A 90-minute rapid DNA test is responsible for determining a male migrant and baby who arrived together at the Texas border as a family unit earlier this month were not related, according to an official with first-hand knowledge of events surrounding the incident.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched a pilot program with the system for a handful of days at two locations on the U.S.-Mexico border earlier this month to see if the technology could help agents conclusively confirm or deny whether migrants who claim to be related are in fact family.
A 90-minute rapid DNA test is responsible for determining a male migrant and baby who arrived together at the Texas border as a family unit earlier this month were not related, according to an official with first-hand knowledge of events surrounding the incident.
Agents learned Guiza-Reyes had been deported in 2013. He was turned over to ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations agents, who believed he may not have been the father of the child.
ICE ordered a DNA test of the pair and the man consented to a cheek swab for the two. The swab was run through a machine, which concluded the two were not related.
The Honduran man admitted the baby's birth certificate was illegitimate. He was charged in federal court in the Southern District of Texas on May 10 with alien smuggling.
The infant was turned over to the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement because the baby is technically an unaccompanied minor.

That sounds inexpensive. Our idiot government always manages to outdo itself
Now just rinse and repeat a couple thousand times a day. Yay.
Does Maury Povich give them the news?
Anyone who illegally or fraudulantly tries to enter this country should have a DNA sample taken and permanently banned from EVER entering this country again. For ANY purpose.
Excellent.
This is great that they can find out right away, rather letting the guy get away with it.
Alien smuggling or kidnapping?
Was he paid to smuggle in the baby... either for resale or for reuniting with illegal parents already here (unlikely with an infant)?
Or did he grab the baby for his own ease of transport?
DNA testing V illegal alien
DNA test wins = American citizens win
Place the child for adoption in the US. If that happens another time or two parents will think twice before “renting” their children out.
we don’t need more kids in adoption system it’s a mess too.
Of the potential possibilities you presented, I would think this is the most likely:
“Or did he grab the baby for his own ease of transport?”
The short answer is not our concern, and they have to go back.
wow!
No. Place the child up for adoption in HONDURAS!
The US is so desirable to sh!thole country dwellers that a guaranteed way to give a child a better life might seem a good course.
[we don’t need more kids in adoption system it’s a mess too.]
how much does a kit like this cost? Are the results statistically as good or nearly as good as an alcohol test?
“infant was turned over to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement “
Also known as NXIVM.
Time to test the Clinton Family.
Then test the Obama family.
now work on a rapid citizenship test
