘We’re Going to Find You’: DOJ Takes Decisive Action Against Criminals Who Smuggled Illegal Alien Children

Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced on Thursday that the Department of Justice has indicted three illegal aliens for allegedly smuggling more than a dozen unaccompanied alien children into the United States. 

The aliens from Guatemala “allegedly took part in a wide-ranging conspiracy to smuggle more than a dozen children into the United States by scamming the system and exploiting the loopholes created by the last administration,” Blanche said.

Blanche said the criminals would call themselves sponsors and traffic the children to the U.S.-Mexico border. They would often abuse, assault, and exploit the children once they arrived.

Blanche and other administration officials addressed a press conference Thursday on whole-of-government efforts to locate and safeguard unaccompanied alien children

The indictments of the three Guatemalans point to a much larger problem, Blanche said. Many individuals sponsor multiple children to enter the U.S., requiring them to lie to the government by falsely claiming they are related to the child. Perpetrators often use fake or stolen identities and make false claims during the application process to obtain custody of the children.
