Congresswoman Luna will continue using all available resources to end these horrifying practices while shedding light on these issues.
I will continue using available congressional resources to end child trafficking and forced-labor exploitation tied to the border and to shed light on those issues.
Occurrences
Evidence
The bill text includes Title V, Protection of Children, with findings that unaccompanied alien children at the southwest border were exploited by cartels, sexually abused, vulnerable to illegal child labor, and that HHS employees warned labor trafficking was increasing. It proposed repatriation procedures while preserving screening for trafficking victims and credible fear.
The House Clerk records Roll Call 209 on H.R.2, the Secure the Border Act, as passed 219-213. The individual vote list shows Rep. Luna, Republican of Florida, voted Yea.
Congress.gov lists H.R.2's status as Passed House, with passage on May 11, 2023 by 219-213. The latest listed action is a House referral on December 17, 2024, not enactment as public law.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee roster lists Anna Paulina Luna, FL-13, as a Republican member of the Full Committee in the 119th Congress.
The Oversight Committee release says a Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee roundtable examined unaccompanied alien children, widespread child trafficking, missing migrant children, assault, forced labor, and the need to shed light on the problem from the ground level.
Chairman Comer announced the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. Luna said the task force would investigate the Epstein client list and restore trust through transparency.
In a February 11, 2025 letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Chairman James Comer and Chairwoman Anna Paulina Luna requested a briefing on documents in DOJ possession regarding the investigation into and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. The letter states the committee has broad oversight authority to investigate any matter at any time.
Assessments
Luna used congressional resources in the same federal term to advance related oversight and transparency work, including Oversight Committee activity on unaccompanied children, a DOJ records request on Epstein, and leadership of a declassification/transparency task force. She also supported H.R.2, which included border-linked child trafficking and child labor provisions, though it did not become law. The record shows concrete effort and some 'shed light' activity, but not full delivery of the broader promised outcome to end child trafficking and forced-labor exploitation tied to the border, and some evidence is committee-wide rather than personally led by Luna.
