(NewsNation) — A new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report argues the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) cannot account for unaccompanied immigrant children at the border.
On Aug. 19, the DHS published a 14-page report revealing more than 32,000 unaccompanied children did not attend their immigration hearings between the fiscal years of 2019 and 2023.
What’s more, nearly 300,000 of these kids that came across the southern border alone never even got a court date whatsoever.
Essentially, Border Patrol doesn’t have anything to do with these young children. Instead, ICE retains the responsibility to walk through the immigration process with these children.
