The Trump administration has made a bold move to tackle the serious issue of child trafficking across the United States, with a particular focus on the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border. This border area has seen criminal networks taking advantage of lenient immigration policies in recent years.
Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller emphasized the administration’s commitment to bringing those responsible to justice, calling the situation an “endemic” issue that demands immediate action. Miller expressed the administration’s determination to investigate all forms of trafficking, including child trafficking, labor trafficking, and sex trafficking.
He declared, “This administration is going to investigate every instance of child trafficking, labor trafficking, sex trafficking, child smuggling, and all the attendant crimes involved in that.” His statement underscores the administration’s resolve to put an end to these heinous crimes.
In his call to action, Miller urged everyone to cooperate fully with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the fight against trafficking. “Our message to everyone in the country is to cooperate fully with Immigration and Customs Enforcement so that we can end the scourge of child trafficking and child abuse that has been endemic these last four years,” he asserted. This cooperation is seen as vital in exposing the trafficking activities at the border and holding those involved accountable.
The announcement arrives amidst growing concerns over the rise in child trafficking incidents at the southern border since President Joe Biden assumed office in 2021. Criminal organizations have reportedly exploited relaxed immigration policies to engage in trafficking, often forcing children into labor or sexual exploitation.
In response, the Trump administration has pledged to implement stricter enforcement measures and harsher penalties for traffickers, including mandatory minimum sentences and, in some cases, capital punishment.
During Trump’s previous term, ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) collaborated to close legal loopholes that allowed traffickers to exploit the system. These efforts are set to resume, reinforcing the administration’s focus on border security and combating trafficking.
Reports from Fox News suggest that the administration has already located between 75,000 and 80,000 of the over 300,000 missing migrant children, though official confirmation is pending.
In 2022, Stephen Miller accused Vice President Kamala Harris of being complicit in trafficking crimes. Speaking on MSNBC, Miller claimed, “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the number one traffickers of children, girls, into sex slavery on planet Earth.” He further warned that government inaction could have dire consequences for American democracy.
Republican Senator Josh Hawley has also voiced strong criticism of the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of unaccompanied minors at the border. During a hearing, Hawley described the situation as “the largest child trafficking ring in American history.”
He questioned how many of the 430,000 unaccompanied children who have crossed the border are in regular contact with authorities, urging the administration to stop facilitating trafficking.
The Trump administration’s investigation into trafficking will target criminal networks, enforce stricter immigration policies, and close legal loopholes that enable traffickers. Federal agencies, including ICE and CBP, are being called to increase efforts against trafficking in collaboration with state and local authorities. The administration is also advocating for tougher penalties for those found guilty of trafficking crimes.
President Trump himself has taken a strong stance on the issue, stating, “Anyone caught trafficking minors will get the death penalty immediately.” This uncompromising approach is aimed at protecting the most vulnerable members of society and ensuring the safety of children and communities.
The administration’s efforts to prioritize the investigation of child trafficking reflect a commitment to addressing one of the nation’s most urgent humanitarian and security challenges. By holding traffickers and complicit officials accountable, the Trump administration seeks to create a safer environment for children across the country.
In summary, the Trump administration’s initiative marks a significant step towards combating child trafficking and reinforcing border security. With a focus on accountability and collaboration with federal and local agencies, the administration aims to dismantle criminal networks and protect the nation’s children from exploitation.
Why didn’t Joe and his loser administration do this?
I am surprised you asked the question!
What rock do you live under that has internet access?
Use the FBI and IRS pukes that will be fired.

OUR LAST HOPE, A TRUE BATTLE CAPTAIN!
America, we are once again on the path to make America great again. Why? Because over 75 million of us have re-elected the very first true ‘Battle Captain’ to ever serve as our President and Commander-in-Chief. Why do I say Donald Trump is our first true Battle Captain? Because, Donald Trump is the first president to regularly demonstrate that the ‘Seven C’s of Leadership’ are a part of his character. The ‘Seven C’s of Leadership’ listed in the order of their importance as determined in a 1980 survey of 1645 ground combat veterans are: CANDOR, COMPETENCE, COMMITMENT, CONSISTENCY, COURAGE, COMPASSION, and COURTESY.
As one of the army officers charged with finding a true Battle Captain among all those army officers serving this nation from the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam Conflict, I can testify that we only found one officer who made the grade of ‘Battle Captain’. And, he like Donald Trump was not a professional soldier. A year before the Battle of Gettysburg he was a college professor, yet most historians credit him for saving the Union Forces left flank and forcing General Lee to commit his forces to a frontal attack which failed. The Battle of Gettysburg is generally credited as the turning point of the Civil War and lead to the surrender of the Confederate Forces two years later.
Donald Trump has proven that he is indeed a Battle Captain. He has turned the attacks on our flanks and now I am confident he will succeed in an overwhelming envelopment of all the forces trying to destroy America. God bless and protect Donald Trump, and God Bless and protect America as we help Donald Trump make America great again. I leave you with one question. Are you willing to fight for America, your family, and/or yourself?

I would like to know as others would like to know just where those immigrant children were found and who was in control of harboring these innocents.
C.W. LAUDERDALE; thank you for this timely and historical perspective, and as my father always told me as I learned over time how right he was, “to always put things into their proper perspective;” that speaking of which you have surely done here!
America is at war once again internally, and I have felt for a little while now, that it was becoming “do or die time for our Constitutional Republic” which has been fighting on “multiple battle fronts simultaneously” for quite a while now!
And how President Trump could possibly be the last President of these “United States of America” or by the grace of God Almighty, perhaps he is that “True Battle Captain” you speak of that will usher in a “Great New Beginning” for this formerly “One Nation under God!” For this I pray!
Amen.
I do the same brother.
God bless you and yours Brother Michael!
Yes we pray and I’ll pray more too!
China with Russia joined forces and with other Commie nations have pulled out all the stops because China is without a doubt looking to monopolize and control the planet! And if they do it would never be anything like when America was the Global Leader! Quite the opposite with evil ruling throughout! Nearing End Time I figure!
Note: Politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and most media folks, suggest most of you best do your research and educate yourselves on the details of envelopment operations for that is what Donald is bringing to American government at every level (see message below). At least dig your foxholes deeper and add overhead cover. Also, those of you who support all the unchecked opposition to Donald Trump and/or his programs, and all you Rinos who ride on his coattails yet refuse to stand beside him better thank the Lord that Donald has refused (so far) to accept the “clean the swamp” plan submitted to him by a group of retired military officers. Have a nice day.

One way or another we should know by now that one way or another that the Globalist Cabal in charge want multitudes of us wiped off the face of the earth, to make more of it their world, ya know the king of the mountain thing or bully! And who might those nefarious ones be serving I ask you?
Get to your Bibles people and do it now, you do know that our real lives aren’t here in this screwed world, but are in eternity and it’s time to choose which side you want more than anything; being on His left or on His right!
Matthew 25:46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
