Abandoned Salvadoran Child Found on Thanksgiving Day near Border in Texas

As most Americans celebrated Thanksgiving, Texas Department of Public Safety troopers were on patrol along the Texas border. Maverick County police officers near Eagle Pass have discovered a missing 10-year-old boy from El Salvador who was abandoned by smugglers.

Texas DPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivares posted a video on social media showing the Salvadoran boy left behind by a human stowaway guide. A police officer found a boy who was lost and crying.

“Many of us celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends. Many children are in dire situations due to the open border situation and are unable to enjoy the holiday or see their families. “We must not forget that even more children trafficked across the southern border are exploited and exposed to dangerous criminal environments while traveling to the United States,” Olivarez said. said.

The child was left without food or water. He only had a cell phone. The boy told officers his parents were somewhere in the United States.

Earlier this week, police found a 2-year-old Salvadoran girl who had traveled without her family to the Texas border near Eagle Pass. The girl crossed the border from Mexico into Texas with a large group of migrants, including 60 unaccompanied migrant children.

Incoming Trump administration border czar Tom Homan posted a report showing a 2-year-old unaccompanied minor in El Salvador had a note with contact names and phone numbers. . He reported that Texas DPS officers found the girl among a group of 211 migrants. The group included 59 other unaccompanied migrant children.

Unaccompanied migrant children are turned over to Border Patrol agents, who then release them to Health and Human Services officials. This is the agency that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will soon lead.

“This is a clear example of how children are making the dangerous journey from their home countries and how criminal organizations are trafficking children across the southern border and further into the interior.” Mr. Olivarez wrote about these children. “Regardless of political views, it is unacceptable for children to be exposed to dangerous criminal trafficking networks.”

“With record numbers of unaccompanied children and hundreds of thousands of people missing, who better than the men and women working on the front lines every day to ensure the safety and security of these children? “There is no one,” he continued. “Despite years of criticism, the reality is that many children are exploited, trafficked and never heard from again.”

Olivarez said DPS officers rescued more than 900 children during Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's Operation Lone Star.
