What happened to the hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied illegal alien children who arrived at the U.S. border during Joe Biden’s tenure on the White House? And before?
A lawsuit has been filed to find out.
It is Judicial Watch that has filed a Freedom of Information case against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to gain access to records about those children.
The case, in federal court in Washington, was filed after DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not respond to an April 26 FOIA request.
The case involves “communications and other records concerning unaccompanied minors coming across our borders,” and cites as document titled “Unaccompanied Alien Children Joint Initiative Field Implementation.”
That document, assembled under the Trump administration, explains how the DHS, ICE and other agencies will work “to locate unaccompanied alien children” encountered by DHS and released from care by the department of Health and Human Services.
Judicial Watch had reported: “The government’s UAC program has for years been rocked by many other problems that have put young migrants at risk, including physical and sexual abuse at U.S.-funded shelters… A [2020] federal audit blasted the agency for failing to protect UAC from sexual misconduct at the facilities. During a six-month period alone, investigators from the HHS Inspector General’s office uncovered more than 750 incidents involving sexual misconduct at dozens of shelters housing minor detainees.”
It was just weeks ago Homeland Security Inspector General Joseph Cuffari testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to confirm “failures to properly track, process, and safeguard nearly 448,000 unaccompanied alien children who entered the United States illegally over the last four years.”
“The Biden administration failed to safeguard hundreds of thousands of illegal alien children it helped traffic into the United States,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Our lawsuit hopefully will get details on this mass human trafficking of alien children under the Biden administration.”
Judicial Watch said it got information back in 2022 “detailing the nighttime transportation of unaccompanied alien children (UAC) by air from Texas to Tennessee, as well as two other flights making multiple stops across the country.”
Even further back, in 2021, Judicial Watch received records from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement which listed 33 separate incidences of alleged sexual abuse in a one-month time period.
And even in 2018, after waiting for three years, Judicial Watch got records containing nearly 1,000 summaries of “Significant Incident Reports” from Health and Human Services revealing that “unaccompanied alien children” processed during the Barack Obama administration included admitted murderers, rapists, drug smugglers, prostitutes, and human traffickers.
