DHS Locates Nearly 130,000 Missing Unaccompanied Children, Says Noem
December 24 | Posted by mrossol | American Thought, Biden, Democrat PartyMy gut says that ‘never-Trumpers’ and those who voted for the Democrat Party are partly responsible for what happened to these children. It was KNOWN that this was happening, but the Biden administration kept the gig going. The election of Donald Trump has saved some of these children from their misery and hopefully many more will be found and saved. Yes, I voted for this. mrossol

“Too many of these children were exploited, trafficked, and abused,” Noem wrote. “We will continue to ramp up efforts and will not stop until every last child is found.”
As of May 2024, more than 32,000 of these children had been served notices to appear in court but failed to do so. In addition, the safety of 291,000 children could not be verified.
The main aim of the initiative is to ensure that they are not being exploited, DHS said.
“Many of the children who came across the border unaccompanied were allowed to be placed with sponsors who were smugglers and sex traffickers,” said Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary for public affairs.
“We’ve jump-started our efforts to rescue children who were victims of sex and labor trafficking.
Crackdown on Child Predators
The Trump administration recently launched Operation Relentless Justice to identify, track, and arrest child sex predators, according to a Dec. 19 statement from the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The two-week enforcement operation led to a nationwide crackdown that resulted in the arrests of more than 293 child sexual abuse offenders, with more than 205 child victims located.
“Operation Relentless Justice shows no child will be forgotten and that all predators targeting the most vulnerable amongst us will be held accountable,” FBI Director Kash Patel said.
“This year, the FBI has led multiple nationwide surges across the U.S. to find and arrest hundreds of child predators.
“We will not stop until every child can live a life free of exploitation. We will utilize the strength of all our field offices and our federal, state, and local partners to protect communities across the nation from such horrific crimes.”
Prior to Operation Relentless Justice, the Trump administration had implemented Operation Restore Justice in May, which led to 205 child sex abuse offenders being arrested and 115 children being rescued.
Later in August, Operation Enduring Justice resulted in the arrests of 234 offenders and the rescues of 133 children.
“The Director and I have prioritized their life-saving work from the moment we swore in. And we assured them an agency-wide effort to punish the demons who violate the sacred trust of children,” Bongino wrote.
The perpetrator “led a group of online predators whose ultimate purpose is to destroy our society,” said Sue J. Bai, principal deputy assistant attorney general for National Security.
“They tried to achieve that heinous goal by desensitizing innocent children to violence—coercing them to perform gruesome and harmful acts against themselves and animals—with the hope of encouraging further violence and spreading chaos.”
