Missing Immigrant Children Rescued
Tom Homan, the acting Border Emperor, stated on Friday that around 10,000 of the estimated 300,000 unaccompanied immigrant children who went missing during the previous administration have been rescued. In a recent incident, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a raid on a marijuana facility in Camarillo, California, where they found eight unaccompanied minors along with two teenagers, confirmed Rodney Scott from Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Homan mentioned on Fox & Friends that since Donald Trump’s presidency began, approximately 10,000 of these children have been located. “We’re looking for over 300,000 missing children. Yet, have you heard much about it? No, because the media tends to overlook this,” he remarked. “This should transcend politics; protecting public safety and national security is, in a way, a shared concern among all sides. Saving children should unite us.”
According to reports, about 291,000 migrant children, who arrived with companions, did not receive court notifications after illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The Office of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed that over 32,000 children released from custody since 2019 have gone missing.
Under the Biden administration, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), responsible for placing children with adult sponsors, has indicated that roughly a third of the unaccompanied minors have parents already in the U.S. The rest have been sent to live with relatives, based on internal investigations.
This issue has stirred anger among Democrats, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, who criticized ICE’s actions during a raid. He referred to Trump as “scum,” expressing concern over children crying while their mothers were taken away by authorities.
Federal agents reportedly faced protests during the raid, leading them to deploy tear gas and smoke bombs to disperse the crowds. Additionally, U.S. Attorney Bill Essays for the Central District of California announced a reward of $50,000 for information regarding an unidentified person believed to have fired at federal law enforcement officers.
