Biden Ignored Missing Children; Trump Found and Saved Over 62,000 of Them: Tom Homan [WATCH]

Border Czar Tom Homan said the Trump administration’s review of child welfare and immigration data uncovered a massive number of missing and unaccounted-for children who had been ignored under the prior administration.

Homan said the effort began with daily tracking of records and expanded into one of the largest child-recovery operations ever described by a federal official.

Homan explained that he monitors the numbers constantly and that the findings were clear.

“I look at the numbers every day. On Friday, I looked at the numbers. There’s over 62,000 children found by the Trump administration, children that weren’t even being looked for in the Biden administration.”

He said those children had fallen completely off government radar, despite signs of possible exploitation, trafficking, or abandonment.

According to Homan, many of these cases were severe.

He said, “President Trump saved over 62,000 children’s lives. Some of these children sex trafficking. We found. Some were in forced labor. Some were being mistreated. I can’t even discuss some of the mistreatment we found out about.”

Homan said the nature of the abuse was so extreme in certain instances that details could not be publicly disclosed.

Homan described the effort as a nationwide review requiring coordination among law enforcement agencies, child services, and immigration officers.

He said the Trump administration insisted on identifying every child who had been released, transferred, or logged in border records, including children who had disappeared during the prior administration’s handling of migrant placements.

He argued that the scale of the recovery exposed systemic failures under Joe Biden.

Homan said many of these children had been misplaced through improper vetting, rushed releases, and minimal follow-up when adults claiming custody were never verified. He said a significant number were discovered in situations that should have been flagged earlier.

He stated that the discoveries were not accidental but the result of deliberate policy direction.

According to Homan, President Trump instructed his administration to prioritize the location and safety of missing children.

That directive, he said, led to renewed investigations, re-opened files, and cooperation from state agencies that had not been engaged under Biden.

Homan said the public has not fully grasped how wide-reaching the effort was.

He said the children located by Trump’s team were not simply missing from border facilities but also from private placements, sponsor arrangements, and situations where adults had never been properly screened.

He said a portion of those children had been exploited for labor, taken to work sites, or handed to criminal networks.

He emphasized that the work is ongoing and that new information continues to emerge as agencies reconcile records and cross-check cases.

Homan said the initial tally of more than 62,000 children represents only the portion for which the Trump administration has already completed verification.

Homan credited President Trump directly.

He said, “President Trump again, proves why he’s the greatest president in my lifetime, over 62,000 children rescued by President Trump again, children that were ignored and weren’t being looked for under President Biden.”
