(Worthy News) – President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for border czar, Tom Homan, emphasized the urgency for the Trump administration to focus on locating and rescuing 300,000 children who are currently missing in the United States due to the border crisis, citing concerns about their risk of exploitation.
Trump declared on Monday that his incoming administration would initiate a national emergency to facilitate mass deportations of illegal immigrants, detailing how the upcoming administration will utilize the military in some capacity.
Later that day, in an interview with Fox News, Homan detailed a three-tier approach outlining the Trump administration’s deportation strategy: first, prioritizing the removal of national security threats; second, focusing on securing the border; and finally, focusing on locating the 300,000 missing children.
Homan emphasized that prioritizing the removal of criminals and national security threats is crucial because, under the Biden administration, the deportation of “criminal aliens” dropped by 70% compared to the first Trump administration. He stated that the next Trump administration will “take the handcuffs off” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to enable the agency to secure the country better.
Homan outlined the critical challenges facing the administration on Fox News’s “America Reports,” stating, “The third rail is we got over 300,000 missing children. Over half a million children have been trafficked into the United States. This administration released them to unvetted sponsors, and they can’t find 300,000. And based on 3 1/2 decades, some of these children are in forced labor. We already found some in forced labor, some of them are in for sex trafficking, some of them are with pedophiles. We need to save these children. That’s going to be the third rail.”
Between October 2018 and September 2023, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) transferred 448,820 unaccompanied children to the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement. However, a disturbing report from the DHS Inspector General released earlier this year disclosed that 323,000 of these children, who entered the United States illegally, are currently unaccounted for.
