Rep. Chip Roy Demands Biden-Harris Agencies Preserve Records on Missing Migrant Children Released into U.S.John Binder 19 Nov 2024
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) is demanding the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as well as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), preserve all records about tens of thousands of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) whom the agencies have lost contact with after they were released into the United States.
In a letter to HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Roy writes that the agencies must ” preserve all existing and future records and materials relating to HHS, [Office of Refugee Resettlement], and DHS policies regarding UACs since January 20, 2021.”
Particularly, Roy said the agencies ought to “prevent the destruction of all documents, communications, and other information, including electronic information, that are or may be responsive to this congressional inquiry” relating to those UACs whom the agencies no longer know the whereabouts of.
“… under the Biden-Harris administration, HHS has lost track of an estimated 150,000 UACs, meaning the whereabouts and well-being of these minors cannot be accounted for, in addition to other allegations of UACs being abused and being poorly vetted to determine whether they are a potential danger to the American people,” Roy writes:
At the same time, the DHS Office of the Inspector General (OIG) found that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) failed to serve notices to appear in immigration court on more than 320,000 UACs, which limited ICE’s chance of contacting UACs when they leave HHS custody, thus reducing opportunities to verify their safety.
