In addition, the report notes that ICE has failed to serve notices to appear (NTAs) in court to nearly 300,000 children, who therefore may be lost to government tracking: &ldquo;As of May 2024, ICE had not served NTAs on more than 291,000 UCs who therefore do not yet have an immigration court date.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The 32,000 children ICE knows it lost have failed to appear for their immigration court hearings. It&rsquo;s a conservative estimate. They come to the border without parents or guardians and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is supposed to find sponsors for them in the United States while they await immigration hearings.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, as the Washington Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2024\/aug\/20\/dhs-loses-track-of-32000-migrant-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> on Tuesday, HHS &ldquo;lost track of tens of thousands of them after the children and sponsors stopped replying.&rdquo; The alert shows Biden&rsquo;s Immigration and Customs Service (ICE), the Department Homeland Security agency responsible for deportation hearings, has repeatedly failed to follow up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;More than 90,000 of these UCs [foreign children] without NTAs crossed the border in 2021 and still do not have a date to appear in court,&rdquo; says the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cia-docs-reveal-multiple-employees-and-contractors-were-never-prosecuted-for-child-sex-crimes\/\" title=\"CIA Docs Reveal Multiple Employees and Contractors Were Never Prosecuted for Child Sex Crimes\">inspector general alert<\/a>. In <em>every<\/em> ICE location the inspector general&rsquo;s team visited, ICE enforcement officers couldn&rsquo;t serve these notices to all unaccompanied children the location was responsible for, because they couldn&rsquo;t find all of them. One ICE location visited couldn&rsquo;t account for 84 percent of the illegally present alien children for which it was responsible.<\/p>\n<p>The more than 291,000 unaccompanied children who haven&rsquo;t been served NTAs in the last four fiscal years don&rsquo;t even have a scheduled court date. The report notes that the number of children who did not appear for their court date likely would have been significantly higher had ICE issued notice to appear papers to the 291,000 not placed into removal proceedings. <\/p>\n<p>Not issuing notices to appear limits ICE&rsquo;s opportunities to verify the minors&rsquo; safety, the report notes. The massive lack of these notices and subsequent court dates suggests the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mark-levin-uses-6th-grad-econ-test-to-show-harris-why-her-inflation-plan-wont-work\/\" title=\"Mark Levin Uses 6th Grad Econ Test to Show Harris Why Her Inflation Plan Won&#039;t Work\">federal government doesn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t know where many of these nearly 300,000 migrant children are, and whether they&rsquo;re safe or trafficked.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;By not issuing NTAs to all UCs [unaccompanied foreign children], ICE limits its chances of having contact with UCs when they are released from HHS&rsquo; custody, which reduces opportunities to verify their safety. Without an ability to monitor the location and status of UCs, ICE has no assurance UCs are safe from trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor,&rdquo; the alert states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Inspector General Joseph Cuffari urged U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to &ldquo;take immediate action to ensure the safety of [Unaccompanied Children] residing in the United States.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Border Czar&rsquo;s Big Problem&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>The report is just the latest documentation of disastrous Biden-Harris open border policies. Over the past three and a half years, more than 8.1 million illegal immigrants have flooded over the southern border, with approximately 10 million illegal alien encounters nationwide, according to conservative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/stats\/southwest-land-border-encounters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">estimates <\/a>by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. <\/p>\n<p>Senate Republicans have called on the Biden administration&rsquo;s Office of Refugee Resettlement to reform its policies on unaccompanied alien children, part of which allows the separated kids to be sent to &ldquo;unvetted, potentially criminal sponsors.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;&hellip;ORR does not even consider a sponsor&rsquo;s criminal record, current illegal drug use, history of abuse or neglect, or other child welfare concerns &lsquo;necessarily disqualifying to potential sponsorship.&rsquo;&hellip;&nbsp; In effect, ORR accepts a sponsor&rsquo;s representations almost entirely on face value,&rdquo; 38 senators wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grassley.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/grassley_et_al_to_marcos_and_hild_-_orr_proposed_rule.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">letter<\/a> in December to the Health and Human Services agency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Early in his presidency, Biden made Harris his &ldquo;Border Czar,&rdquo; a title the accomplice media adopted and embraced until it became uncomfortable for Harris as Democrats&rsquo; presidential candidate. It&rsquo;s uncomfortable because Biden&rsquo;s No. 2 has been a colossal failure at dealing with a disaster that she helped create. <\/p>\n<p>So, when she became the presumptive presidential nominee, the administration and corporate media outlets began emphasizing Harris&rsquo; idiotic mission to &ldquo;address the root causes of migration.&rdquo; While the vice president was loathe to visit the border, it should have been easy enough to determine the root causes of migration, especially when the architect of open borders called on asylum seekers to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/03\/07\/politics\/kfile-biden-2-million-migrants-asylum-seekers-immigration-crisis\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;surge&rdquo;<\/a> the border while campaigning for the White House. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We could afford to take in a heartbeat another two million,&rdquo; Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.temi.com\/editor\/t\/5atmf_-DZs6KKPW4nCClWwraC-JsHhxhxAHEzhQPP8-2fJBDyLB_NUmJxxL5mwQFH1Un6-T1RN-OxfzuxsgAS7wvfio?loadFrom=Dashboard&amp;openShareModel=False\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> during an event in August 2019.

