El Paso, February 4 (RHC)-- The Donald Trump administration is seeking to access a database, maintained by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, with information on hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children. 

Rights advocates warn Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, could use the data to further its crackdown, separating more families and causing more harm to the children.

Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is visiting troops on the militarized southern border today.  He posted ahead of his trip, ”POTUS wants 100% operational control of the border—and we will deliver.  BORDER SECURITY IS NATIONAL SECURITY.”
