U.S. Marshals seek funding for Missing Child Unit

The U.S. Marshals Service, the oldest federal law enforcement agency, was granted authority in 2015 to assist in finding missing children and runaways, CBS News reported.

Since then, the Marshals have operated a Missing Child Unit dedicated to these cases, but they are now seeking additional funding to support and expand their efforts.

The request for funds aims to enhance the unit's capabilities in locating and recovering missing children across the country.

This development highlights ongoing federal efforts to address the issue of missing children and the resources needed to support such operations.
