“It’s horrifying and sad but it is not at all surprising that this happened,” said Jessica Vaughan at the Center for Immigration Studies. “No state has a foster placement system that is this negligent.” After the country during the Obama administration faced a flood of Unaccompanied Alien Children or UACs, as they’re known in government-speak, the government struggled with the balance between processing them quickly and trying to vet the sponsors who came forward to take them., overwhelmed by the sheer numbers it has invited, has swung heavily the other way and pushed children out of custody without the same level of checks.
“We can’t track them because there’s no obligation on their part or the sponsors’ part to stay in touch with us,” Secretary Xavier Becerra told Congress in testimony last month. “That’s why it’s so important for us to do a good vetting process because once we do the hand-off, Congress did not give us authority to try to monitor them.”
