Reports have surfaced that human smugglers are exploiting the popular social media platform TikTok in order to market their services of illegally crossing the US border along with a hefty price. An in-depth report by USA Today highlights that migrants and smugglers utilize social media to gain insights on how to proceed with their journey adequately.

The smugglers guarantee the illicit move to be safe and unnoticeable. They claim that the price may range from a few hundred dollars to over $10,000 if one's journey starts in Guyana. When asked about the legality of his services, the smuggler responded that many people use social media to promote unlawful activities, and the platform does nothing about it.

It is indeed an alarming trend that social media has become a hub for migrants seeking guidelines and smugglers advertising their nefarious services. The United Nations International Organization for Migration has also expressed concerns about the trend of smugglers and migrants posting about their illegal activities specifically on TikTok.
