Journalist Anthony Rubin (Muckraker) published 2024 footage confronting an MVM Inc. van and staff moving unaccompanied migrant children through the McAllen, Texas airport at 5am, in which a Border Patrol agent answers 'some are' when asked whether the children being moved were trafficked. MVM Inc. is a federal contractor with CIA-linked origins. PBS NewsHour reported an investigation finding the company violated policy while transporting immigrant children, and the Daily Beast reported on its origins and the lack of congressional oversight of its contracts.
