Tara Rodas and Mike Engleman on the Johnny Vedmore Show - 9 August 2024

TNT Radio

GUEST OVERVIEW: Tara Rodas has been a public servant for more than 20 years, 17 of which have been dedicated to serving the Federal Inspector General (IG) community. In 2021, Tara answered the humanitarian call from OPM to support the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) urgent efforts to care for and place migrant children entering the U.S. via the southern border with sponsors in the U.S. While serving on detail with HHS’ Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program, she discovered that children are being trafficked through a sophisticated network that begins with being recruited in their home country, smuggled to the U.S. border, and ends when HHS delivers a child to a sponsor – some sponsors are criminals and traffickers and members of Transnational Criminal Organizations. On April 26, 2023, she testified at the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement hearing and said, “Whether intentional or not, it can be argued that the US Government has become the middleman in a large scale, multi-billion-dollar, child trafficking operation run by bad actors seeking to profit off the lives of children.” Tara is now known as the HHS Whistleblower who exposed government-sponsored, taxpayer-funded child trafficking.

GUEST OVERVIEW: Mike Engleman is a U.S. Election Political Commentator & Analyst.
