“An HHS whistleblower, Tara Rodas, will testify about the deeply flawed, inadequate process by which HHS places UACs with ‘sponsors’ around the country and the coordination and information-sharing between DHS and HHS. Rodas was the former deputy to the director of the Federal Case Management Team and a detailee at the Pomona Fairplex Emergency Intake Site (EIS) in Pomona, California, in service of Operation Artemis for HHS’s Administration for Children & Families (ACF) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program,” the House Homeland Security Committee released in a statement ahead of the hearing.Â
“Under the Biden-Harris administration, Customs and Border Protection has encountered more than 500,000 UACs at the Southwest border. In August, DHS investigators released a heart-breaking report concluding that since Fiscal Year (FY) 2019, more than 291,000 UACs out of nearly 450,000 transferred from DHS custody to HHS, were not given Notices to Appear. The more than 32,000 who received notices failed to appear for their immigration hearing. Of those 291,000, more than 90,000 were encountered in FY 2021 alone,” the statement continues.Â
