Whistleblower tells Congress that govt is delivering migrant children to human traffickers

A whistleblower told a House subcommittee on Wednesday about the horrors of child migrant exploitation at the border and called for Congress to act to tackle the crisis.

Rodas, who was detailed with Health and Human Services at an Emergency Intake Site in Pomona, California, told lawmakers about what she experienced on the ground.  Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

"I thought I was going to help place children in loving homes. Instead, I discovered that children are being trafficked through a sophisticated network that begins with recruiting in their home country, smuggled to the U.S. border, and ends when [Office of Refugee Resettlement] delivers a child to a sponsor – some sponsors are criminals and traffickers and members of Transnational Criminal Organizations. Some sponsors view children as commodities and assets to be used for earning income – this is why we are witnessing an explosion of labor trafficking," Rodas said.
