DHS watchdog warns of 'urgent issue' after immigration officials allegedly lose track of unaccompanied children

The cases in question spanned both the Trump and Biden administrations.

The Department of Homeland Security's internal watchdog says it has uncovered an "urgent issue" with how immigration officials handle cases involving unaccompanied migrant children, warning in a new report that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has been unable to keep track of all unaccompanied minors released from government custody.

The interim report, sent to Congress on Tuesday and obtained by ABC News, said that -- in the past five years -- more than 32,000 unaccompanied migrant children failed to appear for their immigration court hearings, and ICE was "not able to account" for all of their locations.

By law, the Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for the care of unaccompanied migrant children, so after they are initially taken into custody by U.S. authorities, it is ICE's role "to ensure [their] timely and safe transfer" to HHS, which then often places them in shelters or qualified sponsors' homes.

"Without an ability to monitor the location and status of [unaccompanied migrant children], ICE has no assurance [they] are safe from trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor," Inspector General Joseph Cuffari wrote in his interim report.

He urged ICE to "take immediate action to ensure the safety of [unaccompanied children] residing in the United States."

Our government at work ruining the lives of kids.

Two undocumented immigrants arrested for trafficking teen at local motel

SAN ANTONIO - Two undocumented immigrants accused of trafficking a 16-year-old Venezuelan migrant have been arrested at a motel near the medical center.

According to federal court documents, the San Antonio police conducted an undercover operation at a motel near the medical center earlier this week, responding to an internet ad for sex at the motel.

Authorities say an officer posing as a customer interviewed the victim who told them the two men were selling her for sexual activities.

This is unacceptable.   U N A C C E P T A B L E !!!!!!!   These guys need to go to the pokey and be hung by their toenails and given life sentences.   And I'm being nice.
