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.

“Fix it?”
It’s a feature not a bug! The Harris Biden regime are the human traffickers!!
The Biden administration is a total FAILURE at the border tragedy....
Seems like the DemocRATS are so into the abuse of young kids and the dismembering and murdering of little babies.......
God must be so angry!! ....imho

 Basements can be sealed with quick-crete.
The child abuse going on due to the Harris open border would make anyone sick.
Or that 300,000 number never was real in the first place; just a few thousand kids recycled over and over for benefits scams.
