Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche held a press conference earlier today to outline a series of arrests during ongoing investigations to find thousands of missing unaccompanied alien children. [DOJ Press Release Here]
So far DHS agencies have found approximately 150,000 missing children with around 300,000 still unaccounted for as search and investigative efforts continue. The statistics within the press conference are alarming. WATCH:
DOJ – Yesterday in Cleveland, Ohio, indictments were returned charging three illegal aliens from Guatemala for international smuggling of unaccompanied alien children (UAC) and defrauding the government, while another illegal alien was sentenced to prison for smuggling a UAC to the United States in 2023 and then fraudulently obtaining custody of the child who he then sexually abused.
The indictments charge Maritza Azucena Cahuec Coc, 38, and her brother Carlos Agustin Cahuec Coc, 33, both illegal aliens from Guatemala, for their roles in an international alien smuggling conspiracy, spanning from approximately December 2020 to October 2023, that included submitting multiple fraudulent sponsorship applications to the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to gain custody of UACs. Gladys Marina Caal Chen, 20, an illegal alien from Guatemala, who, herself, was fraudulently sponsored as a UAC, is charged with making false statements to the government in connection with a UAC sponsorship application.
Juan Tiul Xi, 27, from Guatemala, pleaded guilty for helping smuggle a child into the United States and submitting a fraudulent sponsorship application, falsely representing that he was the child’s brother. After gaining custody, Xi sexually abused the child. For that, he was convicted of sexual battery of a child in state court and sentenced to eight years in prison. Additionally, Xi was sentenced to 26 months in federal prison to be served consecutive to the eight year state prison sentence.
“For too many years, under the prior administration, unaccompanied children were smuggled to the United States and then taken in by a mismanaged government program guided by reckless policy direction,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Instead of protecting children, these defendants and others allegedly took advantage of the program and used it to entice the illegal smuggling of unaccompanied children to the United States and, as the sentence of Tiul Xi shows, leave them vulnerable to sexual assault, trafficking, and other exploitation.” (read more)
Yes but ICE is the gestapo and should be defunded and disolved…..according to our far left friends.
“far left” and “friends” is an oxymoron.
Those are the very same people that want to erase childhood to normalize the sexual abuse of children.
They have a very personal interest in it.
300,000 children.
Let that number sink in.
We cannot pray hard enough for these lost souls! 🙁
HOPEFULLY the KIDS Can BE Redeemed by Finding THEM and PUNISHING their Traffickers

instead of screaming “Epstein”
we should be screaming about “Biden” or better yet “obama” who was the actual one running things during Biden.
The two of them are far more evil than Epstein IMHO.
Let’s not forget the 50,000 Haitian children after the 2010 earthquake and the Clinton Foundation’s role. That was the first massive wave of undocumented children into our country in this century. 🙁
Hils likes that Adrenochrome.
Thank You! That can’t be pointed out enough. Hopefully some irrefutable evidence will be uncovered, but then what?
Does Obama know about this?
True Detective Season 1 has more than a ring of truth to it. Elites in government trafficking and abusing children.
This country can solve many problems by removing ALL of the upwards of 100.000.000 million illegal criminals and thieves and terrorists who have flooded this country.
Yes we can!
How about turning in contractors when they show up at job sites with their all foreign crews and open all weigh stations on interstates 24/7 which will save American lives and go after states issuing licenses to Habib who’s neighbor can go get a CDL with just his photo which can be done in Maine and permanently jail all who are involved in trafficking of humans
Many states have laws prohibiting screening applicants.
The 1986 Immigration Reform (amnesty) had a poison pill built into the employer sanctions provisions. Employers can be sued and prosecuted for employment discrimination at the same time they must screen for alienage and employment eligibility. Catch 22.
“For too many years, under the prior administration, unaccompanied children were smuggled to the United States and then taken in by a mismanaged government program guided by reckless policy direction,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
I like AG Blanche, but I detest the “pretending not to know” BS that most DC insiders so casually sling at us.
Hundreds of thousands of innocent children have been abducted and sold into sex slavery under multiple presidential administrations.
“Mismanagement” had nothing to do with it. This has been a highly organized, well funded human trafficking operation aided and abetted by the FBI and others within the UniParty Deep State.
It’s intentional.
When I think about how many babies have been slaughtered in the womb by evil abortionists, and the huge numbers of innocent children sold into sex trafficking, I wonder how long it will be before God unleashes the full measure of His righteous wrath.
This…THIS!!!…is for once, truly for the children.
It is a terrible exercise to consider what unspeakable things these innocents are going through.
Of all the administrations which have perpetrated unthinkable wickedness, it should be the Mayorkas/Obama/Biden administration for which the hottest place in hell is reserved.
Between abortion/killing at any time and the deliberate trafficking of children…those whom have seen God last…I hope their afterlife accommodation is waiting.
AMEN! 🙁
Im thinking pretty soon.
HEBREWS 10:31
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
I also wonder how long it will take to happen.
When it does these evil people will know what true terror is.
