Fox News
A House Judiciary subcommittee will hear from a witness who will warn that the U.S. is now a middleman of a massive operation of child smuggling at the southern border.
According to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics, the number of UACs who came to the border shot up from 33,239 in FY2020 to over 146,000 in FY 2021 and 152,000 in FY 2022. So far in FY 2023 there have been over 70,000 encounters of unaccompanied children. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
When child migrants are encountered at the border, they are transferred into the custody of Health and Human Services (HHS) and then united with a sponsor -- typically a parent or family member already in the U.S. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
