The former Homeland Security agent whose fight against child trafficking was the basis for the hit movie “Sound of Freedom” wants the Biden administration to get serious about protecting immigrant children.

Tim Ballard, founder of Operation Underground Railroad, joined Rep. Chris Smith, New Jersey Republican, to promote legislation at a Tuesday press conference that would require the federal government to track down the estimated 85,000 unaccompanied minors no longer in contact with authorities.

“So my question for this administration: Why will you not at the very least give these foreign children that same protection? You’re giving them no protection, hardly any at all. In fact, what you’re giving them is a joke,” he said. The agencies would have to detail their efforts to locate the children, to conduct wellness checks on them, and to investigate suspected human trafficking in them.
