From Washington: How HHS Failed to Protect Migrant Children

Earlier this week the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee held a hearing to investigate the exploitation of migrant children and the oversight of the Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement. The ORR claims they act in the best interest of the minors however, The New York Times reported last year horrific child labor conditions. The Chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Congressman Tom McClintock (R-CA) joins to evaluate the outcome of this week’s hearing, discuss the allegations of abuse, and explain how the United States got caught up in a worldwide child trafficking operation.

Congress had a big week, wrapping up voting and hearings before the scheduled August recess. The Senate passed its own version of the National Defense Authorization Act, which is expected to face pushback by House Republicans, and the House Oversight and Accountability subcommittee heard testimony from whistleblowers, alleging the government has knowledge and evidence of extraterrestrial life. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram shares what was revealed during the House Oversight hearing and discusses the likelihood of a government shutdown when Congress returns in September.
