Lt. Olivarez to Newsmax: Unaccompanied Minors at Border Big Problem

Lt. Chris Olivarez, spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, told Newsmax on Monday about the tragic situation of unaccompanied children being encountered at the southern border and that more needs to be done at the federal level to help them.

Olivarez’s appearance on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren” came on the heels of a report by the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general released in August that showed the Biden-Harris administration lost track of more than 300,000 unaccompanied migrant children.

The report said an untold number of them were released into the U.S. to “qualified sponsors” and were at risk of sex trafficking, forced labor, and other forms of exploitation. As of May, the whereabouts of 291,000 migrant children who arrived in the U.S. as unaccompanied minors are unknown because they were set free and never given a date to appear in immigration court. Another 32,000 who were given hearing dates did not show up.
