Homan Says 157,000 Missing Unaccompanied Immigrant Children Located

Around 157,000 children who crossed the border as unaccompanied minors have been found since the start of the Trump administration while many are still missing, White House border czar Tom Homan told The Epoch Times.

In an interview with senior editor Jan Jekielek for "American Thought Leaders," airing on Sept. 26, he said that just under half a million children were "smuggled" into the United States during the Biden administration.

Homan said officials at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) at the time were proud of the fact that children weren't in detention for long.

"They weren't [held] very long, but the problem is they released them quickly because the sponsors weren't properly vetted," he said, and with caretakers not responding to communications or check-ins, that caused the government to lose track of nearly 300,000 of the children.

Homan said that when President Donald Trump asked him to return to the federal government under his second administration, one of the top directives he was given was to address the problem of missing children.

"He asked me to do three things: secure the border, run deportation operations, and find these kids."

The border czar said he was much more optimistic about the first two directives than he was about finding the children, because his team would have to count on the digital footprint of the sponsors, based on information provided by the sponsors.

"We can find you, we can find me. We own homes, we own cars, we have credit cards. We can find us because we all have a digital footprint. Children don't," Homan said.

Some Democrats on Capitol Hill have objected to the treatment of unaccompanied minors after they've been located.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) condemned the current administration in June for plans to deport some of the children back to Mexico.

"You have been entrusted with the care and safety of the children placed within the [Office of Refugee Resettlement] network," Wyden said in a letter to the HHS. "Proceeding with this plan knowingly endangers their lives and violates your duty to these vulnerable children."

When officials began searching for the children, they learned that many of the sponsors had given the wrong information, such as home addresses that turned out to be supermarkets, parking lots, or churches. False names had been used for identification, and locating where the children actually were proved to be a massive undertaking.

Homan told The Epoch Times that of the roughly 157,000 children who have been found, more than 20 have died - some due to natural causes, and others from a drug overdose or as a result of violence.

The work isn't done, however, and he said he intends to find every one of the 140,000 still missing children, even those who have aged out of the system.

"Just because you're 18 and 19 doesn't mean they're not in forced labor or sex trafficking, so we're going to keep running down every one of these leads until we find them," the border czar said.

In 40 years of working at the border Homan has seen many victims of human trafficking, but one in particular broke his heart. He said he'll never forgot a 9-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted while making the journey to the United States years ago: "That little girl's never going to be the same again."

"Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime. You don't come across the border without approval and paying off the cartels," he said. "A lot of women and children are sexually assaulted making that journey."

Last month, HHS announced that the Trump administration had located more than 148,000 unaccompanied illegal immigrant children who had been missing after being released into the care of someone in the United States.

A statement from the Department of Homeland Security last November announced an initiative partnering with local law enforcement to conduct welfare checks on the lost children.

Homan told The Epoch Times that despite the monumental task of finding the still missing children, "We're not giving up."

"President Trump has promised that we're going to look at this until the last day of the administration, and the American people can have my word that we're going to do that."

Supreme Court Again Rejects Missouri Congressional Map Backed By Republicans

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to let Missouri Republicans run November's House races on the 2025 map that would have given them a 7-1 edge in the state's delegation, leaving in place the 2022 lines, which split the eight seats 6-2.

The court's unsigned, five-page opinion in People Not Politicians v. Onder drew no dissents. "In short, as a matter of state law, the 2022 map - not the 2025 map - must be used in the 2026 congressional election," the justices wrote.

The fight has run through three courts in a month. Missouri's Aug. 4 primaries, run by Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, were held on the 2025 lines. On Sept. 3, the Missouri Supreme Court unanimously ordered the 2022 map for November, and county clerks began mailing military and overseas ballots on it. On Sept. 21, an Eighth Circuit panel ordered the 2025 map restored, ruling that holding the general election on different districts than the primary would violate the Constitution. People Not Politicians, the group opposing the 2025 map and seeking a referendum on it, asked the justices to step in the next night.

As The Epoch Times notes further,

In the high court's new opinion, the justices summed up the legal theory argued by the federal plaintiffs - Rep. Bob Onder (R-Mo.), Republican congressional nominee Rick Brattin, and two Republican voters.

Their argument was that three parts of the U.S. Constitution - Article I, Section 2, which establishes the fundamental rules governing the U.S. House of Representatives, the Elections Clause, and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment - combine to forbid Missouri from using different congressional maps in the primary and general elections.

The justices did not reject Onder's constitutional theory. Instead, they said they did not have to rule on it.

"On the merits, the Court's precedents have not previously stated that Article I, Section 2 requires a state to use the primary election map in a general election, and given that the equities heavily favor staying this late-breaking intervention, it suffices that the merits are not entirely clearcut."

In other words, the justices did not hold that using different maps in the primary and general elections is constitutional. They held that the claim was too unsettled - and the election too far along - to justify an injunction.

The justices then turned to the Purcell principle, the doctrine that federal courts should not change a state's election rules close to an election. The justices said the principle "applies with even greater force here" because the election "is not merely upcoming; it has already started."

Local election officials told the courts it was "practically impossible to revert" to the 2025 map. "At this late date, ordering reversion to the 2025 map in the midst of an ongoing election would usher in electoral chaos. Purcell protects against such disorder."

The Eighth Circuit argued the opposite: that Purcell favored the 2025 map because that was the map used in the August primary, and that the Missouri Supreme Court's Sept. 3 ruling constituted the last-minute disruption.

The justices said that federal courts' interpretation of Purcell was incorrect because Purcell constrains federal courts, not states.

"Even though federal courts should not impose changes close to an election, States are free to decide for themselves whether last-minute changes to an election are in their best interests," the justices said, quoting Allen v. Milligan (2023).

The Missouri Supreme Court, the justices added, was not the source of the late change. In opinions issued in May 2026 - months before the primaries - the state high court had already said the 2025 map would not take effect unless voters approved it in a referendum, as long as the petition calling for it was legally sufficient.

Hoskins "was well aware that conducting the August primary election with the 2025 map carried significant risks," the justices said.

"The Secretary nonetheless chose to proceed with the 2025 map for the primary."
