A whistleblower within the General Services Administration (GSA) has exposed a $347 million contract awarded to transport unaccompanied minors across the United States.

GSA contract Specialist Clarissa Rippee revealed details of the contract after raising concerns about how the children are being treated during their transportation.

Red Voice Media reported that Rippee told James O’Keefe of the O’Keefe Media Group that her decision to speak out was based on the nature of the contract.

“My line in the sand moment was when I found out that GSA had awarded a contract to a company to transport unaccompanied minors,” she said.

Among a group of Guatemalans who crossed the river into El Paso Tuesday where six unaccompanied minors – the four young sisters were on their way to find their mother in the Boston area.

Rippee said the situation was deeply troubling.

She detailed how unaccompanied minors are being moved across the country in dehumanizing conditions.

“The children are treated like commodities… like potato chips on a truck,” she explained.

Describing the process as “big money business,” she said, “What you know, you cannot unknow,”

“It’s about the children, and it’s my duty now to speak up,” Rippee stated.

Rippee also sounded the alarm about how much activities have become normalized within government operations.

“It’s just an accepted part of the bureaucracy,” she said.

“But the reality is, this is exploitation, and it has to stop.”

The revelations echo similar concerns from fellow whistleblowers, including Border Patrol Agent Zachary Apotheker, who exposed issues within U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the film Line in the Sand.

The research has exposed serious flaws in how government agencies handle unaccompanied minors.

The $347 million contract puts a spotlight on the scale of the operation.

Meanwhile, there are also growing calls for greater transparency and accountability within government agencies handling unaccompanied minors.
