A top Senate committee reveals the Biden administration not only placed thousands of migrant children with possibly dangerous individuals, but ignored thousands of reports of human trafficking and child endangerment and obstructed law enforcement efforts to investigate.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) reports he has “released a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) summary revealing thousands of concerning reports were identified in the Biden-Harris administration’s unaccompanied alien children (UC) program, but left unresolved, including cases of potential trafficking and fraud,” the committee reports.
The extent of the cover-up is shocking.
“The Trump administration is now working to process 65,605 reports concerning migrant children, which were ignored or dismissed during the previous administration. These reports include 56,591 notifications of concern, 7,346 reports of human trafficking and 1,688 fraud leads,” the committee reports.
“In a little over 100 days, the Trump administration has processed over 28 percent of the Biden-Harris backlog, resulting in 528 investigative leads, 36 investigations accepted for prosecution by U.S. Attorneys, seven indictments, 25 arrest warrants, 11 arrests and three convictions,” the committee adds.
“My oversight exposed the Biden-Harris administration for placing unaccompanied migrant children with dangerous sponsors and actively obstructing law enforcement and Congress’ efforts to rescue vulnerable kids. I applaud the Trump administration for its swift action to protect unaccompanied migrant children by addressing the concerning reports the Biden-Harris administration shelved,” Grassley said. “I look forward to working with Secretary Kennedy to ensure justice is served.”
The committee notes:
Grassley has spearheaded efforts to protect unaccompanied migrant children from exploitation and abuse for more than a decade.
Last year, he submitted a law enforcement referral, including legally protected whistleblower disclosures, to the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Bureau of Investigation flagging potentially criminal activity in the UC program. Homeland Security Investigations used this referral to identify over 100 suspicious UC sponsors. However, the Biden-Harris administration failed to fully respond to two thirds of the subpoenas issued by law enforcement as a result of Grassley’s referral. At Grassley’s request, President Trump’s HHS has pledged to review compliance with those subpoenas to help law enforcement find and rescue children, and shut down possible trafficking networks.
This Congress, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General published a report which validated Grassley’s findings and confirmed the Biden-Harris administration lost track of hundreds-of-thousands of migrant children, placed children with dangerous sponsors and restricted information sharing with law enforcement.

Prison is the only thing that should be acceptable to the American people for the criminal activity of the Biden/Harris administration’s dealing in child trafficking. Let’s not forget the news media, the democrats propaganda wing. Now that they have been proven to be complicit and covering up the facts. Morning Joe and Mika, Whoopie Goldberg, Joy Behar, Jake Tapper, et al.
This is an story the MSM will not touch because it will would implicate all the Dems who knew and looked the other way.
This comes as no surprise to me. All over the country, police are wasting time and taxpayer dollars…and causing mass destruction to families’ finances…by conducting sex stings on ADULT PLATFORMS! Men are not on these sites looking for children – this makes no sense! Yet the men get convicted and they and their families lives and finances are destroyed. WHY are we doing this??? Meanwhile, NCMEC reports that more than 90% of the leads that are submitted to them regarding children that DO need help, are left uninvestigated! WHAT ARE WE DOING???
