A substantial number of “migrant families” stopped while attempting to illegally enter the United States aren’t even related, according to the results of a rapid DNA testing program performed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The cheek swab tests were part of a program developed to determine how many children were being trafficked by persons other than their family members, despite claims that the children were part of a family unit.
According to FOX News, around 30% of children were mixed in with unrelated “family members.”
The testing comes nearly a year after the halt of the controversial splitting of adults and children at the border by Department of Homeland Security and US Customs and Border Protection agents.
