A shocking new investigation has unveiled a disturbing reality in the United States: a CIA-linked contractor, MVM Inc., has been moving unaccompanied migrant children across the country, with troubling connections to labor and sex trafficking. The revelations were part of a bombshell report by investigative journalist Anthony Rubin, who exposed how the federal government has lost track of over 300,000 migrant children since the Biden administration began, with many falling into the hands of criminal organizations.
The report, titled "Finding the Feds' Missing Children," details how MVM, a contractor with deep ties to the CIA, has been tasked with transporting these vulnerable minors from government detention centers to so-called "sponsors." While the Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program is intended to reunite children with relatives or vetted guardians, the investigation found that many were instead handed over to strangers, leaving them at risk of exploitation.

MVM, a contractor known for its work in places like Guantanamo Bay and CIA operations in Iraq, received multi-million-dollar contracts to escort migrant children across America. However, the report claims that many of these children ended up in dangerous situations, with some being trafficked for labor or sex. Rubin's team tracked down children who had been lost in the system, finding them in dire conditions. One such case involved two young boys who were sent to an abandoned house in New York, with no trace of what happened to them after arrival.
The issue of unaccounted-for migrant children has garnered increasing attention, particularly as it comes to light that over 85,000 children are still missing after crossing the U.S. southern border under Biden’s watch. Conservative media outlets have criticized the Biden administration for failing to provide adequate oversight, accusing it of enabling a humanitarian crisis. Left-leaning outlets, on the other hand, have largely ignored the gravity of the situation.

Migrant children who enter the U.S. alone are often placed in detention centers before being released to sponsors. While this system is designed to provide temporary shelter, critics argue that it lacks the necessary safeguards to protect the children. Stories from the investigation reveal how some children were taken from detention centers in the middle of the night, with no opportunity to say goodbye to their friends, and sent to unknown destinations. In one particularly chilling account, a young girl named Alexa shared how her friend, who had also been detained at a facility in Pomona, California, disappeared after being sent to a sponsor, with no word since.
The situation raises broader concerns about the U.S. government's handling of the migrant crisis. The Biden administration has been criticized for its open-border policies, which many argue have exacerbated the issue. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) admitted earlier this year that it had lost track of over 300,000 children, many of whom were released without court dates or proper follow-up. This lapse has opened the door for traffickers to exploit the system, using threats of deportation and violence to coerce children into labor or sex trafficking rings.
As the investigation continues to unfold, there are growing calls for Congress to take action. Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has demanded an investigation into the federal agencies responsible for losing track of these children. He has also raised concerns about the involvement of the intelligence community, given MVM's CIA connections. Critics argue that these revelations demonstrate the federal government's inability to manage the migrant crisis, leading to widespread human rights abuses.
The scandal has drawn attention to the broader issue of child trafficking in the U.S., where an already fragile system is struggling under the weight of unprecedented migration levels. With thousands of children still missing, advocates and lawmakers alike are calling for immediate reforms to protect these vulnerable minors and hold those responsible for their disappearance accountable.
