Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Wednesday that young female migrants traveling north to the United States are raped with such regularity that Immigration and Customs Enforcement gives every girl age 10 and over a pregnancy test after arriving.
‘Very unfortunately, because of the increase in violence, at ICE, when we have families with children, we have to give every girl a pregnancy test over 10. This is not a safe journey,’ Nielsen told the House Homeland Security Committee.
Doctors Without Borders reported in 2017 that ‘68.3 percent of the migrant and refugee populations entering Mexico’ from Central America ‘reported being victims of violence during their transit toward the United States.’
And ‘[n]early one-third of the women surveyed had been sexually abused during their journey,’ the group concluded.
During a speech Saturday to conservative activists, President Trump claimed that when girls head north, Central American mothers routinely ‘give them massive amounts of birth control pills because they know their daughters are going to be raped on the way up to our southern border.’
‘Think of how evil that is,’ he said.
Trump recalled the beating he took in the press after condemning illegal immigrant ‘rapists’ during his 2015 campaign launch speech.
‘If you look at that speech, that was so innocent compared to what’s really happening. That was a very innocent speech compared to the real facts,’ he said Saturday.
Nielsen clashed Wednesday with House Democrats over border security and the still-lingering crisis of family separations.
Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, told her that President Donald Trump abused his power last month by announcing that he would build a long-promised border wall without congressional approval to correct a ‘non-existent emergency.’
Nielsen countered that tens of thousands of families are illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border every month, flooding in numbers too great for her agency to contain. And she predicted that the numbers would reach new peaks in the spring.
Last month more than 76,000 migrants were apprehended at or near the border without permission to enter the country. That was more than double the number during the same period in 2018.
Meanwhile the White House is still bearing the effects of a public relations nightmare over a Justice Department zero-tolerance policy for illegal border-jumpers, including those with children in tow. That directive led to thousands of minors being housed far away from the adults who brought them into the U.S.
