Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accused the Biden administration of enabling child trafficking and making HHS a "principal vector" for it, but claims the Trump administration has ended this role.
Kennedy stated that the HHS is actively searching for over 300,000 migrant children lost under Biden's policies, alleging many were released to unvetted sponsors and may be victims of trafficking or forced labor.
A DHS report released last year revealed that between October 2018 and September 2023, ICE lost track of 32,000 children who failed to appear for immigration court hearings. The safety of another 291,000 could not be verified because they were not placed in removal proceedings.
Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, also vowed to locate and rescue those children. He outlined three key goals: locating the missing children, securing the border and deporting criminal or high-risk illegal immigrants.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has declared that the Trump administration already ended the alleged role of the federal government in facilitating child sex trafficking. During a White House Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, April 30, which marked the first 100 days of Trump, Kennedy accused the administration of former President Joe Biden of enabling child trafficking. He stated that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) became a "principal vector" for child trafficking at the time. "We have ended HHS's role as the principal vector in this country for child trafficking," Kennedy said. "During the Biden administration, HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking for sex and for slavery, and we have ended that." According to Kennedy, the HHS is now scrambling to locate over 300,000 migrant children who went missing while in federal custody. "We're very aggressively going out and trying to find these 300,000 children that were lost by the Biden administration," he said. Furthermore, Kennedy has vowed to address the systemic failures that allowed widespread exploitation under Biden-era policies. "We are no longer going to allow this agency to be used for criminal enterprise. We're doing this for the children and for the integrity of our government." The children primarily involved were unaccompanied minors who entered the country illegally. After their apprehension, they were processed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is legally obligated to transfer them to the HHS within 72 hours. Under the leadership of former Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, DHS asserted that it had limited accountability for events following the transfer.

Border czar: We need to save these children

Kennedy is not the only one who vowed to locate the unaccompanied migrant children who entered the U.S. illegally. In November 2024, Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, announced that one of his top priorities would be locating and rescuing those children. He outlined three key goals at the time: locating the missing children, securing the border and deporting criminal or high-risk illegal immigrants. A DHS report released last year revealed that between October 2018 and September 2023, ICE lost track of 32,000 children who failed to appear for immigration court hearings. The safety of another 291,000 could not be verified because they were not placed in removal proceedings.

"We already found some in forced labor, some of them are in for sex trafficking, some of them are with pedophiles," Homan said. "We need to save these children."
