Thank you for inviting me to testify about the crisis of trafficked and missing migrant children. We must take urgent action to rescue these children from exploitation, including slave labor and sexual trafficking. Many are working in dangerous conditions to repay debts to smugglers. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has a poor track record of protecting these vulnerable children, often losing them to abusive sponsors. We need immediate measures like DNA testing for children and their sponsors, strict penalties for negligent sponsors, and improved oversight. Child trafficking should be treated as a national security threat, with intelligence and law enforcement mobilized to dismantle these networks. We have a moral obligation to protect these children, and the time to act is now. Thank you for your attention to this urgent crisis. I'm ready to answer any questions.

The discussion centers around the alarming issue of child trafficking in the U.S., particularly concerning unaccompanied alien children. It is claimed that the government has become complicit in a vast trafficking network, with allegations that children are being released to unvetted sponsors, often linked to criminal activities. Whistleblowers from HHS reveal systemic failures in vetting sponsors, leading to children being placed in dangerous situations. The conversation highlights the role of NGOs and government agencies in facilitating this crisis, with calls for accountability and action to rescue the missing children. The urgency of the situation is emphasized, urging the public to recognize the gravity of the issue and take action to protect vulnerable children from exploitation.

The speaker shows wristbands that cartels force people to wear when crossing the border, highlighting the horrors of trafficking and smuggling. They share a photo of a terrified girl who was later revealed to have been rented by a man. The speaker criticizes the vetting process for children in HHS custody, pointing out that case managers lack training in interviewing traumatized children and evaluating documents. They question the thoroughness of the vetting process, mentioning the use of numbers on children's clothes and arms, and the release of children to sponsors who may be in the country illegally. The speaker challenges the secretary on the use of DNA tests and background checks, citing low percentages. They also mention the suspension of DNA requirements in case files. The speaker expresses concern over the large number of missing children under the secretary's watch.

Millions of migrants, including unaccompanied children, are crossing the US southern border, and the broken immigration system and criminal exploitation are putting children at risk. Four whistleblowers, including federal employees and government contractors, share their experiences at the Pomona Fairgrounds' migrant intake facility in 2021. They reveal that children were being placed with unvetted sponsors, including criminals and traffickers. Contractors like MVM Inc and Maxum Healthcare Services were awarded multimillion-dollar contracts, but there was a lack of organization and training at the facility. The whistleblowers also highlight the failure to address trafficking and violence, with cases of rape and violence being handled in-house instead of involving law enforcement. The government and contractors need to be held accountable for the missing children and the misuse of taxpayer dollars.

An investigation reveals potential issues within the U.S. government's Unaccompanied Children Program. Since 2021, an average of 400 unaccompanied children are allegedly smuggled into the U.S. daily. The Department of Homeland Security announced they have lost track of over 300,000 children. The investigation claims to have discovered dangerous placements, confronted a CIA contractor moving children, and exposed a Florida trafficking network. Children in detention centers allegedly report not knowing their sponsors. MVM, a contractor with ties to intelligence agencies, is allegedly involved in moving children. Some MVM employees reportedly wear masks and hide their faces. Some children allegedly arrive with fake names and are not properly vetted. The investigation highlights cases of children placed with sponsors who exploit them for labor, sometimes beginning as young as five years old. One girl recounts being forced to work by her aunt, becoming homeless, and facing blackmail. Another recounts witnessing the rape and murder of young girls while traveling to the U.S. In Florida, a couple is accused of running a labor trafficking ring, holding debts over children's heads. The investigation concludes that the Biden-Harris administration's border policies contribute to child trafficking.

You testified that every child receives a know your rights presentation, but they are still being exploited by labor traffickers. You do not require sponsors to document their relationship with the child or conduct background checks on all adults in the household. The safety and well-being of children is claimed to be a top priority, but the reality suggests otherwise. The director is questioned about warning the secretary of children being at risk and the alarming number of unaccompanied children in the system. The director's lack of knowledge and failure to address these issues are highlighted, emphasizing the need for better protection of vulnerable children.

