On January 6, 2026, President Donald J. Trump announced new measures to end human trafficking and strengthen border security during National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. He said his administration has declared a national emergency at the southern border, designated criminal cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and launched the largest mass deportation operation in history. The president also signed the One Big Beautiful Bill, which expands the Department of Homeland Security and ICE, secures funding for Border Patrol, and authorizes construction of a new border wall. Additional actions include a fund for sex‑trafficking survivors, sanctions on over 100 online scam operators, increased funding for the National Human Trafficking Hotline, and new legislation such as the TAKE IT DOWN Act and Trafficking Survivors Relief Act. As a result, the Border Patrol has released zero illegal aliens for seven consecutive months, and ICE has begun the Unaccompanied Children Safety Verification Initiative.
