Trump promises to repatriate trafficked kids after witnessing Sound of Freedom.
Former President Donald Trump’s Bold Promise to End Child Trafficking
After being deeply moved by the movie Sound of Freedom, former President Donald Trump made a powerful campaign promise on Friday. In a video shared on Truth Social, he declared, “I will use Title 42 to put an end to the child trafficking crises. Every trafficked child will be returned to their families in their home countries without delay.” Trump went even further, urging Congress to pass legislation that would impose the death penalty on anyone caught trafficking children across our borders, emphasizing that this includes women.
The Significance of Title 42
It’s important to understand the context of Trump’s promise. Title 42 was a policy implemented during his administration, allowing Border Patrol to expel immigrants without granting them an asylum hearing. Enacted in March 2020 as a precaution during the COVID-19 pandemic, President Joe Biden has since rescinded this policy.
However, Trump highlighted his administration’s efforts to combat human trafficking and modern-day slavery. He pointed to the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Re-authorization Act, the Abolish Human Trafficking Act, and various executive orders as evidence of his commitment to this cause.
A Movie That Inspired Change
The announcement followed a special screening of Sound of Freedom, which Trump hosted at his New Jersey golf course. The event was attended by producer Eduardo Verastegui, lead actor Jim Caviezel, and former Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard and his wife. The film portrays Ballard’s courageous operations to rescue trafficked children in Colombia.
Encouraging his over 5.7 million followers, Trump urged them to watch the movie, recognizing its impact in raising awareness about child trafficking. Angel Studios, the distributor of Sound of Freedom, proudly shared that the independent film has now grossed an impressive $100 million, surpassing the box office success of Disney’s Indiana Jones sequel and Sony Picture’s Insidious sequel.
With his passionate promise and the influence of Sound of Freedom, Trump continues to champion the fight against child trafficking, leaving a lasting impact on this critical issue.