I don’t know which will be the trigger:
God will unleash his wrath when we elect another Dimm.
or
God will unleash his wrath by allowing another Dimm to be elected.
“the “pretending not to know” BS that most DC insiders so casually sling at us.”
“Hundreds of thousands of innocent children have been abducted and sold into sex slavery under multiple presidential administrations.”
How much of this activity was known at the presidential level?
“………..a highly organized, well funded human trafficking operation aided and abetted by the FBI and others within the UniParty Deep State.”
Yes. It’s intentional. You just can’t hate these mentally deranged, despicable, wretched vermin enough.
Don’t insult vermin!
Of course it’s intentional. The question is, who benefits? And where are the children? I’m afraid to know.
He’s the Attorney General of the United States. He can’t stand in front of the press and say “we know X” unless he has courtroom proof of X. His credibility is important to his success in Finding victims and bringing people to justice. He’s doing great. I extend him grace.

It makes you wonder WHY the parents of these children would allow their kids to be sent to a foreign land with STRANGERS! I have read stories in the past that sometimes the kids are sold, sometimes the parents are convinced that the child would have a better life…. but still! Would you let your child travel to a foreign country with a stranger?
“I have read stories in the past that sometimes the kids are sold, sometimes the parents are convinced that the child would have a better life…. but still!”
Does the child receive a “better life”, or do the parents simply place more value on money they received than they do their own child?
“………sometimes the kids are sold…….”
And let’s not forget, there’s multiple (guilty) parties involved here. There’s the seller. And then there’s the buyer.
Look at Karmelo and the GFM/GSG accounts?
There must be many levels of “facilitation” between Guatemala and Cleveland Ohio. Local LEOs on the route, coyotes, border patrols between countries, semi-truck drivers who transport, landlords who know something is amiss. And yes, federal and state employees who look the other way. It’s a very sad commentary on the state of humanity.
We did ministry in Baja Mexico for many years and it was not uncommon for a mother to “sell” her 13 year old daughter in marriage to an older man. Quite often, the women were farm workers (think strawberries and tomatoes) who had no education and who lived in the labor camps, which were awful. They generally had a baby every year or so (often raped by the owner of the ranch or the other “bosses”) and thus “selling” off the older ones was a way to be able to feed the younger ones!
In many cases, it had been done to them as well and they didn’t see anything wrong with the practice – it was just life as they knew it! I am absolutely NOT condoning it, and the organizations that we worked with were trying to change the culture, but I am simply explaining that it DOES happen, and probably far more often than many suburban middle class Americans realize!
Evil all around
Is there anything that can be done legally to hold the officials accountable who ran the “mismanaged government program guided by reckless policy direction“? Or were the words “mismanaged” and “reckless” used to give them an out? It should have been easily foreseeable that the outlined abuses were going to happen and yet apparently no one running that program did anything but just stand aside and allow all of it to go on.
Jesus, that is a staggering amount of little ones.
Word is Democrat leadership believe it to be a small price to pay for votes and taxpayer funding kickbacks.
“Trump” is dangerous to kids. Follows a traditional and easy identifiable pattern of projection from Dem talking heads.
Dem policy needs to get these little ones here so they can be further exploited with things like transgender surgery they are manipulated into for $$$ reasons. Dems want the little ones to know what a shame it would be if they thought for themselves, so they indoctrinate them through a corrosive public school system that tells them what to think rather than teaching them how to think.
A really absusive lot, especially to kids and the needy, the Dem policy is.
Why pay 20k for a bed for a homeless, when you can pay 50k and pocket the change… a few less beds,… but that was never the core issue anyone, just the tool to exploit taxpayer funding.
Gross.
PLEASE STOP USING THE LORD’S NAME IN VAIN!!!!
Thank you!

Blanche et al working against the depraved indifference of the previous admin. Nice to see. Also nice to see that Patel didn’t manage to helicopter in to grab a piece of the press announcement.
“…Patel didn’t manage to helicopter in…”
Can only admire the degree of quiet coordination that took to pull off….
Were they all registered Democrats or voted for Democrats? Asking for a friend!
When will Mayorkas face a firing squad?
Immediately after he names ALL of his co-conspirators, that they may join him as target practice for the firing squad.
Sick bastards. Hang em all
I retired from CBP after 35 years with them.
We had yearly refresher courses which reminded us to never ever under any circumstances were we to release unaccompanied minors to anybody that couldn’t prove guardianship.
Biden was installed. All those protocols went by the wayside.
Kids were then released en-masse to unvetted “guardians.”
Three decades of protocol evaporated.
I personally did not witness this myself as I was not then assigned to the Southern border, but I knew them that were.
I knew big strong men were temporarily detailed to watch over these little guys.
I was told that 100% of all the girls were molested in some way by their Mexican Cartel handlers during the process and many of the boys as well.
The men assigned to these details would return heartbroken.
This was no secret. The political party that pretends to care the most for children knew what was going on and they didn’t care.
If you haven’t seen it, check out the movie “Sound of Freedom”.
Excellent movie, thank God the producer kept fighting to get it out.
