The Trump administration’s much-debated Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota didn’t just put violent criminal illegal aliens behind bars and ship them out of the country – it also helped find 3,364 “missing” unaccompanied minors that the Biden era left on the shelf, unsearched and unaccounted for until now.
Border Czar Tom Homan told reporters recently [1] that in between rounding up murderers, sex offenders and gang members, federal agents managed to locate more than three thousand kids in Minnesota who’d been written off as lost in the Biden bureaucratic Bermuda Triangle.
“ICE here in this state have located 3,364 missing unaccompanied alien children — children that the last Administration lost and weren’t even looking for,” says @RealTomHoman [2] in Minnesota.

These are “children that the last administration lost and weren’t even looking for,” Homan said. It’s unacceptable that the Biden administration lost track of them. It’s unacceptable that no serious effort was made by the Democrats to locate them.
It’s beyond unacceptable that after four years of allowing – and in many cases facilitating – criminal illegal aliens into the United States, Democrats are still prioritizing protecting those offenders from removal. Some of those same individuals are accused of exploiting, victimizing, trafficking, and abusing the very “missing” children Trump officials are now scrambling to locate. But Democrats don’t care about those children. They even say that out in the open now.

So as ICE has had to take on the role of the federal “Lost and Found” while simultaneously working to deport the worst offenders, Democrats continue pushing policies aimed at keeping as many illegal aliens in the country as possible – no matter the cost.
