U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents helped confirm a migrant "child recycling" case in the El Paso Sector. They discovered child had been "recycled" in at least two prior instances, officials stated.
ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents teamed up with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations (OFO) officers and Border Patrol agents under a new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program targeting migrant "child recycling" and fraudulent familial claims made by Central American migrants. Border Patrol agents and CBP OFO officers processing large Central American migrant groups identified a possible fraudulent family migrant claim, according to information obtained from CBP officials.
A CBP officer noticed several inconsistencies that led him to believe a child was not related to the alleged family member. Under continuing questioning from the OFO officer, Border Patrol agents, and the HSI agents, officials obtained enough evidence to determine the child had been "recycled" in at least two other occasions, officials stated.
"Child recycling" is a process where a migrant child who has made it into the U.S. is returned to Central America to be teamed up with a new "family member" for a return journey to the U.S.
"The U.S. Border Patrol has continuously warned about the existence of this type of illicit activity and exploitation of minors," CBP officials said in a written statement. "Transnational criminal organizations continue to profit from individuals utilizing loopholes in our immigration system to commit fraud. These groups have no concern for the welfare or safety of the children and family groups being smuggled to the Southwest Border."
