Two leftists NGOs with financial ties to George Soros are trying to stop President Trump’s new anti-child-trafficking reforms.
The National Center for Youth Law and Democracy Forward, which have both received money directly or indirectly from George Soros via his Open Society Foundations, are suing the Trump administration in an attempt to prevent reform of the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) program, which resettles migrant children in the US with adult sponsors if they arrive at the border without an adult guardian.
Tara Lee Rodas, a whistleblower at HHS, has called the UAC program a “white glove delivery service” where migrant children go from federal custody before being turned over to adult sponsors who are usually not their parents or relatives.
She said, “we have delivered these unaccompanied children to criminals, traffickers, and members of transnational criminal organizations who are using the UAC program as a white glove delivery service of children.”
Trump’s reforms of the service, which began in February, include preventing migrant children from being turned over to illegal aliens in the US.
The two Soros-backed NGOs have filed a class-action suit to prevent HHS from verifying the legal status of sponsors before children are handed over to them.
They are asking a district court to rule that the reforms are unlawful and issue an injunction preventing them from being implemented.
Democracy Forward is also behind another lawsuit aimed at preventing the deportation of foreign gang members.
At the beginning of the month, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he had uncovered a massive human trafficking operation run out of his department.
