A new report shows that unaccompanied illegal alien children were being sent to live in unsafe environments under the Biden administration.
A report from The Wall Street Journal revealed documents and interviews showing the federal government was repeatedly ignoring and overriding the concerns of lower-level workers who warned them about placing children in households with criminal records.
At one holding facility near Los Angeles, California, more than 100 children were sent to live with temporary guardians previously issued denials by case coordinators. Nearly two dozen more denials were overturned by clerical errors or issues including missing fingerprints that were later resolved. However, many others were approved, with some of the home addresses tied to people with histories of criminal activity. Despite this knowledge, it cannot be determined what happened to the children after they left the facility.
The findings from internal records and interviews show that the Biden administration overlooked the concerns about some guardians to avoid the political crisis over a historical surge of illegal aliens crossing the border every day. Officials also confessed at the time that they wanted to avoid images of “children in cages” caused by minors being held in overcrowded detention centers.
