Feds Lost Track of Tens of Thousands of Unaccompanied Border Kids, Homeland Watchdog Confirms

A recent report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General confirmed that the government has not been able to properly track tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors who crossed the U.S. border without parents. This lack of monitoring makes it difficult to ensure the children’s safety and well-being. The report revealed that more than 448,000 minors were transferred to the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) between 2019 and 2023, but over 31,000 children had missing or incomplete address information. As a result, it is challenging for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to keep track of their whereabouts or ensure they are safe.
