During a recent hearing, President Donald Trump's nominee for Health and Human Services secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., addressed concerns raised by Republican senators regarding missing migrant children. Kennedy assured Senators Chuck Grassley and John Cornyn that efforts would be made to locate unaccompanied migrant children who were placed with sponsors while their immigration cases were pending.
Kennedy stated that President Trump had personally tasked him with finding the approximately 300,000 children who had reportedly disappeared over the past four years. He emphasized the urgency of the situation, highlighting the risks of sex trafficking and childhood slavery that many of these children may have been subjected to.
