A 13-year-old girl from Rochester, New York, was reported missing after being lured away from her home by two illegal immigrants. This alarming case unfolded when the girl was last seen on September 11, shortly before she got into a light-colored SUV with three individuals.
The Rochester Police Department quickly sought assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service to locate the missing girl. Their investigation revealed that she had traveled to the Chicago area. After a thorough search, authorities found her ten days later at an apartment complex in Blue Island, Illinois, which is located just outside Chicago.
The girl was discovered in the company of an 18-year-old man and his father, both of whom were identified as illegal immigrants by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The U.S. Marshals emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that the girl was in danger and needed to be rescued from individuals who should not have been in the country.
U.S. Marshals Service Director Gadyaces S. Serralta expressed relief at the safe recovery of the girl, stressing that children deserve to grow up in safe environments. The case highlights ongoing concerns about the safety of minors and the implications of illegal immigration.
As of now, there has been no comment from the Department of Homeland Security or ICE regarding this incident. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the girl’s abduction continues as authorities work to ensure her safety and well-being.
