Congress shows no sign of letting up on the Biden administration six months after a major report revealed that the federal government could not locate 1-in-4 unaccompanied immigrant children apprehended at the border.
Democrats and Republicans alike have spent the summer sinking their teeth deeper into the whereabouts of 85,000 unaccompanied minors who were released to adult sponsors after coming over the southern border but are nowhere to be found now. The New York Times first reported in February that the government could not track down the children, but the issue has continued to build momentum.
Padilla and Sen. John Hickenlooper sent a letter to the CEOs of the major corporations that were listed in the original NYT report as employing minors and told them to take responsibility for their companies' actions. Last month, Rep. Morgan Luttrell joined Sens. Tom Cotton , Marco Rubio , and Rick Scott and introduced a bill that would require the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services to take certain new steps when releasing an unaccompanied child to a sponsor inside the United States.
Several Senate Republicans sent letters to the Democratic committee chairman days after the viewing and insisted panels schedule oversight hearings on child trafficking so that lawmakers could find immediate solutions.
