Obama administration placed children with human traffickers, report says

The Obama administration failed to protect thousands of Central American children who have flooded across the U.S. border since 2011, leaving them vulnerable to traffickers and to abuses at the hands of government-approved caretakers, a Senate investigation has found.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services, failed to do proper background checks of adults who claimed the children, allowed sponsors to take custody of multiple unrelated children, and regularly placed children in homes without visiting the locations, according to a 56-page investigative report released Thursday.

And once the children left federally funded shelters, the report said, the agency permitted their adult sponsors to prevent caseworkers from providing them post-release services.

Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) initiated the six-month investigation after several Guatemalan teens were found in a dilapidated trailer park near Marion, Ohio, where they were being held captive by traffickers and forced to work at a local egg farm. The boys were among more than 125,000 unaccompanied minors who have surged into the United States since 2011, fleeing violence and unrest in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

“It is intolerable that human trafficking — modern-day slavery — could occur in our own backyard,” Portman said in a written statement. “What makes the Marion cases even more alarming is that a U.S. government agency was responsible for delivering some of the victims into the hands of their abusers.”

Well- since the rats are all up in arms over human trafficking, I though it be good to remind everyone of the past

I’d wager if they investigated the BidenIdiot Regime, they would find the same thing....

[OttawaFreeper]

Surprised that INGSOC-Washington Post actually discussed something like this.

[God luvs America]

So they are admitting illegals are trash.

Obama may have placed children with human traffickers, but Biden, Harris and Mayorkas are working for the human traffickers, ensuring that the cartels are making more money in their history.

I wonder what their (Biden, Harris and Mayorkas) cut is from the cartels?

IIRC, 60k unaccompanied children were missing. They sure went overboard to ensure the unaccompanied minors were admitted and fought like hell for them to come here ... for some reason...

Proves why the democrat party is intolerable every move they make is dangerous deadly and expensive and take years to clean it up if at all.

Broken windows and weeds growing everywhere, the red brick façades now covered with graffiti, Memory Lane real estate in that subdivision is nothing but severely distressed properties both then and now.

Why would anyone want to live there?
