🚨 3 YEARS AGO TODAY 🚨
@DHSAaron exposed how Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) were “sponsoring” migrant children to traffic & exploit them.

I was at the Pomona Fairplex when @JamesOKeefeIII dropped the bombshell story

@DHSAaron 's expert analysis was CORRECT! Within 2 weeks, we confirmed gang members were "sponsoring" children 😳

An MS-13 affiliate was “sponsored” TWO children—
• 1 from the Pomona EIS
• 1 from the Fort Bliss EIS

I issued a DO NOT RELEASE order. HHS ignored it.Image

🚨HAPPENING TOMORROW: 7/23/25🚨
@DHSOIG Inspector General Joseph Cuffari will testify before Congress about the missing migrant children‼️

What he uncovered is shocking & heartbreaking💔

Here’s what you need to know ⬇️

🧵Image 1/
 Between 2019–2023, ICE transferred over 448,000 unaccompanied children to HHS.

But @DHSOIG found that over 31,000 had missing or incorrect sponsor addresses — including some that didn’t even exist.

This puts kids at extreme risk.

@GolfingFrogs 2/ Background.

Remarks during a 2016 Congressional Hearing by Senator Rob Portman. Portman highlighted how children were trafficked on an egg farm in Marion, Ohio.

This is stunning. This is still going on today.

@GolfingFrogs 3/ Background

On August 21, 2021, a brave DHS Whistleblower, @called_out_DHS, exposed how 18th Street Gang & other Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) were "sponsoring" children 😳

🛠️ Happy Labor Day, a day we celebrate the hard work that built our nation. Yet, as we rest, let's remember the children who can't - those trapped in the horrors of labor trafficking and sex trafficking. 💔 Children deserve freedom, not chains.

🧵 While many enjoy a day off, thousands of children are forced into labor, deprived of their childhood. We must raise our voices for them!

Today, children will be sold for sex. 💔
Today, children will work grueling shifts in slaughterhouses and factories. 💔

1/6: Dept of Labor is seeing an increase in child labor, "including allowing minors (as young as 10) to operate equipment or handle types of work that endangers them." We must stop child trafficking at HHS. HHS is the root of the child labor explosion! dol.gov/newsroom/relea… 2/6: HHS is creating a victim population of children with no access to law enforcement or knowledge of their rights. This crisis is fueled by failed policies at HHS! We must stop child trafficking at HHS! Image
