DHS Says It Has Located 146,000 Migrant Children Lost During Biden Admin

Another 32,000 children failed to appear for scheduled immigration proceedings.

Federal officials have since attempted to locate many of those minors, though questions remain about the precise status and whereabouts of large numbers of children included in those figures.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche also announced criminal charges Thursday against three Guatemalan nationals in Ohio accused of submitting false information in order to become sponsors for migrant children and receive financial benefits.

Federal prosecutors allege the defendants fraudulently participated in the sponsorship process designed to place unaccompanied minors with vetted adults while their immigration cases proceeded.
