Ladies and gentlemen gather ’round because we’ve got a deeply disturbing story that just can’t be ignored. We’re talking about the Department of Human Services and the horrifying reality of 85,000 missing children who crossed the border illegally as unaccompanied minors. Yes, you heard that right.
These kids, handed over to so-called “sponsors,” are vanishing, and there’s a chilling possibility that many are being trafficked into prostitution or forced labor. This alarming situation was brought to light by brave whistleblowers who laid out the grim details before a Senate panel.
Let’s break it down. Whistleblowers tasked with processing these minors near the border noticed something horrifying. Kids were being handed over to people who clearly weren’t their relatives. And worse, there was evidence of abuse and trafficking. One whistleblower shared how, after alerting her superiors about the abuse, she was retaliated against instead of the issue being addressed. Can you believe that? Rather than protecting the children, she was taken off the job.
Now, let’s talk numbers. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) pointed out that the Biden administration moved 500,000 children to sponsors’ homes as quickly as possible to avoid holding them in secure facilities. Why the rush? To avoid the optics of “kids in cages,” a criticism that haunted the previous administration.
But this hasty process was anything but humane. Many of these kids were sent to strangers, with background checks loosened and oversight limited to a single phone call 30 days later. By then, many children couldn’t be reached and were simply missing.
The Senate panel, led by Senators Grassley, Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana), Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin), and John Cornyn (R-Texas), uncovered devastating details. Tara Lee Rodas, a federal government veteran, volunteered at the border and witnessed countless red flags. She described how a 16-year-old Guatemalan girl, Carmen, was placed with someone posing as her brother. But social media told a different story, showing Carmen in disturbing situations, clearly being exploited. Despite these signs, the system continued to fail these vulnerable children.
Deborah White, another whistleblower, revealed how the agency was woefully unprepared to handle red flags. Children were being trafficked, with taxpayer dollars funding the operations and officials turning a blind eye. Fake documents were rampant, and those who tried to verify them were reprimanded.

HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra’s claim that no children have gone missing from HHS custody is technically correct but misleading. When a child is handed over to a sponsor, they’re no longer in HHS custody. So, when these children disappear from sponsors’ homes, they’re not counted as missing by HHS.
The Biden administration’s program, touted as reuniting children with their parents, often places them with people they don’t know. Sponsors aren’t thoroughly vetted, and many children end up in dangerous situations. In one case, a man bought a baby for just $84. Senators have repeatedly implored the administration to tighten these lax regulations, but their pleas have been ignored.
Yep spread the word.

Sen. Johnson summed it up, saying that the administration’s open-border policies are fueling a multi-billion-dollar human trafficking industry. The call to action is clear: We must demand accountability and protection for these vulnerable children before more lives are shattered.
