Texas advocate calls for probe into federally funded abortions for unaccompanied minors | Texas
SUMMARY: A Texas advocate is urging the incoming Trump administration and Congress to reevaluate federal policies that use taxpayer funds for abortions for unaccompanied alien children (UACs). The U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has faced scrutiny for issues like trafficking, sexual abuse, and poor oversight of UACs. Advocates for abortion access argue UACs should receive taxpayer-funded abortions, citing exceptions under the Hyde Amendment. Critics, like Sheena Rodriguez of Alliance for a Safe Texas, demand transparency on the number of abortions performed on UACs, the costs, and the involvement of abortion-related organizations.
