WASHINGTON — Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Wednesday found 73 migrants -- including 13 children -- in multiple Washington, D.C., homes believed to be operated by human smugglers, according to an ICE official.

The"stash houses," as they are known to investigators, were found in the largely affluent area of Northwest Washington, the official confirmed. The development was first reported by NBC.

"HSI [Homeland Security Investigations] has dedicated groups assigned to combat human smuggling," an ICE spokesperson said in a statement."Our goal is to identify, disrupt, and dismantle significant Transnational Criminal Organizations involved in human smuggling through the aggressive, and smart, application of the full range of our authorities."

Abbott has said his bussing policy is in response to President Joe Biden and Congress' border policies and the"chaos they have caused ... they refuse to come down and see firsthand."
