**Scandal: Biden Administration Puts Migrant Children at Risk with Unvetted Sponsors**
In a shocking revelation, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has acknowledged that under the Biden administration, numerous unaccompanied migrant children were placed into the care of sponsors without proper vetting.
These sponsors often have criminal backgrounds, exposing vulnerable children to horrific circumstances such as sexual abuse, forced labor, and neglect, as reported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The alarming findings, released in a press statement from ICE, stem from a proactive investigation aimed at ensuring the safety of these children. The press release highlighted distressing details, including the discovery that some sponsors had previously faced serious charges, including drug trafficking and attempted murder.
One particularly harrowing finding involved minors who were allegedly forced into undesirable situations, including instances where girls became pregnant by their sponsors.
This tragic situation underscores the stark difference between the current administration's lax immigration policies and the previous administration's commitment to the safety and security of children crossing our borders.
“We are committed to protecting children who have suffered due to a flawed system,” said ICE spokesperson Laszlo Baksay. He pointed to how the Trump administration implemented rigorous sponsor screening and biometric verification, which would have better safeguarded these children.
Such lapses during the Biden presidency reflect a broader failure to prioritize the protection of the most vulnerable in our society.
In contrast, under Donald Trump's leadership, illegal immigration declined significantly. In May 2025, the Trump administration reported zero illegal immigrant releases from the southern border, demonstrating a commitment to border security that has been significantly compromised in recent years.
The Biden administration’s negligence is now evident in the disturbing reality that many of these children are victims of smugglers and sex traffickers. ICE and DHS are now scrambling to conduct welfare checks on these minors in an effort to steamroll back the systemic failures that allowed such tragic circumstances to occur.
As the nation reflects on these revelations, it becomes increasingly clear that the safety of children, particularly those at the border, demands better from our leaders. It’s time for a serious reevaluation of the policies driving these dangerous outcomes and a renewed commitment to enforcing the laws that protect our children.
