Biden Labor Department Under Investigation After Mass Exploitation of Child Migrants Revealed

The independent watchdog of the Department of Labor is investigating the agency's role in a wave of child labor violations of migrants across the country.
The department's Office of Inspector General said in an Aug. 21 memo that it plans to audit the department's "efforts to curtail child labor law violations, as well as the cause for rising child labor law violations."
It's the latest development in a scandal involving the Labor Department, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the White House.
The New York Times first broke the story in April, when it showed documents proving the administration was quickly releasing unaccompanied migrant children into the country by the thousands. Many of those children ended up working grueling jobs, often for long hours and in dangerous conditions where they worked with chemicals and industrial equipment.