Senator Hawley questions Miss Marcos about the treatment of children in the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). He highlights reports of children being exploited for labor and sex trafficking, and criticizes the lack of proper vetting and background checks for sponsors. Senator Hawley also questions Miss Marcos about her communication with the secretary and accuses her of not doing her job effectively. He concludes by expressing concern about the large number of unaccompanied children and the lack of oversight in their care.

Senator Grassley is commended for his efforts to protect vulnerable children and investigate trafficking in the ORR program. Research reveals a market for juvenile organ harvesting and the use of stash houses by cartels to exploit victims. Cartels target migrant children for trafficking into the US. Post-placement protections are inadequate, with instances of missing children. ORR's use of NGO contractors lacks accountability, leading to risks for children. Urgent reform is needed to address exploitation and trafficking in the unaccompanied children program.

A 17 year old migrant died in US custody this week. Child died yesterday in border patrol custody. Migrant children who come to The US without their parents here are working twelve hour shifts or more at factories even though it violates child labor laws. Along the southern border, you see thousands of these wristbands. These are children being sold into sex slavery, and you don't even know what they are. So now approaches a 100,000 children according to public reports. A 100,000 children lost by your department and the Biden administration. lawmakers urging the Biden administration to provide explanations for the disappearance of 85,000 migrant children. Migrant children sold in to labor trafficking and sex trafficking. At least five HHS staff members said they were pushed out after raising concerns about child sick safety.

Children were sent to addresses flagged for sexual abuse without proper vetting. A whistleblower revealed that the Office of Refugee Resettlement repeatedly placed a child identified as a victim of sex trafficking with abusers. During a recent hearing, the secretary admitted they do not verify the legal status of these children, stating that extensive vetting slows down the process. The priority seems to be moving a large number of children quickly, rather than ensuring their safety.

Tax dollars are being used to facilitate the travel of children who may be trafficked for sex or forced into sweatshops. The lack of verification for family members and the absence of rapid DNA testing under the current administration raise concerns. The head official at the border acknowledged the issue when questioned, admitting that children are being sent to potential traffickers. This disturbing revelation highlights the urgent need for action to address the exploitation of vulnerable children.

The speaker testifies about the crisis of 85,000 missing migrant children, alleging they are trafficked through a network starting in their home countries, continuing through the US border, and ending when the ORR delivers them to sponsors, some of whom are criminals who exploit children for income. The speaker volunteered to help the Biden administration with the crisis at the southern border in 2021 as part of Operation Artemis. The speaker personally witnessed vulnerable indigenous children from Guatemala becoming captives, case managers distraught by the children's experiences, and sponsors attempting to sponsor children from multiple sites using multiple addresses.

We have lost track of 500,000 children who had sponsors in this country. We don't know if they are victims of child labor, exploitation, or other crimes. This situation highlights a hypocrisy among those who claim to protect vulnerable individuals, yet overlook these innocent children. My commitment is to support and protect victims of crime, especially children. I am focused on ensuring their safety, and I will not try to convince those who do not understand this priority. The fact remains that we do not know where these 500,000 children are right now.

We have 500,000 children with sponsors in this country that we can't locate. We don't know if they're being subjected to child labor, sexual exploitation, or other crimes. This situation highlights a hypocrisy among those who claim to protect victims, especially innocent children. My commitment is to support and safeguard these vulnerable individuals, and I won't waste time convincing those who don't understand this. My priority has always been safety, and it's alarming that we currently have no idea where these 500,000 children are.

Today, we discuss how the Biden administration's open border policy aids drug and human traffickers. Despite warnings and evidence, little action has been taken to address the issue. Whistleblowers have revealed that unaccompanied migrant children are being handed over to criminals, including sex traffickers. Over 85,000 children are unaccounted for after being apprehended or released to sponsors. The administration's lack of response to these concerns shows neglect and a disregard for the safety of these vulnerable children. Action is needed to prevent further harm.

