Super sponsors secure custody of minors by using fraudulent documents to portray themselves as close relatives.<\/p>\n<p>Three illegal immigrants from Guatemala were accused of immigration fraud and smuggling after prosecutors said they harbored the children in Ohio, with one of the children being sexually abused by her sponsor.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities charged Maritza Azucena Cahuec Coc, 38, and her brother Carlos Agustin Cahuec Coc, 33, in the smuggling conspiracy that saw more than a dozen children trafficked into the U.S. between 2020-23. The siblings face up to 10 years behind bars if they are convicted.<\/p>\n<p>Another Guatemalan national, 27-year-old Juan Tiul Xi, pleaded guilty to smuggling a 14-year-old girl into the country by submitting phony sponsorship paperwork that claimed he was the girl\u2019s older brother. Prosecutors said Xi then victimized the girl by sexually assaulting her, crimes for which he was convicted in state court.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=1761\">Republicans ask EPA to consider abortion drug as contaminant in public water systems<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was entrusted with her care and sexually assaulted her multiple times,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Tysen Duva, who heads up the department\u2019s criminal division. \u201cHe told her the sex was repayment for bringing her to the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Xi will spend more than 10 years in prison for the document fraud and sexual assault.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Mullin said some of the children they have made contact with claim to have been raped up to 700 times. Mr. Blanche said the DOJ is looking into more than 15,000 super sponsor cases that have been tied to hundreds of thousands of migrant children trafficked into the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Acting head of the Office of Refugee Resettlement Angie Salazar, whose office is part of the Department of Health and Human Services, said some of the 146,000 children who were located by federal agents were either dead or had been linked to heinous crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities are still working through a list of 81,000 addresses that are connected to the unaccounted-for children, she said. Ms. Salazar added that the Trump administration is trying to fix problems created by the former White House in which children were handed over to people who were rarely seen in person by federal officials and sent to live at addresses that were not visited or verified.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s negligent at best and criminal at worst,\u201d Mr. Mullin said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re not taking care of the kids that you\u2019re entrusted to take care of, negligence can turn into [a crime].\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=1760\">Foreign surveillance law set to expire as Congress leaves town after rejecting extensions<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal officials on Thursday said they have accounted for 146,000 unaccompanied migrant children who were smuggled into the U.S. during former President Joseph R.
