BREAKING: Tom Homan Has Found 22,638 of the Missing Migrant Children — 27 Found Deceased

I don’t even know how a number like this is possible, but Tom Homan and the Dept. of HHS have now recovered 22,638 missing migrant children who went “lost” under the Biden Regime.

Absolutely mind-blowing and horrific.

Watch him make the announcement here:

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

We found kids in very deplorable, very dirty conditions. We found children who have been raped. … We got exclusive access to the team operating from what they call the “war room” in Washington, D.C. Working under the Department of Health and Human Services, the team is made up of volunteers from agencies like the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations.

The team is entirely data-driven. They’re focused on analyzing records and addresses to track down where these minors ended up. More than 22,000 unaccompanied children have been found so far under this Trump administration. Twenty-seven of the minors were found dead—murdered, by suicide, in car accidents, or from drug overdoses—and more than 400 sponsors have been arrested.

We’re talking about debt bondage, where children are being made to work off trafficking debt. We’re talking about children who were brought into situations and then treated like sexual slaves. In early 2021, a record number of children began crossing the border. According to HHS, between 2021 and 2024, more than 470,000 unaccompanied children crossed into the United States.

Records show that many of these children were released to sponsors under very lax vetting policies. What do you think people would be surprised by when it comes to the lack of screening? Well, under the last administration, there was a severe lack of screening. There was no DNA testing to see if there was a familial connection.

Children were released to people who said they were their parents but were not. And in many cases, the data is horrible. What the Biden administration was taking in and actually putting into our computer systems was not the right information. So now we have to draw that all back in and deeply investigate into where some of these children went.

Fox News confirms the stunning details:

Fox News got exclusive access to the team responsible for locating the tens of thousands of unaccompanied children who crossed the border and disappeared into the system under the Biden administration.

Under the Trump administration, 22,638 unaccompanied children have been located so far, and more than 400 sponsors have been arrested. Twenty-seven of the minors were found dead, either by murder, suicide or drug overdose, according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS.)

“It’s important that we find these cases where children are being used for labor and sexually trafficked,” John Fabbricatore, HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement senior advisor, said.

The team was assembled in March to fulfill one of President Donald Trump’s campaign promises. He tasked border czar Tom Homan with finding the unaccounted for children, many of whom had been released to unvetted sponsors or non-family members, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation, trafficking and harsh working conditions.

Operating under HHS, the team is made up of volunteers from various agencies, including the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations. They work out of what is known as the “war room,” in Washington, D.C., officially called the ORR Interagency Crime Coordination Cell.

According to Fabbricatore, many of the minors the team was able to locate were found in deplorable conditions and exploited.

“We found children who have been raped,” he said. “We’re talking about debt bondage, where children are being made to work off debt, trafficking debt. We’re talking about children that were brought into situations and then treated like sexual slaves. You know, where children are in horrific environments, just environments that they should not be in, where the sponsor is a heroin dealer and that child winds up dying of a heroin overdose.”

In early 2021, a record number of children started crossing the border faster than HHS could process. Between January 2021 and December 2024, ORR received more than 470,000 referrals of unaccompanied alien children who crossed the border.

According to HHS, many of those children were released to sponsors under very lax vetting policies that failed to ensure child safety or prevent multiple instances of child endangerment, including neglect, labor exploitation, trafficking and sexual and physical abuse.

The new team is data driven, focusing on analyzing records and addresses to track where these minors ultimately ended up.

“There wasn’t very good recordkeeping” under the Biden administration, Fabbricatore said. “It’s drawing that data back in, being able to identify addresses, where these children went, who these sponsors actually were. In many cases, that data is, is horrible. What the Biden administration was taking in and putting into our computer systems was not the right information. So now we have to draw that all back in and deeply investigate into where some of these children went.”

According to Fabbricatore, the most concerning lapse in screening was the failure to conduct DNA tests to confirm that children were being released to their actual family members.
