TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA — Today, a report by the Twenty-First Statewide Grand Jury Regarding Unaccompanied Alien Children was released and it contains shocking allegations.
According to the report, horrible atrocities were inflicted on immigrant children in Florida and elsewhere who are under the authority of the Biden administration and nonprofit organizations receiving taxpayer money.
The federal government lost track of more than 20,000 children, did not perform background checks on the minors’ sponsors, and children were trafficked and abused, the report alleges.
FLORIDA TOOK ACTION
Last June, after Biden’s policies caused an unprecedented immigration crisis compromising the safety of Americans and immigrants, Governor DeSantis filed a petition with the Florida Supreme Court to impanel a statewide grand jury to identify and investigate persons and international human trafficking networks. The networks are believed to be moving illegal immigrants, particularly children, across the southwest border into Florida and other states.
The petition was approved by the Florida Supreme Court and Attorney General Moody’s Statewide Prosecutor serves as legal advisor to the jury.
“I want to thank Governor DeSantis for standing up for children and calling for an investigation into the Biden administration’s abject failure to protect unaccompanied minors in dangerous situations,” Attorney General Ashley Moody said. “As a mother, I am outraged at how the Biden administration and others in authority have encouraged this nightmare through policy and are neglecting hundreds of thousands of children, subjecting them to abuse and sexual assault even after they cross the border.”
Moody says the federal government is knowingly aiding and abetting trafficking organizations and allowing horrific harm to happen to innocent children. She now calls on Congress to investigate and consider federal law to stop the “misguided programs.”
INTERNATIONAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING
The Statewide Grand Jury is also investigating the impact of international human trafficking networks on the state of Florida. Jurors spent months investigating the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement and the organizations it contracts with to find sponsors for unaccompanied minors.
“ORR is facilitating the forced migration, sale, and abuse of foreign children…This process exposes children to horrifying health conditions, constant criminal threat, labor and sex trafficking, robbery, rape and other experiences not done justice by mere words,” the report reads.
