As the baby formula shortage escalates across the United States and American
parents struggle to feed their children, Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.), the youngest
Republican woman in Congress, went live on social media on May 11 to drop a
bombshell. Photos she had received that morning from Border Patrol agents at the
Ursula Migrant Processing Center in McAllen, Texas, show pallets of baby formula
are being delivered to the border.

“What is infuriating to me,” Cammack shared in a follow-up video on social media
that day, “is this is another example of the America last agenda.”

In an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times, Cammack shared her frustrations
regarding the suffering of America’s mothers and children, as well as the abuse
suffered by the children of illegal immigrants being trafficked by drug cartels.

“I received a couple of text messages from border patrol agents down at the
southwest border,” Cammack said. “I communicate with them regularly. They sent
me some messages as well as some photos. They are just in shock about the news
about the shortage of baby formula across America while they’re taking in
pallets of baby formula at the border, so they were bringing it to my
attention.”

the children of immigrants passing illegally across the United States border.

Cammack declined to reveal the identities of the border patrol agents who sent
the photos.

“Because of all of the attention about what is going on right now, the
headquarters office has now created a policy saying they are no longer allowed
to take photos in the warehouse,” she explained, adding that “for their
protection,” she could not disclose the names of the border agents who sent the
photos.

While she could not determine how many containers of formula were on each
pallet—and noted she is looking into getting those numbers—Cammack said “one
particular processing facility got notice. They would be receiving three
additional pallets in the next few days.” That is in addition to what is shown
in the photos she has already received.

“What I have seen is a stockpiling,” Cammack asserted, noting that the Biden
administration assigns the National Guard to maintain the inventory. “It is
absolutely mind-boggling.”

When she shared the photos of what was happening at the border, Cammack said she
felt like she was “screaming in the wind.”

That morning, Cammack said someone on her team sent photos from a Target in
Ocala, Florida. She said they reported a big sign saying, “attention customers,
effective immediately, all infant formula sales are limited to five units per
child for each customer per day.”

“My team took a picture of the shelves, and it’s pretty bare,” Cammack said.

“When I talk to some of the nurses and doctors back home in the district, they
say they’re seeing an uptick in the number of [Emergency Room] visits for
infants because mothers are now giving their children a new formula,” Cammack
said. “They’re getting sick. They’re having allergic reactions.”

As someone whose age group is predominantly affected by this, Cammack said this
is something mothers from all over the country are contacting her about.

“Mothers cannot find the formula that they need for their children,” she said.
“When I think about what’s happening on the border, this is 100 percent Biden’s
fault. It’s Biden’s FDA that shut down the manufacturing of baby formula out of
one of our plants, and there’s only four major plants that operate and produce
this baby formula, and the FDA has been dragging its feet on this.”

Written in an 11-page letter (pdf) signed by 107 members of Congress and
addressed to President Joe Biden and FDA Commissioner Robert Califf on May 11,
“the formula shortage has reached crisis levels in recent weeks.”

Congressional members demanding answers to the baby formula shortage.

“The share of baby formula ‘out of stock across the U.S. hit 40 percent on April
24’ and a ‘total of 26 states have out of stock rates of 40 to 50 percent,'” the
letter states. “Notably, CVS, Walgreens, and Target are among the stores putting
limits on how much formula customers can buy at one time. Additionally, there is
concern over how this may impact parents participating in the Special
Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), who rely
on the program’s supply of baby formula for their infant’s nutritional needs.”

The letter further addresses how Abbott Nutrition had “voluntarily recalled
formula produced in its Sturgis, Michigan facility following reports of infant
hospitalizations and death.” The facility was subsequently shut down by the FDA,
pending an investigation However, a link has yet to be established between the
formula produced at the Sturgis facility “and the sickened infants.”

While the FDA announced on April 29, 2022, it did not object to Abbott Nutrition
releasing specialty and metabolic formulas produced at the Sturgis facility on
an emergency case-by-case basis, the letter notes how “the FDA has still not
cleared the facility to resume the vast majority of its infant formula
production,” and “the prolonged shutdown of the Sturgis facility without any
public backup plan by the administration has greatly exacerbated the current
shortage.”

“That’s one part of this,” Cammack explained. “The other part is Biden has
failed to address the supply chain, which is completely and utterly broken. When
you factor in inflation and the cost of everything right now, over 8 percent,
people are really struggling. Of course, with the stroke of a pen, Biden created
this border crisis. I can’t even bring myself to call him the
commander-in-chief. To me, he’s the trafficker-in-chief because he has
perpetuated this border crisis. I have been there three times. I have held these
children.”

Cammack shared the horrific story of a 9-year-old little girl she met on one of
her three border tours. The child was in one of the processing facilities.

“She couldn’t even tell me her name,” Cammack reflected. “Her vocal cords had
given out from screaming because she was being gang-raped by members of the
cartel and border patrol agents saved her in the middle of a field. These
children are being used. They’re being used as pawns, and shame on Biden for
this. He is directly responsible for the empty shelves in America and he is
directly responsible for these children being used as pawns, being trafficked
and recycled at the border.”

Asked if there was any advice she wanted to share with American mothers who are
struggling to find formula to feed their own children, Cammack suggested “this
is a really good time for ‘We the People’ to band together, not as Republicans
or Democrats, but as Americans and stand up for America First policies. One
thing [we] should do is shut down the switchboard at the White House. Call the
White House and let them know that mothers across America will not stand for
this.”

administration. (Courtesy of Cammack)

“This is not the fault of the children at the border,” Cammack said. “But we
have American mothers who are struggling to find help. They’re struggling to
find formula and they can’t. The supply chain on this has been broken and
exacerbated by the fact that we have shipments of baby formula being sent to the
border. This is a tough situation. It’s an emotional situation. But this
administration is directly responsible for it and people need to recognize that
it can only be turned around by having the White House address the problem by
coming to the table to do something about it.

“I just couldn’t believe that American mothers who are struggling to feed their
children, their tax dollars are being used to pay for baby formula that’s being
sent to the border,” said Cammack. “It’s not the fault of the children at the
border. But it’s not the fault of the American mothers either. Something has to
give and I think the Biden administration bears great responsibility in this
situation. This is what America last looks like.”
