Homeland Security Details Shocking Abuse of Migrant Children; Adults Impregnated Children

“Children’s safety and security is nonnegotiable,” said Laszlo Baksay, a spokesperson at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “The previous administration’s failure to implement meaningful safeguards has allowed vulnerable kids to fall into the hands of criminals.”
