“My line in the sand moment was when I found out that GSA had awarded a contract to a company to transport unaccompanied minors,” shared current General Services Administration (GSA) Contract Specialist Clarissa Rippee, according to reports.
She disclosed alarming information about a USD 347 million contract awarded to the company tasked with transporting unaccompanied minors across the United States.
“It felt like someone kicked me in the gut,” Rippee told James O’Keefe.
From O’Keefe Media Group:
“Rippee, who works inside the General Services Administration (GSA), described the unaccompanied minors as being treated like “commodities… like potato chips on a truck.
The contract, which she highlights as an enormous “big money business,” involves moving children, often separated from their families, under inhumane conditions, as per reports.
“What you know, you cannot unknow,” Rippee stated, saying that the horrifying conditions she witnessed inspired her to speak out: “It’s about the children, and it’s my duty now to speak up.”
Why would the federal government need transport for unaccompanied minors, and where are they taking them so that they lose track of them?
