The Biden administration thought they could hide their border crimes forever.
But President Trump’s team just blew the lid off one of the most horrific scandals in American history.
And Trump just caught Biden red-handed in one child trafficking scandal that left jaws on the floor.
Trump’s DHS Exposes Biden’s Child Trafficking Network
President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security just dropped a bombshell that should land Joe Biden and his cronies in federal prison.
The Trump administration revealed that Biden’s open border policies led to 300,000 migrant children being "lost or placed with unvetted sponsors" – and they’re working through 59,000 backlogged reports to find kids who may have been handed over to human traffickers.¹
Trump’s Department of Homeland Security has already found 13,000 of these missing children, but the scope of Biden’s child trafficking network is staggering.
Former acting ICE Director Jonathan Fahey didn’t mince words when he told Fox News Digital exactly what Biden’s policies enabled.
"It just shows how unconscionable the previous administration was on the immigration issue," Fahey stated.²
Here’s what makes this scandal even more disgusting – Biden’s people knew exactly what they were doing.
The Biden Administration Handed Kids to Predators
The process for vetting sponsors is simple, but Biden’s administration deliberately ignored basic safety protocols.
Fahey explained what should have happened under normal circumstances.
"What it could look like and normally would look like is if somebody is an unaccompanied minor and they’re being sent to, there’s somebody that’s a sponsor for them, they should be vetting the sponsor, making sure the sponsor is who they say they are, and also having some sort of follow up to make sure they’re going where they say their going and things like that," Fahey said.³
But Biden’s team threw those safeguards out the window.
They were so desperate to process as many illegal aliens as possible that they handed vulnerable children over to complete strangers without doing basic background checks.
The result? Thousands of kids disappeared into a nightmare of exploitation and abuse.
DHS reports show they’ve worked through over 59,000 backlogged cases, including thousands of "leads" regarding criminal activity.⁴
Translation: Biden’s administration created a pipeline that fed children directly to predators and sex traffickers.
Trump’s Solution Is Already Working
President Trump didn’t waste time wringing his hands about Biden’s disaster – he immediately got to work fixing it.
The Trump-backed government spending bill includes funding for 10,000 more ICE agents, and the administration launched an aggressive recruitment campaign offering $50,000 signing bonuses.⁵
Fahey praised Trump’s approach and explained why more resources will lead to more rescued children.
"Because right now, as you know, ICE, even though they’re working their butts off and highly motivated and mission-focused and everything else, they still need more resources to really track things down and find victims and find bad actors and things like that. So I think [the locating of children] will go up a lot," Fahey explained.⁶
The difference between Trump and Biden couldn’t be more stark.
Biden created the problem by dismantling border security and ignoring child safety protocols.
Trump is solving the problem by securing the border and giving law enforcement the tools they need to rescue trafficked children.
Biden’s Border Policies Were Designed to Enable Trafficking
The timing here isn’t coincidental.
Biden knew his open border policies would create a humanitarian crisis, but he pushed forward anyway because it served his political agenda.
Fahey pointed out how Trump’s border security efforts are making it easier to focus on interior enforcement.
"The other part that will help is because the border now, I don’t want to say completely shut down, but almost shut down. There’s relatively few new people getting through, you know. And anyone getting caught is not being released," Fahey noted.⁷
"You’re limiting the incoming, so you are able to deal with the interior, I think, a lot more effectively," he added.⁸
This is exactly the kind of strategic thinking that was completely absent during the Biden years.
Instead of processing endless waves of illegal crossings, Trump’s ICE agents can now focus on tracking down the children Biden’s administration lost to traffickers.
The Full Scope of Biden’s Crime Against Children
The numbers tell the real story here.
300,000 children lost or placed with unvetted sponsors.
59,000 backlogged reports that had to be worked through.
Thousands of criminal leads discovered during the investigation.
This wasn’t an accident or bureaucratic incompetence – this was a deliberate policy choice that prioritized political optics over child safety.
Biden and his administration officials should be held criminally responsible for enabling one of the largest child trafficking operations in American history.
The fact that Trump’s team found 13,000 of these kids in just a few months shows how quickly problems can be solved when you have leadership that actually cares about protecting children.
DHS reports that numerous busts have already occurred, including during Homeland Security Investigations’ worksite enforcement and welfare checks at homes.⁹
Every child rescued represents a life saved from unimaginable horror – and a damning indictment of Biden’s criminal negligence.
President Trump promised to drain the swamp and protect America’s children.
He’s delivering on both promises while exposing the full extent of Biden’s betrayal of the most vulnerable people in our society.
