'Our highly-skilled teams are working to stop individuals, networks and organizations facilitating child smuggling and document fraud,” ICE Acting Director Matthew Albence said.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency revealed on Monday that it is reallocating resources to the Southwest border in a bid to crack down on"fake families seeking to exploit U.S. immigration laws."
"Our highly-skilled teams are working to stop individuals, networks and organizations facilitating child smuggling and document fraud,” Albence said. “ICE along with our partners at CBP, remain committed to protecting children by ensuring they are not used as pawns by individuals attempting to gain entry to the U.S. through fraud.”
"The teams were chosen for their human smuggling and trafficking expertise and include criminal analysts, interpreters, document analysts, forensic interview specialists and victim assistance specialists," the agency said. In another case, ICE said an adult Honduran man had presented a false birth certificate for a 7-year-old child that was traveling with him. During an interview, the man admitted that he had no relation to the child, the agency said. As a result, the man was prosecuted for illegal entry and the child was turned over to the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement as an unaccompanied minor in accordance with procedures outlined in the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act .
