Angel Pineda claims that the Biden Administration is involved in a large child sex trafficking operation in Guatemala. Allegedly, the U. S. government, particularly the Department of Homeland Security, is collaborating with Mexican drug cartels and NGOs to facilitate this trafficking under the guise of humanitarian aid, with over $800 million funneled into these NGOs in the last four years.
Since Biden took office, more than 291,000 unaccompanied alien children (UACs) have reportedly gone missing or have been exploited. This was brought to attention during a House Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing on November 21, 2024. Investigations into these trafficking networks are ongoing, with some NGOs being raided and children rescued, though efforts are criticized for being insufficient and slow, allegedly due to protection of traffickers by U. S. authorities.
Pineda states that Guatemala has been labeled as "ground zero" for illegal immigration into the United States, as U. S. policies have exacerbated the issue. He describes the trafficking operation as vast and corrupt, likening the selection of victims to “shopping for shoes. " Pineda asserts that many children have been trafficked into the U. S. for exploitation, with allegations suggesting that the U. S. State Department has undue influence over Guatemala’s operations.
Despite ongoing investigations, there is a sense of frustration regarding the slow progress in addressing these issues. The law in Guatemala restricts Pineda from publicly discussing certain details about the trafficking networks, creating a barrier to more open communication on the topic. Meanwhile, judges in Texas are beginning to authorize raids on suspected trafficking operations, but the overall response has been described as sluggish, largely attributed to the political climate and the Biden Administration’s involvement.
The total number of trafficked children is reported as exceeding 300,000 under Biden, and many are believed to be sold into sex slavery under the cover of NGOs masquerading as aid organizations. Pineda encourages U. S. authorities to collaborate and respond more effectively to this crisis, which continues to evolve with new complaints and reports of child exploitation.
On the same day of the hearing in 2024, several testimonies shed light on the roles of criminal gangs, including MS-13, in exploiting UACs through various means, such as forced labor and trafficking for organs. There is a consensus that current U. S. policies have not adequately protected these vulnerable populations, contributing to the severe crisis at the border.
Finally, updates on the human trafficking system continue to emerge, troubling many observers who seek to address these complex issues.
