Column: No Space for Homan on Locating Missing Immigrant Children

When Trump’s border czar Tom Homan held a press conference on February 12 to announce a drawdown in federal enforcement in Minnesota, he reported that during their surge, ICE agents “located 3,364 missing unaccompanied alien children, children that the last administration lost and weren’t even looking for.”
Speaking separately on Fox, Homan said nationwide, they have located 145,000 of the over 300,000 missing children from a 2024 Homeland Security report.
It sounds like a success story. But try and find the network anchors and reporters focusing on missing children – you won’t find it. It’s a zero. The broadcast networks focused only on Homan’s drawdown announcement, and his note that they’d arrested about 4,000 people. They recounted two citizens being shot, and then they turned to Democrats to lament all the “trauma” of the surge.
