Would be nice if the article told us how the trafficing took place rather than leaving the key facts to our imagination.

Excerpt-—While human trafficking has long been a problem in our country, this heinous crime became even more pervasive under the Biden administration, which for four years surrendered our southern border to cartels, criminals, and traffickers. As a result, every state became a border state—and suffered the tragic consequences.

Just this month, authorities charged eight Venezuelan illegal aliens in Middle Tennessee for trafficking women across our border to be sexually exploited. The illegals, who conducted their criminal operation out of Nashville motels between 2022 and 2024, are tied to the violent gang Tren de Aragua, which has plagued cities across the country with rampant crime.

Tragically, all too often the victims of these traffickers are defenseless children. According to TBI data, there were 514 reports of minors being sex trafficked in Tennessee in 2024, more than twice the number of reports of adult sex trafficking. The report also notes that there has been an increase in the number of unaccompanied minors who are trafficked into our country and exploited.

This should come as no surprise: Under Biden, hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children reached our southern border, while many more arrived with adults who falsely claimed to be their relatives. Although the then-President had a responsibility to place these children with vetted sponsors, his administration lost track of more than 320,000 migrant children who face the threat of abuse, trafficking, and sexual exploitation.

Anyone surprised that Pedo Pete was running a sex slavery operation?

Didn’t think so.

Agreed 100%.

I think RFK just confirmed that the Biden admin didn’t “lose track” of those children.
They were placing them ... in makeshift brothels across the country.

Pedo Pete was Hunter Biden’s nickname for Joe Biden.

Hope so.

Some children each year in the border crossing have been “lost” and others looked afraid to contradict the “uncle” or other relative bringing them into the US who may have been paid a fee by a trafficking group. With the millions of getaways and others and the refusal to back up the overworked agents there was no way to track each child. A perfect opportunity for a disaster.

The system in place to protect children was overwhelmed by sheer numbers so vetting was impossible. People crossing with children could not be verified as parents, many arrived with no adult claiming to be responsible for them. People were allowed to take children out of the system also without verification. Many of the children cannot be located now.

The system being overwhelmed also allowed TDA, MS13, and countless other serious criminals to come in and stay.

In my opinion the huge numbers of illegals that were allowed to flow into this country was done to deliberately overwhelm the system.

Imagine a huge daycare that allowed anyone to drop off children, and allowed anyone to pick them up.

Totally agree. I have always believed such. It goes very deep. I do hope there are arrests and names are released. Still waiting on the Epstein list!

Not only. But it is one purpose. Much of our deep state is partnered with the same cartels that control so many Latin American governments.

HHS, DOJ Move to End Sexual Abuse and Harassment of Unaccompanied Alien Children in Shelters Operated by Southwest Key Programs

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced today that it has stopped placement of unaccompanied alien children in shelters operated by Southwest Key Programs, Inc. (Southwest Key) and has moved all children there to other shelters.
“This administration is working fearlessly to end the tragedy of human trafficking and other abuses of unaccompanied alien children who enter the country illegally,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “For too long, pernicious actors have exploited such children both before and after they enter the United States. Today’s action is a significant step toward ending this appalling abuse of innocents.”
Southwest Key has operated 27 residential shelters that provide temporary living arrangements for unaccompanied alien children in Texas, Arizona, and California, and has been the largest provider for such shelters for unaccompanied alien children in the United States. Southwest Key operates such shelters through grants from the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement. Unaccompanied alien children are minors who enter the United States without parents or other legal guardians and without lawful immigration status in the United States.
In July 2024, the Department of Justice filed a civil lawsuit against Southwest Key, alleging that it had, through its employees, subjected unaccompanied alien children in its care to unlawful sexual harassment and abuse. Out of continuing concerns relating to these placements, HHS has decided to stop placement of unaccompanied alien children in Southwest Key facilities, and to review its grants with the organization. ***In view of HHS’ action, the Department of Justice has dismissed its lawsuit against Southwest Key.***
“Securing our border and protecting children from abuse are among the most critical missions of the Department of Justice and the Trump administration,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Under the border policies of the previous administration, bad actors were incentivized to exploit children and break our laws: this ends now.”

Why did they drop the lawsuit against Southwest Key? And why did the government just send emails to Southwest Key employees in Brownsville that they would be returning April 24 to the Casa Padre facility to receive additional training and go back to work?

I doubt he’s joined the GOP but the entire Democratic Party and especially his own family now hates him even more then they hate Trump.
