House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) slammed the Biden administration after a “stunning” inspector general’s report released Tuesday found nearly 300,000 migrant children have gone missing in the US.
“This administration’s failure to secure our border is facilitating what is the equivalent of a modern-day slavery operation,” Johnson told reporters on a press call Tuesday evening.
“The southern border is a national security disaster and a humanitarian catastrophe and Kamala Harris cannot be trusted to fix it,” he thundered.
“And this is one of the biggest scandals in American history; it’s one of the most tragic; and we have to hold emergency hearings.”
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “as of May 2024” failed to locate more than 291,000 unaccompanied children that had been released to domestic sponsors, according to the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General.
Another 32,000 were found and given notices to appear for immigration removal proceedings — but never showed up, the 14-page report reveals.
Just one of the eight ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations offices audited had even “attempted to locate” the missing immigrant kids — and the rate of serving them with notices to appear in immigration court at one location stood at only 16%.
A total of 448,820 unaccompanied children were shuttled from ICE to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and then to sponsors nationwide between fiscal years 2019 and 2023.

Mike Johnson FUNDED the Biden/Harris agenda, this creep needs to shut his mouth and resign. Now.
The media will resurrect the false stories of kids in cages under Trump.
Hey Mikey....YOU ARE A WEK SISTER!! GET MOVING!!
Remember back in the Obama days when the unaccompanied minor surge at the border became a big thing.
Media stories abounded with gushing stories about how “philanthropic” LGBTQ+ people were rushing to the border to “take charge” of these wayward children
Not a lot of follow up stories on whatever happened to all of those unaccompanied minors from back in the good old Obama era of cages.
Kind of makes you wonder what happened to all those trafficked kids
Big ol’ blustery SOTH — like the Cowardly Lion. He’s a disgusting POS, and will take no action to fix things. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if were involved in this operation, either as a provider or a consumer.
Yeah, but Trump put kids in cages!
Remember the finding that half the kids interviewed and DNA tested were not related to the person accompanying them?
Did you miss this? “we have to hold emergency hearings.”
Hearings will fix it right up.

Bingo. The House has the power of the purse.
But only the Democrats are tough. Only the Democrats take bold steps. Republicans compromise, then whine a little bit afterwards.
I’m guessing doing anything about it is a non starter.
It is thought to be sex trafficking, organ harvesting and slave labor. Imagine democRATs doing something like that. Again.
I’d bet Speaker Johnson has a few dozen of these kids salted away in some Louisiana hideaway as payment for being a corporatist tool.
Democrats ask: 60 million abortions and only 300,000 missing children. What’s the problem?
50,000 plus illegals (including unaccompanied children) coming across our southern border every week. And you declare now in 2024 to hold some emergency meetings? When?
Tough talk Mike......
Nothing will be done.
My question is....and few are asking....is WHY? Why are our elected leaders who we elect to protect us and our country...why are they allowing this? Both parties. What is their goal?
About a month ago, I read an article that stated we have more slaves in the US now than we had before the Civil War.
I believe it.
I prefer the term ‘czarina’ in honor of her Soviet Russian leanings.
Czarina 😁
I have a cousin who was so whiney and spoiled growing up that my grandmother nick named her, ‘Czarina’
I can guarantee you not a single delegate on the DNC convention floor gives a damn about these kids. These kids are expendable pawns in Democrat drive to maintain and expand their power and control over this nation.
Oh. Well then ... As long as they’re going to hold emergency hearings, then everything is fine. 🙄🫤 He’s a rat bastard. You’re right: “Hearings will fix it right up” — because they always do.
