Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra testified before lawmakers on the agency’s policies on caring for and placing unaccompanied migrant children with sponsors or family members. He faced numerous questions on the vetting of sponsors and migrant children labor exploitation. Secretary Becerra assured lawmakers that sponsors go through a “thorough” process which could include DNA testing and FBI background checks before a child is placed in a home. Other topics included federal funding for the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), care facilities for unaccompanied minors, and coordination with state and local government agencies. close
