U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley spent his birthday standing on the U.S. Senate floor for over 30 minutes advocating for thousands of abused and missing children.
Only six Democrats in the U.S. Senate served longer than he has.
“In the Biden-Harris America, children disappear every day. You won't see their faces on any milk cartons. Search parties aren't set for them and the Amber Alert almost never sounds,” Grassley said. “According to the Justice Department’s filings, some of these children reappear years later in emergency departments with the injuries from physical or sexual abuse. Others resurface as underage laborers working jobs that most adults won't even take, and many are never heard from again. These forgotten children are overlooked because they are unaccompanied migrant children” who are brought into the U.S. without family members.”
“HHS must stop its cover-up and cooperate with law enforcement and Congress to end this crisis and protect unaccompanied children and the American people,” they said.
He is likely to surpass two Democrats who served longer by 40-60 days, who were born in the 1880s.
They are sent to HHS-contracted facilities nationwide, with the majority sent to Texas, California and Florida, The Center Square reported.
As the volume of UACs arriving in the U.S. increased, ORR significantly reduced “background checks and vetting procedures to speed up the process, despite knowing children were being trafficked through HHS ORR’s UAC program,” according to DHS OIG audits. Information sharing with law enforcement was negligible, ORR was negligent in caring for UACs, didn’t comply with congressional subpoenas, and didn’t provide requested information about the whereabouts of UACs to DHS, they argue.
“HHS must stop its cover-up and cooperate with law enforcement and Congress to end this crisis and protect unaccompanied children and the American people,” they said.
