The Biden administration placed thousands of illegal alien children in the care of unvetted sponsors, according to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley.
The Iowa Republican has released Department of Health and Human Services data showing that during President Joe Biden’s administration, over 11,000 unaccompanied alien children were placed with unvetted sponsors who were not the children’s parents or legal guardians. Additionally, no home visits were conducted for over 79,000 illegal immigrant children.
Moreover, some children were “allowed to be placed with sponsors who were actually smugglers and sex traffickers,” according to the Department of Homeland Security.
“My oversight continues to expose disturbing evidence that the Biden-Harris administration turned a blind eye to tens of thousands of kids who needed proper supervision and care,” Grassley said in a statement.
“It’s appalling to prioritize speed and optics over the safety and well-being of children,” the senator continued.
Grassley requested the HHS data during the Biden administration but did not receive the data until President Donald Trump returned to the White House, according to the senator’s office.
“I appreciate the Trump administration’s efforts to undo the damage caused by the last administration’s failed border policies, and I’ll continue my oversight of the issue to ensure abuse like this never happens again,” Grassley pledged.
According to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which operates under HHS, the office “cared for” 468,000 unaccompanied alien children between October 2020 and September 2024, until they were placed with sponsors. From October 2024 to June 2025, the office cared for over 21,000 unaccompanied alien children.
The largest percentage of children who have entered the U.S. alone and illegally in recent years are from Guatemala and Honduras.

Since Trump returned to the White House, his administration has located over 13,000 children who crossed the border unaccompanied under Biden, the Department of Homeland Security announced in July.
During a recent House Oversight subcommittee hearing, DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari told members of Congress that between fiscal years 2019 and 2023, more than 448,000 unaccompanied alien children were transferred from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody to the custody of HHS.
Among those 448,000 minors, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement failed to issue more than 233,000 notices to appear in immigration court, according to the inspector general. Furthermore, more than 43,000 migrant children who were given a notice to appear in immigration court failed to do so.

It’s far more than that, and Catholic Charities did the hand-offs.
If the media can find horror stories in every deportation of illegals, they could probably find a career’s worth of horror stories to write from these 11,000
I always wonder where child molesters get their victims. Unaccompanied children could be smuggled in and no one would even know they were here. The ones that they know are here are simply “lost” after being given away to anyone who claims to be a relative. The people who work for the government social services agencies are probably swamped, and thrilled that they are placing the children. They probably feel successful but have really no idea where the kids are going. It really seems as if a big part of unmanageable immigration is the opportunity to smuggle in humans especially children that can be exploited. I don’t know if this is actually the case but I don’t really trust the nature of all people to be good and decent.
What was the price per child sex slave?
As long as the Biden admin. pretended to be “compassionate”.
Sounds like a real low number if 400,000 are missing
Perhaps some self reflection ought to be in order before we criticize Putin’s actions in Ukraine.
Hello Melania Trump,
How about a child trafficking issue right here in America
Democrats and liberal Republicans do everything they can to help child abusers:
“You want sex with little kids? Take these and remember who gave them to you!”
To the everlasting shame of the Dems and their voters---if they felt shame for anything.
Your proof to this assertion?
When the Dems were playing up the phony caring about Trump separating children in illegal alien arrests in the first term, there were stories of worried and fearful looks on the faces of little children when asked if the man is their “uncle.” So sad. Who knows the horror of what happened to children sold to monsters around the country.
As part of a 10-month investigation Scripps News uncovered that every year, thousands of migrant children disappear from their homes shortly after arriving in the U.S. But there is no clear local, state or federal government agency taking responsibility for searching for many of these missing ...Apr 2, 2024
This is so bogus-——the kids arent missing, they are loaned out, passed around to other migrants. to be used in lucrative scams to get tax dollars from S/S and hefty disability checks.
Vindictive Biden overturned Trump’s order to get the DNA of these so-called needy families, to make sure the kids are really theirs.
A common practice by these greedy illegals is getting a crooked doctor to say a kid’s autistic b/c they get hefty SS tax paid benefits every month for the kid.
The maximum possible disability benefit for autism in 2024 is $943 per month for SSI and about $3,822 per month for SSDI. These maximums apply regardless of what condition you have or whether you apply with one condition or multiple. The actual amount received depends on specific circumstances. (Dec 7, 2023)
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a key benefit for children under 16 living with disability, including autism. It is assessed according to care needs, and a diagnosis is not required to make a claim. DLA helps cover the extra costs of raising a child with a disability. (Jan 30, 2024)
And it’s a sure bet they invent their “family circumstances.”
Plus senior illegals are draining the system, collecting without working a day here, not having put a dime into the system.
Carlos Arrelano used to work for NGOs (including Catholic Charities) delivering these children throughout the United States.
His full interview is below where he names Catholic Charities.
10% for the big guy. Biden’s sex trafficking business.
The people who work for the government social services agencies are probably swamped, and thrilled that they are placing the children. They probably feel successful but have really no idea where the kids are going.

If the gummit license bureau can get 200 buck for a bogus drivers license, how much do you think an unaccompanied minor would bring?
Where are the other 389,000?
