Republican Senator Josh Hawley has accused the Biden Administration of allowing the largest child trafficking ring in American history to flourish. He revealed that Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) are being sold into sex slavery after they are released into the country. Hawley questioned Robin Dunn Marcos, director for the Office of Refugee Resettlement, about the surge in child trafficking under Biden’s watch. Shockingly, the Department of Health and Human Services has lost contact with at least 85,000 children after they were released to “adult sponsors.”
Hawley demanded answers from Marcos, asking how many of the approximately 430,000 unaccompanied children crossing the border are currently being monitored. Marcos initially evaded the question, but later admitted to not having the specific numbers. Hawley expressed his disbelief and called on Marcos to fulfill his duty to prevent the release of children to human traffickers. He criticized Marcos for not knowing the extent of background checks conducted on adult sponsors and questioned the lack of home visits to ensure the well-being of the children.
MUST WATCH: Officials from Biden's State Dept and Dept of Homeland Security have absolutely no idea how many illegal immigrants have entered the country, how many were children, how many are still here, or how many have claimed asylum. pic.twitter.com/UhfNQyUVpf

During the hearing, it became clear that Biden officials are clueless about the missing migrant children and the child trafficking epidemic that Hawley has been shedding light on. In a separate event, former President Donald Trump, who has vowed to reinstate Title 42 to combat child trafficking if reelected in 2024, emphasized the importance of protecting trafficked children. Tim Ballard, the inspiration behind the movie “Sound of Freedom” and a former Homeland Security agent, has also demanded answers from the Biden administration regarding the whereabouts of the 85,000 missing migrant children.
So far, around 345,000 unaccompanied minors have crossed the border since 2021, with approximately 85,000 of them losing contact with federal officials, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. The Biden Administration’s lax border policies have put the lives of these children at risk, making the need for accountability crucial. It is clear that the Biden Administration’s failure to address this crisis is endangering the lives of innocent children, and stronger actions must be taken to protect them from the horrors of child trafficking.
