Tiul Xi is also accused of submitting a sponsorship application containing false statements to gain custody of the teen.”The prior administration’s border policies created an environment that enabled human trafficking and allowed bad actors to take advantage of at-risk children,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. “We are committed to protecting children from the scourge of human trafficking and will not rest until we deliver justice for those who suffered during the border crisis.” BONDI DEFIANT, SAYS ABREGO GARCIA WILL STAY IN EL SALVADOR ‘END OF THE STORY’Tiul Xi allegedly entered the U.S. illegally under the Biden administration in 2023.
