Cherokee Federal - $700 million for services through a no-bid contract for unaccompanied minor children through the DHHS - ORR.
Despite raising case after case of trafficking, HHSORR leadership and the contractor allowed children to be trafficked on their watch and the taxpayers continue to fund it.
Repeatedly, the program prioritized speed over safety,” White said. “HHSORR and Cherokee Federal, the prime contractor, created a ‘strike team’ to remove children faster, ignoring warnings that came from case managers that children were being trafficked.
The entire executive leadership at Health and Human Services knew about it as well as the Office of Inspector General and the HSI, Homeland Security investigative division.
•329 children to an address in Houston, Texas. I think before I left the site that number may have been up to 500-plus. •One case in Florida had over 12 children linked to one sponsor at multiple addresses. •Children were sent to addresses that were abandoned houses or nonexistent in some cases. In Michigan, a child was sent to an open field. •Children have been handed over to sponsors “who have known criminal histories” including gang affiliation.
A federal government agency is using billions of taxpayer dollars to place vulnerable migrant children into the hands of sponsors with criminal history, gang affiliation, to whom many are not even their parents.
At a bare minimum, we should require ORR to follow basic standards and requirements in ensuring that these individuals are who they say they are and that these kids are safe when they’re placed in these homes.
Cherokee Federal received another federal contract to process Afghan refugees even after she and others raised concerns about the vendor’s work processing unaccompanied migrant youth.
The Cherokee Federal brochure states that “37% of the profits from our government contracting programs are distributed back to Cherokee Nation’s general fund,” and says that profit “creates an unrestricted pool of funds” for tribal officials.
Please understand, this is taxpayer-funded child slavery, sanctioned by our government and brought to you by NGOs like Cherokee Federal.
Sodomites have them
So Trump is going to expose them like he exposed the others?
What the heck is ORR? Can’t they just say so I don’t have to ask?
“What the heck is ORR? Can’t they just say so I don’t have to ask?”
You could Google. Quicker than posting ...
This is why they want uncontrolled immigration. Where else are they going to get their victims from? I hate to even speculate privately let alone say aloud what could be happening. I think leftists are all about feelings and if you say to them that the kids are lonely, they will say that the kids need to be with people who will keep them from being lonely. Same with hunger or lack of clothing. Exploiters just need a sob story to get leftists to give them what they want.
No I don’t have to Google anything. I don’t care that much. And if that is the best answer I guess I will go pay attention to some other pressing issue.
If the US only had some sort of department of justice to investigate and prosecute these crimes.
Anyone?

These innocent children are in the hands of drug traffickers and monsterous pedophiles.
These innocent children are in the hands of human traffickers and sexual pedophiles.
Where is catholic charities in this article. I’m a catholic and I know CC isn’t innocent in this but the only place it was mentioned is in the headline. Sounds like catholic bias to me. Why should I trust that the rest of the article is true
Hopefully someone is exposed!
Maybe we need to hire 80K DOJ workers....it takes bodies to investigate/prosecute and there’s so many serious crimes out there it’s insane.
