DHS has only 7 child exploitation analysts, Hawley measure would fund 200 investigators

The Department of Homeland Security has seven forensic analysts for child exploitation investigations, but a measure backed by Sen. Josh Hawley will fund 200 additional investigators. The provision, part of a $70 billion reconciliation package, allocates $108.5 million to combat child trafficking and includes hiring 40 new forensic analysts and 30 new investigators, inspired by Tim Tebow’s testimony on child exploitation.
