U.S. Is "Middleman" In Billion-Dollar Child Trafficking Op: Whistleblower -  The Maine Wire

By Jack Davis

The Biden administration is a partner in a massive child trafficking operation that preys on children crossing America’s southern border, according to witnesses who will present their case to Congress.

On Wednesday a subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee will hear testimony about what happens to unaccompanied children after they crowd the border, according to Fox News.

Tara Lee Rodas, a whistleblower who formerly worked in the inspector general’s office at the Department of Health and Human Services, said children are placed where they do not belong.

“Whether intentional or not, it can be argued that the U.S. Government has become the middleman in a large scale, multi-billion-dollar child trafficking operation run by bad actors seeking to profit off the lives of children,” her prepared testimony said.

“Today, children will work overnight shifts at slaughterhouses, factories, restaurants to pay their debts to smugglers and traffickers. Today, children will be sold for sex.”

Rodas said she volunteered at an intake site to help the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement identify sponsors for children who enter the U.S. illegally.

“I thought I was going to help place children in loving homes. Instead, I discovered that children are being trafficked through a sophisticated network that begins with being recruited in their home country, smuggled to the U.S. border, and ends when ORR delivers a child to a sponsor — some sponsors are criminals and traffickers and members of Transnational Criminal Organizations. Some sponsors view children as commodities and assets to be used for earning income — this is why we are witnessing an explosion of labor trafficking,” Rodas wrote in her prepared testimony.

Customs and Border Protection statistics show that unaccompanied children at the border rose from 33,239 in the 2020 fiscal year to more than 146,000 in fiscal year 2021 and 152,000 in fiscal year 2022. In theory, children are put in the custody of HHS and then connected with a sponsor. However, in February, a report in The New York Times said the Biden administration had lost track of about 85,000 children.

Sheena Rodriguez, founder and president of Alliance for a Safe Texas, who will testify Wednesday, said drug cartels in Mexico transport children into the U.S., according to Fox.
