Florida Attorney General, Ashley Moody, blasted the Biden Administration for its immigration policies. In a 46-page report, the Attorney General's Office, along with a Florida Grand Jury, charged migrant control authorities with facilitating human trafficking. A situation in which unaccompanied minors would be particularly vulnerable.
According to the Florida Attorney General's Office, the Biden Administration allegedly concealed these facts.

The complaint of the Grand Jury and the Prosecutor's Office focuses on the policies of the Federal Office for Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which creates a situation of vulnerability affecting migrants and unaccompanied minors. According to the 46-page report, ORR's policies should be considered a crime of "child neglect."
According to the Florida Grand Jury's brief, ORR is allegedly facilitating the forced migration, sale and abuse of alien children. "This process (federal immigration policy) exposes children to horrific health conditions, constant criminal threats, labor and sex trafficking, theft, rape, and other experiences to which mere words do not do justice," the Grand Jury indictment states.
"As a mother, I am outraged at how the Biden Administration and other authorities have fostered this nightmare through policy and are neglecting hundreds of thousands of children, subjecting them to abuse and sexual assault even after crossing the border," says Attorney Moody in her statement.

Fight against Biden's Florida policy
According to Border Patrol data collected by the Tampa Bay Times, in the last fiscal year, authorities took in 127,477 unaccompanied migrant minors, of which 13,195 ended up in the state of Florida.
This is not the first time that the Florida Attorney General's Office has come out strongly against the Federal Government's immigration policy. In early March, Ashley Moody beat the president to the punch when a federal judge accepted her lawsuit and declared Biden's immigration policy illegal. Judge Kent Wetherell then ordered the federal government to change its border control policy.
Florida suffers a strong migratory pressure that worsened with the arrival of the Biden Administration, which progressively reduced the means and resources available to border control authorities, creating a serious crisis at the gates of the United States due to the so-called "call effect."
