It has come to light that the Department of “Justice” has scrubbed key information from its webpage on child sex trafficking by deleting entire sections that previously highlighted the International Sex Trafficking of Minors, which has been brutally exacerbated by President Biden’s own policies.

On May 12, 2023, the Biden Administration made substantive cuts to its website detailing the evils and causes of the global sex trade of children, erasing three sections: “International Sex Trafficking of Minors,” “Domestic Sex Trafficking of Minors,” and “Child Victims of Prostitution.”

The DOJ specifically deleted a section that implicated the Biden Administration’s open-border policies in correlation to the sex trafficking of children. The deleted portion read, “One form of sex trafficking involves the cross border transportation of children. In these situations, traffickers recruit and transfer children across international borders in order to sexually exploit them in another country.”

The DOJ also scrubbed references to child exploitation in the form of prostitution: “Pimps and traffickers sexually exploit children through street prostitution, and in adult night clubs, illegal brothels, sex parties, motel rooms, hotel rooms, and other locations throughout the United States.”

DOJ’s blatant move to distance Joe Biden’s harmful policies from the global crime of sex trafficking should be no surprise to any of us who have seen the blatant sexualization and abuse of children this Administration is comfortable with promoting.

As it currently stands, Joe Biden has lost 85,000 children to the hopeless and horrific cycle of international sex trade being conducted on our doorstep, which acts as a launching pad for traffickers to exploit the bodies and souls of innocent children.

This also prefaced the Sound of Freedom release, a film that has underscored the horrific violation of human dignity by the international sex trade and the perpetrators of it.
