A human trafficking expert railed against the Biden-Harris administration on Capitol Hill Tuesday for losing track of more than 320,000 migrant children, sharing a horrific tale of one girl’s abuse as an example of the “dangerous loopholes” that have led to widespread exploitation.
Alicia Hopper, who has provided oversight to non-governmental groups and other organizations being exploited by human traffickers for sex or forced labor, told members of the House Homeland Security Committee that federal agencies tasked with securing the border have instead turned it into “a trafficking pipeline.”
“As a Hispanic mother, this crisis is deeply personal to me,” said Hopper, who consults for Sadulski Enterprises, LLC. “The very system meant to protect vulnerable children has become a trafficking pipeline.”
“A young girl who arrived at the border in the custody of individuals claiming to be her family was bruised, disoriented and in pain,” she recounted. “Medical examinations revealed that she had been raped, yet she was sent back to her abusers because no verification was done to confirm her guardianship.”
“This is not an isolated case,” Hopper added, “but a glaring error of the system leaving children in the hands of those who exploit them.”
Under President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, more than 529,000 migrant children have entered the US, according to Customs and Border Protection data.
As many as 291,000 were loose in the country’s interior as of May 2024 and had not been given a date to appear in immigration court –giving federal authorities no way to track their whereabouts, a shocking Department of Homeland Security watchdog report revealed in August.

Come on. If there’s 300k of them out there why do we only have one example? Even conservatives in law enforcement could come up with more than one. We need a whole bunch of these discoveries to acknowledge there’s an unattended problem.
Probably because most of them are dead.
The deportation saga will not be for the faint of heart. And we have a whole mess of those RINOS residing right now in the DC swamp. I really don’t think Trump will be able to pull that one through….hindering lawsuits and protests and the cartel involvement. So buckle up it’s going to get right down nasty! I even think that our military will not want to get involved. Count on death threats etc coming after his administration. Remember we’re dealing with violent evil criminals who have come across our porous border. There’s a reason why the other nations decided to clear out their prisons and help them come into our nation. These are hardened murderous don’t give a damn souless criminals
I heard that over 300 children had been released to a single address.
Remember the movie, Sound of Freedom about sex trafficking this summer? The powers that be turned it into a nothing burger and many theaters refused to show it.
That, the media denying it( including Biden’s dementia) and border patrol with non disclosures you get silence or “misinformation.”
Same goes for Hollywood and they’re big pedo stuff. I’d suggest people high up in our political sphere are blackmailed and strong-armed into silence.
Some are encouraging as evidenced by border patrool saying the cartels own the border. Mayorkas says this is a safe border.
Wait awhile. I think there will be horrendous stories soon.
Whatever happened to “If it saves just one child?”
What are these so-called “dangerous loopholes” that the law somehow doesn’t cover (because that’s what “loophole” means)?
A bug or a feature? I often have wondered if the immigration crisis is a cover for getting humans to traffic. When evil abounds there is almost no limit to its variety
