The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is facing scrutiny after Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the agency’s responsibility for addressing child-trafficking ends once minors are handed over to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming border czar, Tom Homan, has claimed that many of these children are being exploited and trafficked.
