Trump Administration Rescued Over 62,000 Migrant Children From Human Trafficking

December 10, 2025December 9, 2025carlocarrasco

Illegal immigration is not only problematic for American citizens, it also puts minors into dangerous situations. As America continues to actively solve the illegal immigration crisis, White House border czar confirmed that more than sixty-two thousand migrant children were rescued by the Trump administration from human trafficking, according to a news report by Newsmax.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of Newsmax. Some parts in boldface…

White House border czar Tom Homan said the Trump administration has rescued more than 62,000 migrant children from human trafficking.

“Over half a million children were smuggled into this country under Joe Biden. They lost track of 300,000,” Homan said Sunday on “Fox & Friends.”

Homan was referring to a Department of Homeland Security inspector general report that found nearly 291,000 unaccompanied minors had not yet been issued immigration court notices as of May 2024, and about 32,000 had missed hearings.

The watchdog report did not state that those children were definitively “missing,” but it warned that DHS lacked the tools to reliably track their whereabouts and respond to risks.

Homan described President Donald Trump’s second-term response as immediate and aggressive.

“President Trump committed on day one that we will do everything we can to find every one of these children,” Homan said.

Federal agencies launched joint operations to locate kids released to sponsors who never followed up, disappeared from contact, or were flagged for potential criminal exploitation.

DHS has also said it uncovered a backlog of tens of thousands of neglected child-safety leads and restarted investigations into suspect sponsors.

“We know many of them are in sex trafficking. Many are in forced labor. Many are being abused,” Homan added, saying investigators have found children working in dangerous jobs and being sold for sex.

He declined to share details about particular cases. “I can’t discuss some of the mistreatment we found out about.”

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think that more migrant children will be rescued from human trafficking as the Trump administration and its federal agents keep on solving the many problems related to illegal immigration? Do you think the administration of the failed US President Joe Biden neglected to anticipate the risks on migrant children as they allowed illegal immigration to worsen? Do you think the previous administration conspired with human traffickers and other organizations who added to the illegal immigration problem of the United States?

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the Daily Tribune. Some parts in boldface…

The local government of Muntinlupa City has launched a free birth registration program aimed at ensuring every child has a proper legal identity and full access to basic services.

The program offers free late registration of birth certificates for children enrolled in the Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) Program. Parents of ECED students are advised to coordinate with their children’s teachers for details and requirements.

The service is also available to indigent residents aged 0 to 17 who can coordinate directly with the Local Civil Registry Office at the South Park Center.

Muntinlupa City Mayor Ruffy Biazon said the initiative is designed to protect children’s rights by ensuring they are legally recognized by the government.

“If you don’t have a birth certificate, it is as if you don’t exist. That’s the proof that you are here in the world — that you are a Filipino,” Biazon said. “If a child does not have a birth certificate, his future will be put at risk. That’s why we launched this project, to give every child a secure future.”

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, are there lots of children in your local community who lack birth certificates?

Muntinlupa City Government approves foster care ordinance for children who were abused, neglected, surrendered or abandoned

May 1, 2025April 25, 2025carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, Mayor Ruffy Biazon signed into law a foster care ordinance to help children who were abused, neglected, abandoned and surrendered, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

Abused, neglected, abandoned and surrendered children will be given alternative child care under a foster care ordinance of the Muntinlupa City government.

Ordinance No. 2025-333, or the Muntinlupa City Foster Care Ordinance, was signed by Mayor Ruffy Biazon on April 15 after it was enacted by the Muntinlupa City Council.

“Children, especially those who are abused, neglected, abandoned and surrendered, must be provided with alternative child care to afford them the love, care and utmost protection from all forms of social opportunism and violence against children, thus the need to enact this Ordinance,” the ordinance stated.

The Muntinlupa City government “recognizes that a child will benefit more from foster care than institutional care. As such, it shall strengthen, develop and expand its foster care program and ensure that its alternative child care program shall provide a wholesome atmosphere to the foster child as a step towards the child’s return and reintegration to his biological parents or placement with an adoptive family.”

Foster care is defined in the ordinance as the “provision of planned temporary substitute parental care to a child by a foster parent.”

The ordinance established the “Aruga at Kupkop ng Pamilya para sa mga Bata sa Muntinlupa Program.”

Under the ordinance, the city government will submit to the chairperson of the Local Council for the Protection Of Children (I-CPC) a list of 20 prospective foster parents “who are willing and able to provide foster family care to abused, abandoned, neglected and surrendered children.”

They will be recommended for Foster Family Care License with the Regional Alternative Child Care Office-National Capital Region based on the Home Study Report prepared by the social workers of the Social Services Department (SSD).

The local law mandates the city government to “exhaust the possibility of placing the child in kinship care before considering placing the child to non-blood related family.”

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, do you approve of the foster care ordinance? Do you think the City Government can sustain the local foster care program in the long run?

Several minors rescued by NBI in Parañaque City, suspects apprehended

April 1, 2025March 28, 2025carlocarrasco

Recently in Parañaque City, elements of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) rescued several minors and arrested two suspects for offering the said minors to clients in exchange for money, according to a GMA Network news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA news report. Some parts in boldface…

Eleven minors, aged 14 to 16, who were allegedly being sexually exploited were rescued by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Human Trafficking Division in Parañaque City.

According to a 24 Oras report by John Consulta on Thursday, two suspects, believed to be pimps, were arrested for allegedly offering the minors to clients for P2,000. The suspects reportedly lured the minors into their services, bringing them to public establishments or restaurants, where customers could choose from among them.

Tensions escalated during the operation when some of the minors attempted to flee, but they were rescued by authorities. The transactions were reportedly carried out through messaging apps and text messages. The minors were promised free snacks and a “good time”, only to later be coerced into providing sexual favors.

“They would be tricked into libre ng merienda and a good time. And later on after the fact of the sexual favor, bibigay na yung bayad. Niloloko and then later on they would be tricked into going out with the customer. Nakakabahala ito dahil unang-una minors ang binibenta dito. Hindi lang na very public na ‘yung pangyayari kung saan-saan,” said NBI spokesperson Regional Director Ferdinand Lavin.

They are currently under the custody of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to undergo counseling.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, are you concerned that there could be a lot more human traffickers and pimps doing illegal operations? Do you consider human trafficking a serious problem in the city?
