#AceDailyNews says Fact-checking Ron DeSantis’ claim that a U.S. process doesn’t scrutinize current immigrants Politifact News Report:

CBP then transfers the children to the custody of another non-immigration agency, the Office of Refugee Resettlement. That office then tries to place the children with sponsors in the U.S. It also conducts criminal checks on all potential sponsors to ensure they’re not a threat to the minors’ safety. 

“The Office of Refugee Resettlement is a child welfare agency, not a law enforcement agency,” an HHS spokesperson told PolitiFact. “We play no role in the processing of unaccompanied children prior to their referral to HHS custody.”

What DeSantis’ claim gets wrong

Experts and immigration authorities rejected DeSantis’ claim that unaccompanied children are not vetted. 

Customs and Border Protection told PolitiFact that it gathers biometric data and biographical information, such as fingerprints and birth certificates, to uncover any criminal history. 

Children with criminal histories are deemed inadmissible and expelled by immigration authorities — that was the case for fewer than 2% of the children encountered in fiscal year 2021, according to a Congressional Research Service report.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement said that if a child sent to its custody is later discovered to have a criminal background or demonstrates violent behavior, the child may be placed in a secure facility and will stay there unless it is determined they no longer pose a threat to others. 

Children with no criminal histories are placed in nonprofit-run shelters until sponsors take them into their custody.

CBP in November said that there had been cases of people abusing the unaccompanied minor process. Transnational criminal organizations, for example, try to recruit, exploit and convince people to pose as unaccompanied minors as they are smuggled into the United States.

In fiscal year 2021, which began in October 2020 during the Trump administration, Border Patrol agents in the El Paso, Texas, sector encountered 559 adults posing as unaccompanied children, according to CBP. The agency said that “a proactive approach” by Border Patrol agents led to a “substantial increase in the detection” of people who fraudulently pose as unaccompanied minors.

Still, this does not support DeSantis’ claim of no vetting or transparency.

How Biden changed the Unaccompanied Children program

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control, under the Trump administration, issued a public health order allowing Border Patrol agents to rapidly expel migrants crossing the southwest border. 

Unaccompanied children were not excluded from the initial order and were turned away. Though this program is still in effect, Biden has now exempted children from expulsion. 

The Biden administration has also scrapped a Trump-era proposal that would have authorized the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to require biometric data, including DNA and facial images, from immigrants. 

While DeSantis blamed the growing number of unaccompanied children on Biden’s immigration policies, experts cited a combination of factors driving increases, including pandemic-torn economies and labor demand.

A pair of Pants on Fire claims on Ukraine:

  • Ohio Senate candidate JD Vance, author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” said Biden risks war with Russia because Vladimir Putin doesn’t “believe in transgender rights.” That’s inaccurate. Vance went on to say he is “sick of Joe Biden focusing” on Ukraine at the expense of dealing with problems on the border with Mexico.
  • Russian president Vladimir Putin’s spokesman gave an interview in which he denied that Russia had ever invaded any other country. He said “Russia has never attacked anyone throughout its history.” Pants on Fire! Historians cite upwards of a dozen examples dating back to the 1500s in which Russia or the Soviet Union attacked another country without being militarily attacked first.
