US government has lost tens of thousands of immigrant kids

Maybe they trafficked them. We know what huge fans this administration is of doing that.

1. "losing" children is by design

The media, the law, and the American public let them get away with ripping kids away from parents and disappearing them into Betsy DeVos foster care the first time. In the meantime they made moves to make anything they do "legal". Now the guardrails are off. Good luck finding the adults being abducted off the street, let alone the kids.

2. They didn't "lose" anyone. They DISAPPEARED them...

3. What a shocker

Not to worry the Maggots will rationalize this.

4. So, I'm not interested in watching a video put together by something that calls itself a "farmette," but I'm wondering

if this is an outgrowth of the claims that started circling last year after the DHS released a report:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-claims-biden-lost-300000-migrant-children-fact-check/

Republicans began making claims that more than 300,000 unaccompanied children had been "lost" after the Department of Homeland Security released a report in August which showed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, did not serve notices to appear in court to 291,000 children between fiscal year 2019 and May 2024.

Additionally, 32,000 unaccompanied children failed to show up for immigration court dates from fiscal year 2019 to 2023.

While the DHS report stated that children who do not attend their court hearings can be at a higher risk of being trafficked or exploited, it did not say that the total 323,000 children referenced are unaccounted for or missing.

"This is not a 'missing kids' problem; it's a 'missing paperwork' problem," said Jonathan Beier, an associate director of research at the Acacia Center for Justice's Unaccompanied Children Program, which helps represent migrant children.
