Trump administration identifies ‘super-sponsors’ of migrant children in a possible prosecution tack
The Trump administration identified over 15,000 cases of adults gaining custody of multiple migrant children in the U.S., signaling potential prosecutions for 'super-sponsors' who care for more than three unrelated children. The Justice Department highlighted three Guatemalan nationals as examples of improper sponsor vetting, while criticizing prior Biden-era policies for errors in releasing children to unvetted sponsors.
