Homan: Lax ORR Sponsor Vetting Left Authorities Chasing Missing Migrant Kids; HSI Rescuing Thousands

White House border czar Tom Homan said inadequate vetting of adult sponsors by HHS/ORR under the Biden administration left authorities with few leads to locate missing unaccompanied migrant children. He cited missing fingerprint checks and unverifiable addresses, warning the lapses increased risks of sex and labor trafficking, and said HSI teams have rescued thousands while locating roughly 10,000 children. The remarks align with recent reports and oversight findings flagging weak sponsor vetting and child safety concerns.
