.HawleyMO urges Wray to make tackling child migrant trafficking crisis a ‘leading FBI priority’
March 28, 2023: Sen. Josh Hawley grills Secretary Mayorkas on the CBP One app at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
According to Customs and Border Protection statistics, the number of unaccompanied alien children who arrive at the border has swelled from 33,239 in fiscal year 2020 to more than 146,000 in fiscal year 2021 and 152,000 in fiscal year 2022. So far in fiscal year 2023, there have been more than 70,000 encounters of UACs.
When child migrants are encountered at the border, they are transferred into the custody of HHS and then united with a sponsor — typically a parent or family member already in the U.S. But whistleblowers and media outlets have detailed how sponsors are gaming the system to move children into the workforce and have them pay back their debts to the smugglers. The Times reported how HHS was unable to contact approximately 85,000 minors who had been reunited with their sponsors.
