An elementary school in the sanctuary state of Colorado employed an illegal immigrant to teach fifth grade before she was ultimately arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Marina Ortiz-Abollaneda left Peru and crossed the border illegally in 2022. She was ultimately released into the country as the Biden administration waved in thousands of migrants each month, the Department of Homeland Security told The Daily Wire. She began teaching at the Global Village Academy in the Denver suburb of Parker, Colorado, after she received a work permit, according to a letter Principal Stacy Bush recently sent to parents. ICE nabbed Ortiz-Abollaneda alongside her family members on Friday while she was reporting for a routine check-in with ICE as part of her ongoing immigration case. “The previous administration’s open border policies allowed Ortiz-Abollaneda and millions of other illegal aliens — including violent criminals — to be released into this country,” Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire. “We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $1,000 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return,” said McLaughlin. The school is now working to get Ortiz-Abollaneda back to teaching, Bush wrote in her letter to parents. “We are currently working closely with our legal team and outside immigration attorneys to understand if and how we might be able to help facilitate their return to Colorado,” Bush wrote. Susan Meek, a board of education director for the Douglas County School District, said she was “deeply shocked and profoundly saddened” by Ortiz-Abollaneda’s arrest, according to ABC7. “When someone who contributes to our shared mission of educating children is suddenly taken away, it sends a chilling message to the many families in our district who live each day with fear, uncertainty, and vulnerability,” Meek wrote in a statement. The Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign has exposed cases of illegal immigrants who have been educating America’s youth. In one recent case, ICE arrested Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Andre Roberts of Guyana, who was in the United States illegally and had a lengthy rap sheet, The Daily Wire previously reported.

Glamour UK magazine just named nine men as recipients of its annual “Women of the Year” Awards. Transgender honorees Munroe Bergdorf, Maxine Heron, Taira, Munya, Bel Priestly, Dani St James, Ceval Omar, Mya Mehmi, and Shon Faye were all photographed for the magazine cover, standing together wearing “Protect the Dolls” t-shirts. “Dolls” refers to transgender-identifying males, and the shirts have been sold to raise money for a hotline providing support to transgender-identifying people in the United States and Canada. Many of the reactions on social media were negative. 9 men have been chosen as Glamour’s Women of the Year.

Rowling wrote. “Now mainstream women’s magazines tell girls that men are better women than they are.” Glamour UK included an article featuring interviews with the “dolls” where they expanded on the issue of transgender rights.  “Now, trans people – and especially trans women – are facing a committed attempt from anti-trans pressure groups and right-wing politicians to make exclusionary policy the default across British public life including toilets, changing rooms, leisure facilities, workplaces, hospital wards and crisis support services. The intention is clear: to drive us out of public life to repress, then deny our existence,” the accompanying article says. Bergdorf complained that trans-identifying people are facing “segregation laws” and “an inability to participate in public life.” When the interviewer asked Omar what “protect the dolls” meant in practice, he replied, “I think it should, first and foremost, be ‘pay the dolls’ because there’s no protection like having stability and having money to secure yourself with housing and hormones and all these things. So, ‘paying the dolls’, I think, is very important, even when you think of protecting the dolls.” This is not the first time men have been honored as women. In 2023, the U.K.-based outlet Attitude Magazine named trans activist Dylan Mulvaney as its Woman of the Year. The same thing happened in 2022 when influencer Linn da Quebrada became Glamour Brazil’s “Woman of the Year.”