But Harris and the Democrats are trying to hide in plain sight their abysmal record on the border, national security, and public safety, with a tougher-talking platform that, <a href=\"https:\/\/truthout.org\/articles\/in-2024-platform-democrats-lurch-right-on-policing-and-immigration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to<\/a> leftist publication Truthout, &ldquo;evinces a disturbing rightward lurch for Democrats on immigration and policing.&rdquo; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If the overwhelming majority of voters concerned about illegal immigration aren&rsquo;t fooled by the phony Kamala Harris makeover, the far-left vice president will be eating her feelings, fingers coated in nacho cheese powder, as she stares down a near-empty bag of Doritos and a resounding victory for Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Matt Kittle is a senior elections correspondent for The Federalist.

Although she celebrated her victory in the U.S. Senate, she was deeply affected by Donald Trump\u2019s win in the presidential election. In a recent fundraising email, Harris admitted, \u201cI didn\u2019t share a single chip with anyone\u2014not even [second gentleman] Doug [Emhoff]. I just sat there watching TV in complete shock and dismay.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Is Harris similarly shocked and troubled by the recent report from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Inspector General revealing that the Biden-Harris administration has lost track of hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrant children, many at risk for trafficking or exploitation? This week, it seems she&#8217;s too busy enjoying herself at her Democratic National Committee event in Chicago to reflect on these tragic outcomes stemming from her border policies. If she paused to consider these serious issues, she might find herself needing more than just a few bags of Party Size Doritos and some Chardonnay to cope with her emotions.<\/p>\n<p>The Inspector General&#8217;s Management Alert dated August 19 criticized the administration for losing track of over 32,000 unaccompanied children between fiscal years 2019 and 2023\u2014most during President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris&#8217;s tenure. The report also highlighted that ICE has failed to issue notices to appear (NTAs) in court for nearly 300,000 children who may now be lost from government oversight: \u201cAs of May 2024, ICE had not served NTAs on more than 291,000 unaccompanied minors who therefore do not yet have an immigration court date.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The known loss of those 32,000 children means they did not show up for their immigration hearings\u2014a conservative estimate since they arrive at the border without parents or guardians while HHS is supposed to find sponsors for them as they await their hearings.<\/p>\n<p>However, as reported by the Washington Times recently, HHS &#8220;lost track&#8221; of tens of thousands after both children and sponsors stopped responding. The alert indicates that Biden\u2019s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), responsible for deportation hearings under DHS oversight, has repeatedly failed to follow up adequately.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than 90,000 unaccompanied minors crossed into the U.S. without NTAs in place during 2021 alone,\u201d states the inspector general&#8217;s alert. During visits to various ICE locations by inspectors general teams found enforcement officers unable to serve notices due to being unable to locate all unaccompanied minors; one location could not account for as much as 84 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The over-291 thousand unaccompanied minors lacking NTAs over four fiscal years do not even have scheduled court dates; if notices had been issued properly it is likely many more would have missed their hearings.<\/p>\n<p>Not issuing these notices limits ICE\u2019s ability to ensure these children&#8217;s safety according to the report which emphasizes how this lack suggests federal authorities are unaware where many migrant children are located or whether they are safe or victims of trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>Inspector General Joseph Cuffari urged immediate action from ICE \u201cto ensure safety\u201d among Unaccompanied Children residing within America.<\/p>\n<p>This report adds another layer documenting failures linked with Biden-Harris open border policies which have seen over eight million illegal immigrants cross into America through its southern border within three-and-a-half years\u2014conservative estimates suggest around ten million encounters nationwide according U.S Customs Border Protection data.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Republicans have called upon Biden\u2019s Office Refugee Resettlement (ORR) reform its approach towards unaccompanied alien kids allowing separated youths sent off potentially dangerous sponsors without proper vetting processes regarding criminal backgrounds or histories related abuse\/neglect concerns\u201438 senators expressed this concern via letter addressed Health Human Services agency last December stating ORR does not view such records disqualifying enough against potential sponsorships leading them accept sponsor claims almost entirely based face value alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Early during his presidency Joe Biden appointed Kamala Harris his &#8220;Border Czar,&#8221;
