Fox News: Former ICE chief torches 'unconscionable' Biden-era policies as Trump's DHS finds migrant children
The Department of Homeland Security is addressing concerns over unaccompanied minors who may have been placed with unvetted sponsors, potentially exposing them to exploitation. The Trump administration highlighted that 300,000 children were "lost or placed with unvetted sponsors" during the Biden administration, with 13,000 already found.
DHS has processed over 59,000 of the 65,000 backlogged reports on these children. Recent funding measures aim to enhance immigration enforcement, including hiring 10,000 more ICE agents and offering signing bonuses. Officials believe these resources will improve the tracking of missing children and combat exploitation.
