Crime Office that combats human trafficking gutted by Trump

But then why use his name if it has nothing to do with him? I don't know how long this has agency was around, but why not say "over the last 4, 9, 23 years"? I'm not even giving an opinion on this topic because I don't know anything about it. I'm just reading this thread and notice yet-a-fucking-gain more Trump good Biden bad. You say it's not about Biden, but that's a tough sell when his name is you're reference point is all I'm saying.

No, it provides perfect context. Because during the last 4-5 years, under the previous administration, they obviously did a shitty job, losing track of those minors and all the other people being trafficked.

Now the new administration, which ran on cutting wasteful government spending, sees this agency that was basically ineffective and doing a clearly horrible job. So cut it and reallocate the resources or simply cut spending. The people should be fired anyways, so they would have to rebuild or reform the office anyways.

My post clearly presents that, by saying “under Biden they lost track of all the trafficked kids they were supposedly monitoring, clearly not doing their job effectively”. Which was the gist of my post, implying this is a good cut

I recently (May) lost a job as a human trafficking advocate because the trump administration refused to renew the grant. So I know firsthand that they don’t care about the issue.

More people doesn’t mean efficiency and effectiveness , just like throwing money at a problem , the stats are on his side

As of July 24, 2025, the Trump administration has reported locating 13,000 unaccompanied children who were previously unaccounted for or placed with unvetted sponsors during the Biden administration. Additionally, specific operations like Operation Dragon Eye in Florida, led by the U.S. Marshals, rescued 60 children aged 9-17 from sex trafficking. These figures indicate at least 13,060 children have been rescued or located in efforts related to child sex trafficking this year.

In 2024, under the Biden administration, data on child sex trafficking rescues is less centralized due to inconsistent federal reporting, but available sources provide some insight. According to a Freedom of Information Act request cited by The Free Press, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Office on Trafficking in Persons assisted 2,148 migrant minors who escaped sex trafficking through September 2024, though this excludes the fourth quarter. This number reflects only those who escaped, not the total number of children still held by traffickers. Additionally, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation reported 514 cases of minor sex trafficking in Tennessee alone in 2024.


These figures suggest thousands of children were identified or assisted, but the lack of comprehensive federal data makes it difficult to provide a precise total. Reports also indicate that over 320,000 unaccompanied migrant children were unaccounted for during the Biden administration, with many at risk of trafficking.

Anyone who legit cares about this issue will know that a porous border facilitating illegal entry to the most desired society on earth is a recipe for disaster. It reminds me of that clip of Romero talking about all the shit people go through to try and make it across.
