The U.S. government is expanding its efforts to locate migrant children who crossed the southern border without their parents. This undertaking comes in response to the large number of children entering the U.S. during the Biden administration.
Authorities are focusing on several strategies. They are conducting criminal investigations against individuals suspected of smuggling activities. Additionally, officials are visiting nonprofit organizations unannounced to gather information and assist in ongoing investigations.
Moreover, there is an initiative to involve the U.S. military. This collaboration aims to provide support in tracking and locating these children to ensure their safety and well-being.
An example of this issue arose with a 5-year-old Mexican migrant who crossed the border in Ruby, Arizona, in early 2025. He and his brother were traveling alone and interacted with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers upon arrival.
