During former President Joe Biden's administration, there were speculative rumors and whistleblower claims that his lax immigration policies had been exploited to allow for the illicit trafficking of unaccompanied migrant children, hundreds of thousands of whom were "lost" after entering the U.S. over the past four years.

During this week's Cabinet meeting, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seemed to openly accuse the Biden-era HHS of being a "collaborator in child trafficking" for both sex and slavery, Breitbart reported.

Kennedy's accusation, if confirmed true, would appear to indicate the dire need for a criminal investigation and prosecution of any current or former federal official who may have been knowingly and willingly involved in the illegal trafficking of migrant kids.

Trafficking allegation leveled

President Donald Trump held a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday to receive progress reports from various department and agency heads, including HHS Sec. Kennedy.

Kennedy's report began normally enough, as he discussed the ongoing efforts at HHS to phase out petroleum-based synthetic food dyes, craft updated dietary guidelines, reform the food stamp program, and get rid of fluoride in public water systems, among other pressing concerns.

"We have ended HHS, as the role, as the vector -- the principal vector in this country for child trafficking," Kennedy said. "During the Biden administration, HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking -- and for sex and for slavery."

"And, we have ended that, and we are very aggressively going out and trying to find these children -- 300,000 children that were lost by the Biden administration," the secretary added.

Whistleblower exposes HHS role in migrant child trafficking

Breitbart reported that an HHS whistleblower, Tara Lee Rodas, went public last year with claims that the Biden-Harris administration had acted as a "white glove delivery service" that facilitated illicit child trafficking through both HHS and the Department of Homeland Security.

Rodas explained in congressional testimony how "unaccompanied alien children" caught at or near the border by DHS were subsequently handed over to the custody of HHS, who in turn would place those children with U.S. resident sponsors -- not all of whom were fully vetted before being granted custody of the migrant children.

Some of those kids ended up as child slaves working "grueling overnight shifts in slaughterhouses, restaurants, and factories," where they faced constant danger and death and never earned enough to "repay never-ending debts to their smugglers and traffickers," while other children were horrifically "being sold for sex."

Vetting investigation underway

Breitbart also reported that the Trump administration began investigating in February the "lack of vetting of migrant children" and their U.S. resident sponsors under the prior Biden-Harris administration.

It was noted that nearly 300,000 unaccompanied migrant children were brought into the country during the previous administration, and the current administration "fears that many of these children have ended up in the hands of sexual predators and human traffickers."

Hopefully, those missing migrant children can be located and rescued, and the evil adults who exploited them, be they so-called "sponsors" or federal bureaucrats and officials, will be held fully accountable and face justice for their egregious acts.
