Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced Monday that it is shifting its resources to deal with the influx of “fake families†arriving on the U.S-Mexico border.
“Fake families are being formed to cross our border and avoid detention. ICE [Homeland Security Investigations] is working with [Customs and Border Protection] to stop individuals, networks and organizations facilitating child smuggling and document fraud to illegally enter the U.S.,†ICE tweeted on Monday.
The agency stated that it is moving experts to the border to investigate child smuggling, and it will be using science data to “dismantle†the child trafficking rings employed by human smugglers working in Central American and Mexico. The announcement came on the same day as a media appearance by the agency’s acting director.
