#NEW The Trump administration has rescued more than 62,000 children from trafficking & child labor, Tom Homan says
Border Czar Homan announced that federal agents have located and rescued tens of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children that were lost under the Biden administration's open border policies.
Many of these minors, who were smuggled across the southern border without parents, were victims of s*x trafficking, forced labor, and other forms of severe abuse that Homan described as too horrific to detail publicly.
"I look at the numbers every day,"
"On Friday, I looked at the numbers. There's over 62,000 children found by the Trump administrationโchildren that weren't even being looked for under the Biden administration. President Trump saved over 62,000 children's lives."

The rescues are part of President Trump's promise to track down the 300,000 to 325,000 unaccompanied minors who vanished after being released to unvetted sponsors during the Biden Administration.
Under Biden's open-border approach, whistleblowers and congressional reports documented how these children were handed over to smugglers and traffickers posing as family members. The Biden administration set up a hotline for kids to call, if they needed help. 65,000 calls went unanswered.

Trump had repeatedly warned of the crisis during his 2024 campaign, saying at a rally,
"This is not even possible to believe, 325,000 migrant children are missing, many of whom have been trafficked and r*ped."
Homan detailed what was uncovered in the operations, which involved welfare checks, sponsor investigations, and raids on trafficking networks:
Tens of thousands of children were discovered in active s*x trafficking rings, where they had been forced into commercial s*xual exploitation.
Others were trapped in forced labor schemes, including sweatshops and agricultural fields, denied education and subjected to grueling conditions without pay.
Additional minors endured unspecified mistreatment so severe that Homan wouldn't talk about it on air

"Four years this has happened: sex trafficking at historic highs, children crossing the border at historic highs, migrant deaths crossing the border at historic highs"
"President Trump again proved why he's the greatest president in my lifetime. Over 62,000 children rescued."
Trump's Day One pledge: "We will do everything we can to find every one of these children."
