Senate investigation into unaccompanied child smuggling finds major 'failures' under Biden

The findings from a senior Senate Republican’s year-and-a-half investigation into the Biden-Harris administration’s response to an influx of unaccompanied immigrant children at the southern border suggest a multitude of “failures” by the federal government.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), the top Republican and soon-to-be chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, released the results of an 18-month search for answers about how the administration cared for minors in government custody after they came over the southern border. The report also examines a sloppy process for finding, matching, and releasing children to live with adults, sometimes strangers.
