Children shared harrowing experiences, including being separated from parents at the border. Some were as young as three, relying on others for basic care. Reports of sexual assault in facilities raised concerns, but there was no clear protocol for handling such cases. A significant number of children were processed and placed with sponsors, yet follow-up wellness calls by HHS were reportedly never conducted. This lack of oversight contributed to the alarming number of missing children, with inadequate documentation accepted for placements. There were instances of children being released to individuals with questionable backgrounds, raising serious safety concerns. The situation has led to calls for accountability for those responsible for these failures.

Good afternoon. This joint hearing focuses on the trafficking, exploitation, and missing unaccompanied children at the Southwest border. We are examining how current border policies have allowed dangerous cartels and traffickers to exploit vulnerable children. The number of unaccompanied minors arriving has surged, with nearly 530,000 encounters under the Biden administration, compared to less than half that during the Trump administration. Many children arrive with no clear family connections, often appearing drugged. The administration claims to have humanitarian policies, yet these situations reflect a failure to protect these children. Agencies like CBP, ICE, and HHS are overwhelmed and unable to properly vet sponsors, leading to over 85,000 children reported lost. This is unacceptable, and we must address human trafficking and ensure the safety of these children. Thank you to our witnesses for being here today.

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.

The speaker states the U.S. federal government is the world's largest child sex trafficking organization. They claim that under President Biden's open border policies, the U.S. has experienced the largest mass invasion in history, costing hundreds of billions of dollars and resulting in a significant demographic shift. The speaker asserts that Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas intentionally weaponized illegal immigration to transform America, leading to a surge in child trafficking. They state that over 550,000 unaccompanied alien children (UACs) will have been lost by the end of the current administration, compared to 30,557 UACs accounted for during President Trump's last year. The speaker claims that HHS and ORR admitted to losing contact with over 85,000 UACs in 2023, a number that an inspector general later revised to over 320,000. They allege that DHS, HHS, and ORR created policies to expedite the movement of UACs to unvetted sponsors, resulting in children disappearing into labor and sex trafficking. The speaker's research indicates the federal government knowingly facilitated these criminal acts.

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.

The United States federal government is implicated as the largest child sex trafficking organization in modern history, exacerbated by open border policies under President Biden. After 24 years in the Border Patrol, I witnessed a drastic shift in immigration policy that led to a surge in unaccompanied alien children (UACs). In Biden's first year, 147,975 UACs were arrested, with over 85,000 subsequently lost, and later reports indicated that the number may exceed 320,000. Agencies like DHS and HHS failed to address this crisis, instead facilitating the movement of UACs to unvetted sponsors, leading to their disappearance into trafficking networks. My documentary, "What is Treason Traffic," reveals the federal government's complicity in these heinous acts through interviews with various officials and whistleblowers.

Venezuelan gangs are exploiting children in migrant camps, with undocumented kids as young as 11 committing crimes like robberies and assaults. This situation stems from policies by the Biden administration and the radical Democrats, leading to these children becoming victims of modern-day slavery for drug cartels and gangs. The administration's decision to stop DNA testing at the southern border has made it difficult to verify the relationships between adults and the children they accompany, raising concerns about their safety. The focus should be on caring for these vulnerable kids and repatriating them to their families, while swiftly addressing the adults who have entered the country illegally.

The speaker asserts that the United States federal government is the world’s largest child sex trafficking organization in modern history, stating that thousands of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) are being raped at this very moment. He is a retired Border Patrol deputy patrol agent in charge in the San Diego sector, with 24 years of service, who worked under five presidents and says only one president secured the border: Donald Trump. He contrasts the border era under President Joe Biden as the opposite, describing Biden’s first day as the start of 94 executive orders that cascaded from Washington, obliterating immigration policy that had secured the border. He claims Biden, through Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, created policy out of thin air, ignored federal immigration law, and facilitated “the largest mass invasion into America that the world has ever seen.” The speaker contends that the United States will spend hundreds of billions of dollars in four years to fund the needs of over 50,000,000 illegal aliens who populate the nation, and that “between one in six and one in seven residents in America is an illegal alien,” describing the demographic shift as the greatest in modern history. After his Border Patrol career, he wrote a bestselling book titled The intentional destruction of American immigration system and produced two documentaries. He asserts that Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas intentionally, strategically, and purposely weaponized illegal immigration as a tool to transform America, and that within this invasion, the unspoken evil of child trafficking—specifically child sex trafficking—has flourished. He projects that by the end of this administration, the number of trafficked children will have grown to over 550,000 UACs. He notes that these children are arrested, released into America, and then lost. To illustrate, he contrasts CBP data: in Trump’s last year, CBP arrested 30,557 UACs who were accounted for and not lost; in Biden’s first year, CBP arrested 147,975 UACs, most of which are unaccompanied and lost. In 2023, Health and Human Services officials Javier Bacera and Robin Marcos are said to have admitted that their agency had no contact with over 85,000 UACs. He asserts that DHS, HHS, and ORR did nothing to correct this humanitarian disaster; instead, they created policies to increase the efficiency of moving UACs from the border to the interior of the United States to unknown and unbonded sponsors, with unaccompanied alien children being handed off to total strangers. A year later, the inspector general overseeing DHS released a report stating the number of lost UACs was not 85,000 but over 320,000. The speaker and his business partner, Ryan Matt, spent six months traveling across America filming a documentary titled “What Is Treason Trafficked?” through which they spoke with officers, agents, and whistleblowers from various agencies. They say the federal government knowingly and actively facilitated these criminal acts.

