The United States on Tuesday announced a new operation focused on combating human smuggling, with an emphasis on taking down criminal organizations that smuggle children, women, and men into the United States from Mexico and Canada.
“We know all too well that these organizations put profit over human life with devastating consequences. With the help of our federal and foreign partners, we aim to cut off access to that profit by denying these criminal organizations the ability to engage in travel, trade, and finance in the United States,” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters in a conference call.
