According to the Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security, the number appears to be over 300,000 unaccompanied children who have disappeared into the United States, although there is some uncertainty because ICE and other agencies in the federal government apparently don't communicate on such matters. 

Nice. 

🚨 DHS OIG CONFIRMS: The Biden-Harris administration is releasing hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied alien children without any way to track their whereabouts or status.

The OIG of Homeland Security there are two types of reasons for why the children who have been released into the United States are untrackable. The first is children who have been given a "notice to appear" for an immigration hearing and who have simply disappeared, not having fulfilled their legal requirement to attend their hearing. There are 32,000 such cases. 

Then there are nearly 300,000 children who weren't even given a notice to appear, and while they were supposedly transferred to Health and Human Services, there needs to be more communication between the agencies and for all intents and purposes they have disappeared into the void. 

There may actually be a third category, although on this I am not certain. There is another 100,000 or so who may or may not have future hearings scheduled, and nobody has checked on their status. I am inferring this, not reporting it as a fact. 

In any case, 320,000 or so missing children strikes me as a crisis large enough to get excited about, and the OIG agrees with me on that one. 

ICE must take immediate action to ensure the safety of UCs residing in the United States. Based on our audit work and according to ICE officials, UCs who do not appear for court are considered at higher risk for trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor. Although we identified more than 32,000 UCs who did not appear for their immigration court dates, that number may have been much larger had ICE issued NTAs to the more than 291,000 UCs who were not placed into removal proceedings. By not issuing NTAs to all UCs, ICE limits its chances of having contact withUCs when they are released from HHS’ custody, which reduces opportunities to verify their safety. Without an ability to monitor the location and status of UCs, ICE has no assurance UCs are safe from trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.

Ah, compassion. The liberals have that nailed, you know? 

Liberals always talk big about how they care deeply about the well-being of others, but as with their obsession with spending billions to build EV charging stations, it is all talk and no action. They don't give a rip about outcomes; just getting their piece of the pie is what keeps them excited and ready to work every day. 

🚨FLASHBACK 🚨

Kamala Harris said it was "outrageous and a stain on our national character" when the Trump Admin was accused of not being able to account for 545 illegal immigrant children.

Over 300,000 children are unaccounted for. These are children that ICE and HHS have taken responsibility for under Biden's policies, and nobody knows what has happened to them. 

Are they living lives of sweetness and light? Or are they being worked in sweatshops run by cartels making fentanyl? You have no idea and neither have I. 

And neither does the Department of Homeland Security. Thanks, Alejandro Mayorkas! Good job!