The Daily Wire is releasing an important new documentary today. In association with Our Rescue, “Hiding in Plain Sight” takes you inside the shocking world of digital predators who use everyday apps to hunt, groom, and traffic children from their own bedrooms — at a scale law enforcement has never seen before. Few people know that better than Derek Benner, CEO of Our Rescue. Benner helped lead the creation of the DHS Center for Countering Human Trafficking, the nation’s first unified task force dedicated to ending modern slavery. As Benner points out, the crisis is closer than we think. — The Daily Wire * * * One of the most common questions I get as the CEO of Our Rescue is: “Does child exploitation and sex trafficking really happen here?” I often reply, if you ask any law enforcement officer working sex trafficking and child exploitation cases, they’ll tell you the same thing: “The biggest mistake people make is thinking this crime doesn’t happen at home, in our communities, in the United States. It does. And it’s everywhere.” Worldwide, there are nearly 50 million people trapped in modern slavery, according to the International Labor Organization. In 2024, the Global Tips Report showed that the number of children being trafficked had increased 31% in 2022 compared to 2019, with a 38% rise recorded for girls. Before I joined Our Rescue, I spent my career at Homeland Security Investigations — leading complex efforts to combat human trafficking and child exploitation and spearheading the creation of the DHS Center for Countering Human Trafficking, the first unified, inter-agency coordination center dedicated to combating trafficking in all forms. And I can tell you, everyday law enforcement officers uncover cases of children and adults being groomed, recruited, coerced, or even sold in our own communities. The victims are not just statistics; they are neighbors, classmates, and children whose lives are being stolen in plain sight. But beyond these trafficking cases, another fast-growing threat is here in the U.S. — the online sexual exploitation of children. Technology has opened new frontiers for predators and organized criminal groups, making it easier than ever to target American kids in their own homes. The scale of child sexual exploitation in the United States is staggering. In 2024 alone, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline received over 20.5 million reports of suspected child sexual exploitation. These reports included more than 62.9 million files of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). This is not just a statistic; it represents real images, videos, and other materials depicting children enduring unimaginable harm. Mike Prado, who heads the Cyber Crimes Center (C3) at Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), put it plainly: “This is no longer just about lone offenders. Today, organized criminal groups overseas are running sextortion schemes that deliberately target American children for profit.” Operations out of places like West Africa have pushed kids in America into such despair that some have taken their own lives within hours of first contact. That is the new face of exploitation. And it’s happening in U.S. households. Every. Single. Day. The game has changed. “Now these offenders have access to the same technology that the government has,” Prado told me. “They don’t have to go to MIT. They don’t have to have a computer science degree to figure this stuff out.” Two decades ago, law enforcement relied on basic email for victim identification. Smartphones weren’t widely available, the darknet was barely in use, and exploiting technology required computer science expertise. Today, both predators and our children can figure out these tools with ease. Technology is everywhere, and every device a child receives, whether for school or learning, can become a portal into the darker areas of the internet. According to a 2019 Kaspersky study, 84% of parents worldwide are worried about their children’s online safety. Yet also according to the study, on average, parents only spend a total of 46 minutes talking to their children about online security throughout their entire childhood. Ignoring that is a luxury we can’t afford anymore. While law enforcement and government investment in combating exploitation have increased over the years, there is still much more to do to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated offenders. The core challenge is sheer scale. Every success is quickly met with new cases, and for every criminal network taken down overseas, another takes its place. It is the demand for Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) in the U.S. that keeps this cycle in motion. In 2024, reports involving generative artificial intelligence (AI) increased by 1,325%, highlighting how technology is being weaponized against our children. Additionally, reports of online enticement, including sextortion, rose by 192%, with nearly 100 reports of financial sextortion per day. Since 2021, NCMEC has been aware of at least 36 teenage boys who have taken their lives due to this crime. The problem is not just the number of cases but the sophistication of the predators and the overwhelming volume of reports. In 2024, NCMEC assisted law enforcement with 29,568 cases of missing children and helped bring 91% of them home. However, the risks, especially online, are becoming more complex and widespread. But I believe that partnerships are the key to changing the tide in this fight. Just this year, the inaugural Interstate Justice Coalition surge operation (coordinated between Our Rescue, We Fight Monsters, and Skull Games Solutions and in partnership with local law enforcement agencies) spanned across Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, resulting in the identification of 32 trafficking victims, the safe recovery of 26 survivors, and the arrest of 15 traffickers. It’s work like this — collaboration between law enforcement, nonprofits, communities, and individuals is what ultimately keeps children safe. Fighting sex trafficking and child exploitation isn’t only about arrests: It’s also about prevention and education, because the best defense is an informed community. I invite you to learn more about how you can Join the Fight against sex trafficking and child exploitation. We must stop living like it is someone else’s problem. It’s not. It’s here, and it’s exploding at a rate our communities are not prepared to handle. No one can fight it alone. But together we can save lives and dismantle networks that exploit and harm children. * * * Derek Benner is proud to serve as the CEO of Our Rescue. Formerly the Chief Mission Officer, overseeing international and domestic Operations and Survivor Care teams, he brings expertise gained from a 30-year career in federal law enforcement that includes leading Homeland Security Investigations within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Derek led the creation of the DHS Center for Countering Human Trafficking, the first unified, inter-component coordination center for countering human trafficking.
