DHS Announces Trump Administration Has Located 146,000 Migrant Children Lost Under Biden

In this American Greatness article, Debra Heine reports that DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the Trump administration has located 146,000 unaccompanied migrant children who entered the United States during the Biden administration and later became unaccounted for.

• Mullin said the effort involved DHS, ICE, and HHS, and credited President Trump with making the search for these children a priority.
• According to the article, nearly 300,000 migrant minors remain unaccounted for, even after the administration says it has located 146,000.
• Mullin blamed the Biden administration for failing to properly vet sponsors and conduct wellness checks after children were released into the country.
• The article says officials are investigating severe abuse allegations, including claims that some children were repeatedly raped after being placed with sponsors or traffickers.
• Mullin argued that Democrats and media allies are demonizing DHS and ICE even as agents try to locate missing or exploited children.
• The article highlights claims about “super sponsors” who allegedly used fraud to take custody of multiple migrant children, sometimes by falsely claiming family relationships.
• Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said DOJ is tracking 15,500 super-sponsor cases tied to migrant children smuggled into the United States between 2021 and 2024.
• Blanche also announced indictments against three Guatemalan nationals living in Ohio who allegedly acted as super sponsors and were connected to more than a dozen migrant-minor smuggling cases.
• The article frames the situation as a catastrophic failure of Biden-era border and child-welfare policy, with Trump officials arguing that lax enforcement left vulnerable children exposed to trafficking, abuse, and criminal exploitation.
