Never forget what the Democrats did to the American people by opening up our southern border. This was only two years ago.
President Trump promised to secure the border. @HouseGOP backed him every step of the way. Now illegal crossings are at HISTORIC lows, border releases have been at ZERO for a full year, and America’s open-border crisis is OVER.

Hailey's family knew she was in danger. Her community knew she was in danger. But because there was no confirmed abduction, no AMBER Alert went out, and because she didn't have a qualifying disability, a Silver Alert didn't apply. The system meant to protect kids like Hailey simply didn't have a box to put her in. That's why I introduced the HAILEY Act.

Rep. Yakym Introduces HAILEY Act in Honor of Indiana Teenager to Strengthen Missing Child Alerts: Legislation would empower law enforcement to issue AMBER Alerts for minors believed to be high-risk missing persons. WASHINGTON, D.C.  – On Wednesday, Congressman Rudy Yakym (R-IN-02) introduced the HAILEY Act—named in honor of 17-year-old Hailey Buzbee from Fishers, Indiana. The High-risk Alert Improvement for Locating Endangered Youth (HAILEY) Act would empower law enforcement to issue AMBER Alerts for individuals under the age of 18 believed to be high-risk missing persons, even when an abduction cannot be immediately confirmed. "As a father of three kids, I cannot imagine the pain this family has endured. Hailey Buzbee deserved better, and so do the countless other children who fall through the cracks of an alert system that wasn't built for the threats they face today,” Rep. Yakym said. "This family is turning unimaginable tragedy into action to make sure no other child suffers the same fate, and I am honored to fight alongside them in Congress to make it happen.” Hailey Buzbee had her whole life ahead of her. In January 2026, the 17-year-old was lured away by an adult she had met online, and never came home. Because her disappearance was initially classified as a runaway, no AMBER Alert was ever issued. Under current law, alerts only go out when law enforcement can confirm an abduction and determine a child is in immediate danger—a standard that left Hailey without the warning that could have saved her life, and one that continues to leave children vulnerable to online predators across the country. The HAILEY Act amends Section 302(a) of the PROTECT Act (34 U.S.C. 20502(a)) to add AMBER Alert issuance standards for individuals under 18 whom law enforcement reasonably believes to be a high-risk missing person. @93wibc

An Indiana congressman is leading a national push to strengthen alerts for missing children, and named the legislation after Hailey Buzbee. Congressman Rudy Yakym introduced the HAILEY Act on Wednesday. The High-risk Alert Improvement for Locating Endangered Youth (HAILEY) Act would push law enforcement to issue AMBER Alerts for children believed to be high-risk missing persons, even if an abduction cannot be immediately confirmed. Right now, AMBER Alerts can only be issued when police can confirm an abduction and that a child is in immediate danger. That tragically wasn’t the case in Hailey’s disappearance. Buzbee was allegedly lured away from her home in January this year by an Ohio man who met her through online gaming. Her remains were found in February, but the man—arrested in her disappearance—has not been officially charged with murder. "As a father of three kids, I cannot imagine the pain this family has endured. Hailey Buzbee deserved better, and so do the countless other children who fall through the cracks of an alert system that wasn't built for the threats they face today,” Rep. Yakym said. "This family is turning unimaginable tragedy into action to make sure no other child suffers the same fate, and I am honored to fight alongside them in Congress to make it happen.” Hailey’s dad, Beau Buzbee, wrote the following on social media, reacting to the proposed law: “The HAILEY Act seeks to modernize our response to high-risk missing children and ensure cries for help are amplified, but neglected or silenced.

250 years from now, someone will dig up a time capsule beneath the U.S. Capitol, and find an RV inside it. Today, I joined the Indiana delegation in contributing to Congress's Semiquincentennial Time Capsule, which will be buried beneath the Capitol and opened on our nation's 500th anniversary — July 4, 2276. It was important to me that something in that capsule represent the hardworking Hoosiers who built the backbone of Indiana's 2nd District, and this country. Their grit, determination, and spirit belong in American history, and now they do.

Because her disappearance was classified as a runaway, no AMBER Alert was ever issued. I just introduced the HAILEY Act to close that gap. Hailey deserved better, and so do the countless other children who fall through the cracks of an alert system that wasn't built for the threats they face today.
