Witnesses tell House Homeland Security about the inhumane conditions faced by unaccompanied migrant children

More than half a million children have entered the United States without parents and been sent by the U.S. government to live with “sponsors” in recent years .

A human trafficking expert, a former high-ranking official at an unaccompanied minor site, and a retired border patrol agent testified before the House Homeland Security panel.

Bishop: "The Biden administration was so focused on moving people through the system as fast as possible that they failed to ensure the safety of the children they were releasing,” he said.

“Many of these children already suffered at the hands of criminal cartels on that treacherous journey to the border, only to find themselves exploited again after being released from government custody, he said. “This impossible-to-understand bad judgment is simply heartbreaking and tragic.”.
