The Homeland Security Chief Says, Without Evidence, Children Are Being “Recycled” At The Border
The Secretary of Homeland Security told members of Congress on Wednesday that her agency had uncovered"recycling rings" where children were used multiple times to help undocumented immigrants enter the United States by claiming to be part of a family.
Nielsen did not offer any evidence to back up her assertion and it was unclear how prevalent the so-called"recycling rings" are. DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokespersons did not provide any specific instances where such activity took place. ICE said court proceedings for the case McClafferty mentioned were still ongoing and referred questions to the US Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina which did not immediately return a request for comment.Scott Shuchart, a former senior DHS adviser, told BuzzFeed News ICE and CBP have been making the claim since at least 2016, but the South Carolina case is the only specific incident of this he's heard of.
Michelle Brane, director of migrant rights and justice at the Women's Refugee Commission, said if children are being repeatedly smuggled as part of fake families at the border it's very concerning. The 2008 law requires the US to transfer unaccompanied children from countries other than Mexico and Canada into the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services and receive a guaranteed immigration court hearing. The Trump administration has referred to the law as a loophole being exploited by Central American children and their families.
