Thousands of unaccounted for minors allowed in by Biden
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reports that over 230,000 unaccompanied minors were released into the United States during the Biden administration and are currently unaccounted for. DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari testified before the House Oversight Committee, stating that 31,000 of these children were sent to invalid U.S. addresses. He also highlighted that sponsors receiving these minors were not adequately vetted prior to their release.
The committee met to evaluate a March 2025 DHS report, which revealed significant shortcomings in Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) ability to monitor unaccompanied minors in the U.S. Cuffari emphasized that these gaps exposed critical weaknesses in oversight.
“This is not simply an administrative problem,” Cuffari said. “It’s a systemic breakdown that poses grave risks to unaccompanied alien children (UACs) and the integrity of our legal immigration system.” The DHS report noted that over 43,000 minors failed to appear for court hearings and are now untraceable by ICE, increasing their risk of trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.
“The findings are a double-edged sword,” Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., said during the hearing. “While some vulnerable children have likely been trafficked, exploited and subject to forced labor, the report also found other older teens that were convicted criminals and gang members.”
Cuffari reported that in February, ICE formed a team of special agents to locate these missing minors and conduct welfare checks. The team has visited 50,000 homes so far in an effort to find 200,000 children.

Biden and the Democrats were trying to rig future elections by opening the border, and in the process, their irresponsible policy allowed in hundreds of thousands of minors, and they have no idea where many of them are now.
