57 rescued in Nepal over two weeks
Border agents rescued 57 women and children, ages 11 to 29, from human trafficking.
Among those rescued was a 17-year-old traveling with her infant son. She had been promised a better life by a man she met a month ago on Facebook. He switched off his phone after discovering our agents had stopped her at the border.
Agents also rescued 11- and 12-year-old girls traveling together to meet a man that had promised them jobs and money for schooling in a neighboring country. Neither child had ever learned to read. Agents attempted to contact the man but he switched off his phone.
