Unlike other systems that Doge has accessed, two former HHS officials say, the UAC portal contains no financial or employee records and is intended to be a means of tracking unaccompanied children to provide them with care. The portal’s data is highly sensitive because the children’s case files may include reports of trauma such as physical or sexual abuse, and because the data could be used for immigration enforcement purposes.

“I certainly would be concerned about Doge access to the portal – why it was used, which child information was accessed and for what purpose? Were mental health records accessed?” former HHS official Jen Smyers said. “These are the most vulnerable children in their most vulnerable moments.”
