Epstein Files, Traffickers, and the Border: Ali Hopper on The Ingraham Angle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRMfiRkyTdQ

Ali Hopper, co-founder of GUARD Against Trafficking, appeared on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle to raise national awareness about the crisis of child trafficking and the systemic failures enabling it. Her appearance comes after the U.S. House of Representatives voted to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, a move that Hopper used to spotlight a deeper contradiction in national policy and public discourse.

During the segment, Hopper described how children were being smuggled across the southern border, funneled through unvetted “sponsors,” and dispersed across the country - often with no tracking, no accountability, and no real protection. She shared firsthand insight from field operations and exposed the infrastructure traffickers have used to exploit U.S. policy and taxpayer-funded systems.

“When it’s harder to adopt a dog than to sponsor a child, that tells you something,” Hopper said.

Key Points from the Interview:

• Children were being promised safety, then smuggled across the U.S.-Mexico border and delivered into the hands of predators under the guise of sponsorship.

• Traffickers built border infrastructure to facilitate child movement, often using taxpayer resources and exploiting weak oversight protocols.

• Hopper revealed that many of these “sponsors” had extensive criminal backgrounds - including charges related to assault, sexual abuse, and trafficking - and were able to obtain custody of minors with minimal to no vetting.

• She also addressed the political hypocrisy at play: while some politicians push for the release of the Epstein files in the name of justice, they simultaneously oppose ICE operations that are actively dismantling trafficking networks and rescuing children.

A National Crisis That Demands Action

GUARD Against Trafficking continues to sound the alarm that missing children, unregulated sponsorship, and political inaction have created a trafficking crisis inside the United States.

While some government leaders are taking bold steps to uncover the truth, others are quietly enabling trafficking by obstructing the very agencies tasked with stopping it. ICE, in many instances, is not just enforcing immigration policy - it is intervening in active child trafficking operations.
