Much of the information Lisa and her team have provided to law enforcement over the years has resulted in suspected traffickers being arrested and exploited girls receiving appropriate protection. Shepherd’s Watch leaders pointed out that many sites, including Facebook, TikTok and OnlyFans, serve as platforms to promote trafficked girls to potential buyers.

“Within the first three months of borders opening, advertising exploded. We started noticing new sites and ads in Spanish,” Lisa continued. “Before, there wasn’t much of that. Then sites dedicated to Latina girls started popping up all over the place.”

When President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, he immediately worked to undo the previous administration’s border security policies, according to an analysis by the Migration Policy Institute. The Biden-Harris administration took 296 executive actions in its first year, 89 of which specifically reversed or initiated the process of undoing President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

Biden went on to cancel many of the other major Trump-era border enforcement initiatives, including the Remain in Mexico program, border wall construction, and the coronavirus-era Title 42 health order.

“Human trafficking has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry, made possible by the current administration’s lax border policies.Drug cartels, human traffickers, and smugglers use UAC to hide themselves from anyone noticing.

According to the Free Press, the Office of Refugee Resettlement is tasked with sending fingerprints of non-family sponsors to the FBI to check for criminal or child abuse histories.
