‘60,000 Kids:’ Department of Homeland Security In The Human Trafficking Business?
‘60,000 Kids:’ Department of Homeland Security In The Human Trafficking Business?
Apr 26, 2025 8:11 PM

Judge Andrew S. Hanen, a federal district judge in Brownsville, Texas, is accusing the Obama administration’s Department of Homeland Security of plicit in human trafficking from Mexico.

Here is what appears to be happening: a parent pays a “coyote” or smuggler in Mexico to bring the parent’s child from Mexico to the United States, illegally. Typically, these coyotes are smuggling drugs as well. When DHS captures the coyotes, they will then often “deliver” the smuggled child to the parent, despite the illegality of the situation. However, many children are held held for ransom by coyotes that are not arrested by DHS, or are subjected to sex trafficking.

Megyn Kelly of Fox News, discusses the situation with documentary filmmaker Dennis Michael Lynch.

Unemployment as economic-spiritual indicator — January 2017 report
Series Note: Jobs are one of the most important aspects of a morally functioning economy. They help us serve the needs of our neighbors and lead to human flourishing both for the individual and munities. Conversely, not having a job can adversely affect spiritual and psychological well-being of individuals and families. Because unemployment is a spiritual problem, Christians in America need to understand and be aware of the monthly data on employment. Each month highlight the latest numbers we need...
Rev. Sirico: Ordered liberty depends on virtue
In a new article for theLakeland Ledger, Rev.Robert Sirico, president and co-founder of the Acton Institute, explains why ordered liberty depends on virtue: What I have learned in these intervening decades is that it’s not enough simply to be a “free” society. It’s equally important to strive toward being a “virtuous” society as well. The Irish statesman Edmund Burke summed this idea up in the phrase “ordered liberty,” a concept incorporated in that patriotic hymn that calls for America to...

State and society each has its own sphere
“The question that now demands our full attention is this,” says Abraham Kuyper in this week’s Acton Commentary, “What attitude should Christians adopt in the face of the socialist movement?” And then it is beyond question that we too should be moved to passion by the disorder of our society and the great distress that has resulted from it. We may not, like the priest and the Levite, pass by the exhausted traveler who lies bleeding from his wounds, but...

Trump’s regulation executive order: A good Canadian and British idea

President Donald Trump’s most recent executive order to curtail federal regulation is one such example. Donald Trump signing executive orders in the Oval Office. Credit: White House Facebook Page.

Zacchaeus, mob mentality, and the entrepreneur
Watching the unfolding violence and chaos at UC-Berkeley last night, I could not help but think of two people: August Landmesser and Zacchaeus, the reformed tax collector from the Gospel of St. Luke. In my branch of the Orthodox Christian Church, the story of Zaccheus (St. Luke 19:1-10) was read on Sunday as the first of several weeks in preparation for Lent. The tax collector, too short to see over the crowd, climbed up a ore [sic] tree in order...
