Border patrol agents say they saved a baby from possibly being trafficked through Southern California, nearly a week ago, and still have not found the infant’s family.
Marisa Ugarte with the Bilateral Safety Corridor Coalition said there are several reasons children are trafficked.
The non-profit, according to its website, has worked on more than 10,000 human trafficking victim referrals in San Diego County. Ugarte said the length of the U.S.-Mexico border can provide opportunities for organized crime in Tijuana, Mexicali and other places. Those crimes include selling kidnapped children, illegal adoptions and more.