I recently visited the southern border and spoke with the head of the border guards union. Children are coming over with phone numbers and addresses written on them, but we are not thoroughly checking them. This could be leading them into dangerous situations like prostitution and sweatshops, all funded by American tax dollars.

A whistleblower from Project Veritas exposed child trafficking within the Health and Human Services department. Despite raising concerns about children being placed in unsafe homes, she faced backlash and was investigated. The Texas attorney general is now looking into the issue, with hopes that other states will follow suit. Around 30% of children sent by HHS cannot be located, prompting calls for accountability. The whistleblower thanked others for shedding light on government-funded child trafficking.

The Biden administration's border policies have led to a surge of unaccompanied children, creating opportunities for exploitation. Vulnerable children are being trafficked with taxpayer dollars due to a failure to properly vet sponsors. One interviewee shared that on her journey over the border, people in her group were robbed, several girls including her were raped, and she witnessed the decapitation. Children are not going to their parents but are being trafficked, with government officials complicit. The HHS ORR program is a failure, allowing children to be trafficked on their watch. Over 500,000 children have arrived at the border alone and are funneled through agencies and contractors with little training to protect them. Children are being placed with sponsors with criminal history and gang affiliations. There is a market for juvenile organ harvesting, and cartels rely on gangs to facilitate trafficking within the U.S. Tax dollars are funding child and human trafficking, essentially slavery, sanctioned by the government and NGOs.

We need more resources to address the crisis of unaccompanied migrant children, which has escalated under the Biden administration. Over 526,000 unaccompanied children have crossed the border since 2021, with many released to sponsors without proper vetting, leading to exploitation and trafficking. The Office of Refugee Resettlement's budget for unaccompanied children reached $6.9 billion in 2023, yet significant mismanagement has resulted in tens of thousands of children going missing or being placed in dangerous situations. Reports indicate that many children are forced into labor or unsafe conditions after being released. The administration prioritized speed over safety, failing to protect vulnerable children from further victimization. This situation represents a monumental failure that requires urgent attention and accountability.

Speaker 0 questions Speaker 1 about the whereabouts of unaccompanied children who crossed the border during President Biden's term. Speaker 1 doesn't have the exact figures but promises to provide them later. Speaker 0 then mentions that these children are being trafficked for sex, with estimates suggesting that at least 30% of young women and children are sexually abused during their journey. Speaker 1 doesn't have specific numbers but emphasizes that even one case is too many. They mention that any flagged cases are referred to appropriate authorities within 24 hours. Speaker 0 concludes by expressing concern about the volume of trafficking and the need to end this process that benefits drug cartels at the expense of child sex trafficking.

Senator Hawley questions Miss Marcos about the treatment of children in the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). He highlights reports of children being forced into labor and sex trafficking, and criticizes the lack of proper background checks and home visits for sponsors. Miss Marcos acknowledges these issues but emphasizes the thorough vetting process and the organization's commitment to child safety. The senator accuses ORR of facilitating child trafficking and criticizes their lack of knowledge about the number of children they are in contact with. The conversation becomes heated, with the senator expressing his frustration and disbelief at the situation. The video then transitions to a news report about Chicago police officers accused of having relationships with migrants living at a police station. Finally, a whistleblower testifies about witnessing child trafficking and exploitation within ORR and calls for increased oversight, transparency, and accountability to protect vulnerable children.

I joined HHS ORR to help reunite children with their families but found they were being trafficked due to contractor negligence. Despite reporting cases, children were sent to unsafe places with fake sponsors. Leadership ignored concerns and prioritized speed over safety. Calls to check on children were stopped, and a "strike team" was created to expedite removals, disregarding trafficking warnings. My offers to ensure contract compliance were rejected. This program is a failure, allowing taxpayer-funded child slavery. I urge senators to investigate and demand action to save these exploited children.
