A top official from the Biden-Harris administration was recently subpoenaed by Congress for information regarding the administration’s “failure” to appoint sponsors for roughly 291, 000 unaccompanied alien children ( UACs ) who have n’t been identified by federal immigration authorities.
In a Monday press release, House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark E. Green (R-Tenn. )  , announced that Health and Human Services , Secretary , Xavier Becerra had been subpoenaed due to the” Biden-Harris administration ‘s , failure to respond and comply with Committee requests for documents and information” regarding the department’s “handling of UACs and those applying to be sponsors of this vulnerable population” . ,  ,
Green claimed that after the committee requested documents regarding UACs, the Department of Health and Human Services delivered 700 records “wholly indifferent” to the agency’s demand.
The Department of Homeland Security Inspector General reported earlier this year that the Department of Health and Human Services had transferred more than 448, 000 UACs to the Department of Health and Human Services from Fiscal Year 2019 to Fiscal Year 2023. But, 291, 000 of the UACs were omitted from the notice period, making it difficult to monitor the illegal immigrant babies.

The Inspector General , report , noted,” Although we identified more than 32, 000 Uc who did not appear for their immigration judge times, that number may have been many larger had ICE issued NTAs to the more than 291, 000 Workability who were not placed into treatment trials. By no issuing NTAs to all UCs, ICE reduces the chances of speaking with Workability when they are released from HHS’s care, which lessens the chance of confirming their health. Without an ability to monitor the site and rank of UCs, ICE has no confidence UCs are protected from smuggling, oppression, or forced work”.
In Monday’s press release, Green claimed that nearly 520, 000 UACs have been encountered on the southern boundary since February of 2021 with over 291, 000 of them probably unaccounted for. Green remarked that the children of illegal immigrant immigrants “remain defenseless as victims of the unthinkable and horrifying horrors of baby trafficking.” Green added,” The need of this topic related to the youngest among us requirements swift , alternatives based in information and information”.
It was recently reported that the Department of Health and Human Services had never properly vetted child donors and had sent UACs to the homes of people with workers criminals and persons with criminal histories, according to The Post Millennial.
A department spokesperson stated following the committee’s most recent subpoena that” HHS worked in good faith to provide hundreds of pages of documents while repeatedly telling the Committee that it is continuing to work on its request.”
