Hawley grills Mayorkas on reports of forced child migrant labor: 'Why shouldn't you be impeached for this?'
Fox News
Sen. Josh Hawley grilled DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over a bombshell report about an increase in forced child labor among unaccompanied children who came to the US.
The Times reported this week that staffers in the administration had ignored signs of "explosive" growth in child labor as more than 250,000 unaccompanied migrant children entered the U.S. in the past two years. A number have been forced into indentured servitude to pay back smugglers. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

Hawley tied the increase in child migration across the border to a move by the Biden administration in early 2021 to not apply Title 42 expulsions to unaccompanied children.
