| Hi John, According to a recent op-ed in the New York Post, children as young as 8 years old are being drugged and trafficked at our southern border by smugglers posing as their parents. Here’s the bottom line: These innocent kids are being used in horrifying schemes by criminals who care nothing for their safety or futures, and it’s happening due to the dysfunction at our border. I’ve had the privilege of working with two incredible human trafficking experts, Ali Hopper and Jarrod Sadulski. Both have dedicated themselves to exposing the dark realities of human trafficking. Jarrod testified before Congress on this issue, and back in February 2024, AFPF took him to the border. He told me this trip changed his life. Now, he’s more focused than ever on the need to secure our border and prevent this tragic exploitation. Jarrod and Ali have spoken directly to human traffickers in Central America and witnessed cartel operations along the U.S.-Mexico border. In fact, Ali recently spoke with Fox News, warning about the significant risks faced by children trafficked across our border.
