At a recent national policy conference, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Tom Homan shared a heartbreaking account that underscores the dangers of human trafficking across the country.Homan revealed that ICE agents had rescued a 14-year-old girl who was found living with two adult men who had allegedly trafficked her. According to the agency, the young girl is pregnant, believed to be a result of being forced into prostitution.

“We just found one two days ago — a 14-year-old girl, pregnant, after being trafficked,” Homan said. “We’re doing everything we can to care for her, physically and mentally.”

Homan, a father himself, emphasized the agency’s commitment to protecting children and vulnerable individuals. “Despite how we’re sometimes portrayed, we deeply care about these kids,” he said.
