(Greg Reese)—In “Finding The Feds’ Missing Children, Child Trafficking in America” by Muckraker.com, Anthony Rubin reports that since 2021, about four-hundred children a day are smuggled into the United States, processed by the federal government, and released into the country.
“On August 19th, 2024, the Department of Homeland Security announced that they had lost track of over 300,000 of these children. In June of 2024, a government insider from the Department of Health and Human Services provided Muckraker with a list detailing the names of over 8000 alien children, along with their last known addresses. So we began an operation to find the missing children ourselves.”

Carlos Arrelano used to work for NGOs delivering these children throughout the United States.
“I spent over two decades working for NGOs. And to be more specific, I spent about seven years escorting children around the country. Delivering them from point A to point B. One of the things that I used to do was I used to move kids in the middle of the night at private airfields, private charter planes. We had countless of kids, ten-year-olds, 12-year-olds, 14-year-olds tell us that, oh they woke us up at three in the morning and they took us to a private airfield where the entire plane was full of kids. And we, I asked them over and over again, did you see other adults on this plane, or were the enti… all the seats just children? And they would say the entire plane, every single seat was a was a child on it. And then they spoke on how they would land in New York and get on charter busses. And then when their sponsor finally picked them up, they picked them up at a park, at a public park in the middle of the night.
And I would get confirmation from the sponsor as well. What time did you pick your child up? Did you pick them up at the airport or at the park? And they confirmed that it was at three in the morning in the park. And, these kids, all of them told stories about how they had little friends that they lost touch with, they’d never heard from again.
We had a lot of kids in the New York area with their sponsors, where I asked them, hey, did you go through any fingerprints? Did you go through any type of background to, to get this child? They said no fingerprints, no background. All I did was sign a piece of paper and they gave the kid to me. And then they turned around and gave the kid away two days later.
The youngest child I moved was three months old. When I moved that three month old, I wasn’t given formula, I wasn’t given diapers, because supposedly I was supposed to land where I was going to drop this child off at 2 p.m. in the afternoon. And I ended up dropping the child off at two in the morning.
And one of the biggest issues we ran into on this trip was that a lot of these so-called sponsors were telling us, oh, we gave the child away. The moment they got here, we gave it away after a day, or we gave it away after two days. And after they tell us, oh, they gave it away. There’s no way to find this child anymore. It’s a dead end. Those kids are lost forever. Never going to find them again.”

In their search, Muckraker.com found that these young children were officially living in dilapidated vacant homes.
“This was a house we showed up at in New York. This was in Amityville, New York, on Long Island. It was a house where allegedly two young boys, seven and ten, were sent to a sponsor there. And we showed up and the house is totally derelict and shut down. Nobody lives there anymore. We tried calling the phone number associated with the sponsor and it was just disconnected.”
~ Anthony Rubin (Muckraker.com)
“Two children were delivered to a sponsor that lives at this address, but as you can see, nobody lives here. And honestly, it doesn’t look like anybody’s lived here in quite a long time.”

On a hidden camera, Border Patrol admits they know this is going on.
“Have you seen the movie…”
~ Border Patrol agent
“Sound of Freedom?”
~ Muckraker-dot-com
“Yeah. Yeah, exactly like that shit.”
~ Border Patrol agent
“You guys get the kids coming over here with the notes that are attached to them with the addresses? Right? And a lot of times they just lead to, like a, like a sex trafficker or something. That’s legit.”
~ Muckraker-dot-com
“Yeah. There’s a lot of shit that we can’t tell you.”
~ Border Patrol agent
“What’s the issue? Why can’t you guys talk on camera?”
~ Muckraker-dot-com
“It’s the policies around things that we can and can’t say. Honestly, I wish there was more people like you, exposing this shit. Because it, it sucks. It truly is a horrible thing. It is a horrible thing.”
~ Border Patrol agent
“And once they’re detained and they’re in the hands of Border Patrol and then HHS, that’s it. Even if they say, listen, I just want to go back to my parents. I was smuggled here. They will not send the kid back home. They send them off, at best, to a foster care system.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