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 United States federal government is described as the largest child sex trafficking organization in modern history, particularly under President Biden's administration. After 24 years in the Border Patrol, it’s clear that Biden's policies have led to a significant increase in unaccompanied alien children (UACs) being lost and vulnerable to trafficking. In Biden's first year, 147,975 UACs were arrested, with many going unaccounted for. By 2023, over 85,000 UACs were reported lost, a number later revised to over 320,000. Agencies responsible for their welfare failed to take corrective actions, instead facilitating their transfer to unknown sponsors. A documentary titled "What is Treason: Trafficked" reveals the government's complicity in these crimes through interviews with various officials and whistleblowers.

Children arriving at the border with questionable guardians are not verified. Taxpayers fund their travel and necessities, potentially aiding traffickers. Officials admit to knowingly sending children into sex trafficking or sweatshops. The lack of DNA testing raises concerns about child safety.

Human trafficking is a severe humanitarian crisis affecting men, women, and children, particularly at the US-Mexico border. Many migrants suffer unimaginable abuse at the hands of cartels, with evidence of assaults found along border paths. Traffickers erase identities to smuggle children under false names, and recent reports show that 324,000 unaccompanied children are unaccounted for due to policies prioritizing speed over safety. This has resulted in children being placed with unvetted sponsors, increasing their risk of exploitation. Oversight failures in NGOs caring for these children have also been exposed, with cases of abuse and neglect. Trafficking includes horrific acts like organ harvesting, targeting vulnerable migrants. Urgent action is needed: designate cartels as terrorist organizations, reinstate DNA testing, and hold accountable those responsible for protecting these children. The future of these children relies on immediate and decisive action.

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 appreciate the opportunity to address the issue of child trafficking exacerbated by current border policies. After 24 years in the Border Patrol, I witnessed the shift from secure borders under President Trump to the chaos under President Biden, who dismantled effective immigration policies on his first day. This has led to a surge in unaccompanied alien children (UACs), with over 550,000 expected to be lost by the end of this administration. In contrast, during Trump's last year, only 30,557 UACs were accounted for. The federal government has failed to track these children, with over 320,000 reported missing. My documentary reveals that the government is complicit in facilitating child sex trafficking. Immediate actions are needed: seal the borders, locate lost UACs, and investigate all agencies involved. The deliberate opening of borders constitutes treason. I welcome any questions to clarify these points.

What the Biden administration did with respect to child trafficking is one of the great crimes in human history. Over 500,000 children were illegally trafficked into the country under the previous administration. When we've gone and looked for these children, Martha, the addresses that the US government provided, in other words, the records that the government kept under Joe Biden, are all fake. Nobody ever checked if the addresses were real. Nobody ever checked if the sponsors were real. Nobody ever checked if they were really even relatives or parents or relations or safe. We we recently recovered a a young illegal alien, for example, who had been raped repeatedly by the adult male that the Biden administration handed to her. She was under constant video surveillance and was coached exactly what to say if an officer ever knocked on her door so that she would never be rescued.

As the Florida Department of Children and Families Secretary, my priority is the safety of Florida's youth. The Biden administration's border policies have led to a surge in illegal crossings, putting unaccompanied children at risk of exploitation. Florida, under Governor Ron DeSantis, is taking action to combat human trafficking and protect these vulnerable children. The lack of transparency from the federal government has allowed for abuse and trafficking of minors. Governor DeSantis has implemented strong anti-illegal immigration laws, resulting in a significant decrease in funding spent on illegal immigrants. We urge Congress to hold the Office of Refugee Resettlement accountable and demand greater oversight. Thank you.

545 children is compared to an entire dairy aisle to emphasize the number. Some people haven't made up their minds and may still vote for him. Perhaps we feel too guilty to understand the magnitude of the crime and our responsibility. Lawmakers are urging the Biden administration to provide explanations for the disappearance of 85,000 migrant children. Public reports indicate that the number of children lost by the department in the Biden administration is approaching 100,000. These migrant children are allegedly being sold into labor and sex trafficking. The Biden administration's policies are said to be enabling a child labor and sex trafficking problem.

85,000 children who crossed the border are missing. The current administration has taken no action to locate them. President Biden's refusal to address this issue is a danger to the safety of our country and the families seeking refuge.

These are two IDs from young children. Since the Biden administration's policies have allowed up to 20 million people to cross the border, there are now 400,000 missing children. The situation raises serious concerns about their safety, particularly regarding potential involvement in sex trafficking. This issue is critical and needs urgent attention, as it does not reflect the values of America.

President Biden is being criticized for his handling of the situation with unaccompanied children at the border. Critics argue that his administration has failed to secure the border and protect these children. There has been a significant increase in the number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border, and the policy choices of the Biden administration are seen as contributing to this issue. Concerns have been raised about the treatment of these children, with allegations of forced labor and trafficking. The administration is being questioned about the whereabouts of over 80,000 children. It is argued that the current policies incentivize illegal immigration and put children at risk. The need for action and a change in policy is emphasized to protect these vulnerable children.

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.

The speaker stated to the committee that the Biden administration let unaccompanied minors into the country without keeping track of them. The administration provided these children with a hotline to call if they had trouble with their sponsor families. The speaker claimed that 65,000 calls to this hotline, which was designated to protect these children, went unanswered.

Over 500,000 unaccompanied migrant children have been encountered at the southern border since the Biden administration began. Many of these children have been lost in the system, with over 85,000 reported out of contact after being released to sponsors. Concerns about their safety have risen, as some have fallen victim to labor exploitation and trafficking. Overcrowded detention facilities have led to poor living conditions, and children are sometimes released without thorough background checks. Advocacy groups warn of the risks these children face, including human trafficking. Critics argue that the lack of clear immigration policies has contributed to this crisis. The need for accountability and effective oversight is urgent, as many children remain unaccounted for. The situation highlights a significant humanitarian crisis that demands immediate attention and action from policymakers.

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.
