The Department of Justice (DOJ) revamped its website and erased the sections that provided information on child sex trafficking. Representative Anna Paulina Lunna condemned this move, accusing the Biden administration of covering its own back.

Rep. Luna claimed that Biden's policies have increased the number of child trafficking victims. She also accused the DOJ of deliberately erasing content on international sex trafficking from its website. The sections eliminated were "International Sex Trafficking of Minors," "Domestic Sex Trafficking of Minors" and " Child Victims of Prostitution." In her statement, Anna Paulina Luna linked the Biden administration to the 85,000 underage victims who fell into the hands of child trafficking schemes.

"In these situations, traffickers recruit and transfer children across international borders in order to sexually exploit them in another country. The traffickers can be individuals working alone, organized crime groups, enterprises, or networks of criminals working together to traffic children into prostitution across country lines," read the DOJ website prior to the changes.

The Internet Archive tool shows that the DOJ's information on these issues was much more extensive before the website was updated. The change in the DOJ page coincidentally comes just weeks after the release of Sound of Freedom, a film about international child trafficking that various media outlets insist is linked to the extreme right or QAnon.

Roger Severino, vice president for domestic policy at the Heritage Foundation, told The Washington Examiner that Democrats almost systemically ignore the problem of child trafficking. "For some reason, people on the left get very uncomfortable and defensive about talking about child sexual exploitation," Severino said. "Republican administrations direct more resources to child and human sex trafficking, and then Democratic administrations pull that back," added the legal expert, who worked at the DOJ during the Trump administration.
