The Biden administration knowingly released two unaccompanied migrant children at the border to live with a sponsor who had ties to a convicted criminal MS-13 gang member, according to government documents obtained in a Senate investigation.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released documents on Thursday that revealed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) identified an adult sponsor of two children in government custody as having been in a “romantic” relationship and maintaining contact with a known gang member in California, but government authorities disregarded that information when it released two children to live with that woman in September 2021.
