Pair Of Illegal Immigrants Lure 13-Year-Old Girl From New York Home To Illinois

A pair of illegal immigrants lured a 13-year-old girl from her home in Rochester, New York, transporting her to a location outside of Chicago before federal authorities found her 10 days later.

The young girl was first reported missing on September 11, the U.S. Marshals Service said Monday. She was later seen in a security video meeting with three individuals before getting into a light-colored SUV with them.

The Rochester Police Department requested help locating the missing child from the U.S. Marshals, who determined that she had traveled to the Chicago area.

She ended up at an apartment complex in the 2300 block of West 119th Street in Blue Island, Illinois, where she was found in the company of an 18-year-old man and his father, both of whom were determined by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be illegal immigrants, according to the U.S. Marshals.

“The United States Marshals Service worked tirelessly to recover this endangered child from the predators who should have never been in this country to take her from the safety of her family and home. Our children deserve safe cities!” U.S. Marshals Service Director Gadyaces S. Serralta said in a statement Monday.

Neither the Department of Homeland Security nor Immigration and Customs Enforcement responded to The Daily Wire’s requests for comment.