I believe it started under Obama. Using the Reno-Flores juvenile detention decision he moved responsibility for Unaccompanied children to DHS office of refugee resettlement. At the same time he had the NGO mob admitted into detention facilities to go fishing for civil rights violations involving juveniles (unsuccesfully). Additionally, he brought in NGO types to staff permanent positions inside DHS/CBP HQ.
Magically the UAC population exploded, and were transported by our government to foster facilities inside the US. Line agents and officers were pulled from regular assignments to travel with the children, effectively delivering them to their smugglers. Government transport became a component of the smuggling scheme, externalizing transport cost to the tax payer.
God bless those men. We expect that they are hardened but they go home to their family and it’s hard to imagine anyone who would want to hurt a child. It has to really bother them.😢
The CBP, and truthfully all LEOs, I mean
The left is so evil.
And P. Bondi was the Attorney General for how many months?
I get it. But we should remember that these investigations can be under way for many months. So some of this could be the outcome of investigations begun under Bondi.
Understood.
However, while P. Bondi announced investigations into migrant child trafficking [seemingly without bearing tangible fruit of significance] her office seemed quite silent on investigations specifically focused on missing migrant children although others in the Trump administration [DHS, ICE] were indeed actively pursuing this matter.
The point with Pam relates to productivity. She may well have had a lot of hooks in the water but she wasn’t landing much at all.
Thank You, Father God, for the release from slavery of Your Children. We pray for those still enslaved and missing – awaiting their liberation. We pray, also, for those who will never make it home who have gone on to an Eternity in Your Care. May their memories be Eternal and retaliation for the crimes against them swift – not only by the traffickers, but the consumers, the demons, the policy makers, and enablers. It is demonic these sacrifices, but not a sparrow falls from the sky without Your Divine Knowledge. Come, Lord Jesus, come!
How does one go about finding any of these kids?
What condition are they in?
So their parents realize what they have done ro their own children? And for what?
just check out your local homeless shelters – you’ll be startled.
For what? They are crime victims & as such they will be allowed to stay.
Then they can bring their parents in under chain migration.
Tying 2 things together. Why would kids be imported as playthings for the evil ones……..because too many US babies have been/are being aborted…….

I recall back in 2015 or so that the Obama administration started bringing in UACs into the US. In fact, it was you, Sundance, who wrote a piece about govt bids being put out for contract to transport 60k of them etc. etc. once they arrived here. The bids were put out in January and the UACs began arriving in June. Those govt. contracts no longer are available online but I’m sure you have it all archived Sundance.
Continuing from my previous comment. In retrospect, having seen the build up of supplies for the illegal immigrant invasion back in 2015 I don’t think the deep state imagined that Trump was going to win.
These supplies collected dust during Trump’s first term and became a joke to the employees. For those that know, the acronym for the program which provided all the supplies was acronymed “TEDS.”
After Biden was installed it made sense to me as this was the plan all along, getting ready for the influx.
Criminal.
I like AG Blanch.
I am so pleased that finally a briefing to report on work so far and status of the children. We need more briefings about this.
Also, discussions here on CTH is very informative too. Issue needs lots more visibility.
Now these three or four should be offered deals:
Who above you in State or Federal Government cooperated in the smuggling of these children?
Then take those at that level and aske the same question.
You know there are both Dimms and Rinos in AZ and NM that are involved in this.
There’s a special place in Hell for those who harm children.
These are little fish.
Trump nominates Clayton to head DNI
Adding children and some caretakers would be good cover for groups of military aged men being transported throughout out country.
The people in government and NGOs that aided and abetted child trafficking should be arrested. Or is this part of the Biden/Obama Administration that turned over the control of the border to the Drug Cartels. Get the Democrats involved with this horror and put THEM in jail.
Thanks Joe. Scumbag.
The lightbringerer industrialized this process.
MayPorkAss took it to a whole new level under Xiden.
Hmm. Defendants Chen and Xi have Chinese surnames. That’s odd.
Mind boggling, the numbers
If roughly 500 000 children were trafficked into the US why are there not prosecutions of tens of thousands not just 4 people? The US must send the illegal child rapists home in body bags.
The Trump Administration should have the right to an emergency broadcast of this to all major stations in the US. Americans need to be informed of this evil criminality that was allowed by Biden and Mayorkas and pretty much the whole Democrat Party. The anti-American Marxists that own the Media and their minions will never present the truth of what hey did. This is not who we are as Americans.
It is hard to believe they allowed this to happen. Who the hell are these people that encouraged this and looked the other way.
These are our real enemies, not the Russians.
This one act of attracting 450,000 children without parents into the USA, then intentionally disregarding the laws and losing track of them, I consider to be a Biblical level of evil and Crime Against Humanity! Every body knows there are few good endings to this travesty, but so far, no accusations or charges have been made against the Big-Shots of the Democrat Party and the creator of Open Borders, George Soros! Not a peep! Crickets! Is this who we really are after 250 years of preaching to the World how Good we are and how we PROTECT the children? Until this is rectified in full, I will consider all of politics as an evil subset of humanity.
