DOJ Announces Indictments of Unaccompanied Minor 'Super Sponsors'

- On Thursday, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the indictment of three Guatemalans in Ohio for allegedly operating a fraudulent sponsorship scheme to smuggle unaccompanied minors into the United States.
- Federal officials are targeting 'super sponsors'—individuals sponsoring more than three unrelated children—after identifying more than 15,500 such cases nationwide linked to potential trafficking.
- Maritza Azucena Cahuec Coc, Carlos Agustin Cahuec Coc, and Gladys Marina Caal Chen allegedly submitted fake birth certificates and IDs, falsely claiming to be close relatives to obtain custody of unaccompanied children.
- Separately, a 27-year-old Guatemalan national was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison after obtaining custody of a 14-year-old girl through fraudulent sponsorship documents and sexually assaulting her.
- Joint Task Force Alpha, a DOJ-DHS partnership, continues efforts to dismantle human smuggling networks while authorities work to locate nearly 300,000 unaccompanied children currently unaccounted for.
