Trump Officials Broaden Investigation into Nonprofit Organizations Aiding Migrants

The Trump administration is expanding its probe into what happened to the record number of migrant children who crossed the southern border without their parents during the Biden era, dispatching investigators to nonprofit organizations, prosecuting alleged smugglers and requesting help from the U.S. military.

Administration officials recently said federal investigators are continuing a nationwide effort to prosecute anyone who has committed a crime involving an unaccompanied minor, but records obtained by The Washington Post and accounts from aid workers show the administration’s efforts have been even broader.

President Donald Trump and his administration say their investigation aims to protect hundreds of thousands of children who arrived alone and were released to sponsors who they claim were poorly vetted. They allege many of those adults then abused or exploited the children for financial gain; however, so far, the government has presented examples of a small number of cases.
