While U.S. Bishops work to restore their illegal immigration grift, the tragedy of human trafficking is decreasing.
In the months following President Donald Trump’s return to office in January, illegal border crossings and human trafficking incidents have significantly decreased.

Under the previous administration, the organization’s three safe houses, which provide food, healthcare, mental health support, and optional religious instruction, were at full capacity. Traffickers frequently used children as “props” to facilitate illegal crossings. Now, with stricter border controls in place, approximately half of the beds in Tucker’s shelters remain empty.
