SHOCKING: Biden admin ignored 65,000 calls from abused illegal immigrant kids

The president of an anti-trafficking organization testified to Congress last week that former President Joe Biden’s administration failed to respond to 65,000 calls made to a hotline used to report safety concerns stemming from unaccompanied migrant children who came into the U.S. to live with sponsors. 

The House Committee on Homeland Security released a statement last week, saying, “This week, the House Committee on Homeland Security held a hearing detailing how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) helped facilitate and benefited from the historic Biden-Harris border crisis, as well as how far-left NGOs are still working to help inadmissible aliens undermine federal immigration law under the Trump administration.”

Ali Hopper, the president and founder of GUARD Against Trafficking, told the House Committee on Homeland Security that government agencies and non-governmental organizations were “hijacked by criminal networks” under the Biden administration. 

According to the House Committee on Homeland Security, the Biden administration “handed over unaccompanied alien children (UACs) to NGOs, primarily at the border, who then delivered them to poorly-vetted sponsors.” The committee noted that the Biden administration also failed to conduct proper follow-up communications, which led to over 300,000 children being “unaccounted for.” 

During the committee hearing, Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz) said Democrats were “very upset” about the hearing because they “don’t want to talk about the 300,000 kids that we still don’t know where they are.”

“They’re upset that President Trump got elected. They’re upset that he’s doing exactly what he said he was going to do, and we’re backing him up here in Congress,” Crane added. “This is what the American people voted for because they saw four years of the carnage that these open border policies plagued on the United States. We’re talking about the NGOs that they used as middlemen to carry out their operations.”

Asked about the safeguards the Biden administration set in place to protect unaccompanied migrant children, Hopper explained that the administration limited welfare checks to two phone calls and would not follow up on cases if migrant sponsors failed to answer the phone.

Hopper added that while there was a “notice of concern” hotline for unaccompanied migrant child safety concerns, 65,000 calls “went unanswered” from August of 2023 to January of 2025.

“Those calls spanned from complaints about stale bread all the way to being abused,” Hopper testified.

Hopper pointed to one example where a child reported that adult males were coming into his room at night and were “touching him.” She explained that the hotline call was unanswered under the Biden administration until the Trump administration successfully went through the 65,000 calls and took decisive action, including the arrest of the sponsor in the example she gave the committee.
