According to border czar Tom Homan, “thousands” of migrant children who vanished after being trafficked across the US-Mexico border during the Biden administration have been salvaged from dire circumstances, including sexual exploitation by pedophiles. He disclosed that a 14-year-old pregnant girl was discovered cohabiting with adult men just two weeks prior.
In the most recent episode of Miranda Devine’s “Pod Force One” podcast, Homan stated that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have identified minors who were coerced into servitude on ranches and poultry farms, as the agency investigates the whereabouts of hundreds of thousands of migrant children unaccounted for during President Joe Biden’s four-year period of illegal immigration.
Migrant children who went missing after being smuggled across the border under the Biden administration have been rescued from being sex-trafficked to pedophiles, according to border czar Tom Homan.
“There were 300,000 missing children under the last administration,” said Homan. “We’ve found thousands of them … We rescued victims of sex trafficking [and] two weeks ago, we rescued a 14-year-old that was already pregnant, living with adult men …
“We rescued some victims of forced labor. We found children working on ranches and chicken farms, not going to school, but enslaved labor in the United States of America …
“Some of the children we found [were] perfectly fine with their families … They just didn’t respond to call-ins [because they] didn’t want to face the consequences of immigration court.”
The influx of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) into the United States reached unprecedented levels under the Biden administration, as modifications to border enforcement regulations encouraged families and traffickers to transport minors to America.
Over 500,000 youngsters were documented entering the country and were assigned to sponsors while pending immigration processes.
A study from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General in August revealed that the Biden administration mismanaged the whereabouts of hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors and assigned some to potentially hazardous sponsors who had not undergone sufficient vetting.
According to the inspector general, over 31,000 addresses submitted by sponsors were found to be “blank, undeliverable, or lacking flat numbers.” At a specific location, “sponsor addresses were inaccurate 80 percent of the time.”
ICE officials at a specific field office informed the inspector general that several migrant children had been entrusted to sponsors who are neither immediate family members nor parents, siblings, or grandparents.
In 2023, HHS released almost 14,500 migrant children, and in 2024, more than 9,600 were released to unrelated sponsors or distant relatives.
Out of nearly 2,400 children given to sponsors in a single week in November 2023, merely 1,000 were placed with a parent or a legal guardian.
A study from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General last August revealed that the Biden administration misplaced oversight of hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors.
Approximately 300 were allocated to unconnected sponsors or remote relatives. Three children were released to their “spouses,” one of them was 40 years old.
“Although these relatives may have been appropriately qualified, [one ICE officer] noted the UACs most at risk for trafficking or forced labor are those released to an unrelated sponsor.”
During visits to three sponsor addresses to which multiple children had been released, the inspector general found “potentially unsafe conditions” including “bars on the inside of a window” in an area that was “very dangerous, was run by gangs, and had high crime rates and daily shootings. The [ICE officer] noted one UAC within their area of responsibility left their sponsor’s address to join a local gang.”
Another sponsor address was found to be “a rundown apartment complex with appliances stacked on patios and apartments with no doors. Police also reported criminal activities at this location, such as a stabbing and shootings.
“Another sponsor address was a dilapidated motel that did not have a kitchen. UACs’ sponsors provided this address five times.
“During a site visit in another city, ICE officers noted an illegal drug deal occurring based on their law enforcement experience at an apartment complex where 44 UACs had been released in FY 2023.”

Homan told “Pod Force One” that the Biden administration rushed the vetting process to avoid the “optics” of overcrowding at the border.
“They didn’t care about the invasion itself; it was the optics.”
DNA tests were routinely used during the first Trump administration to verify that an adult accompanying a child really was the parent, he said, but the Biden administration abandoned that policy.
Homan said in some of the DNA testing “as high as 30 percent [of] the families weren’t families. Not relatives at all. The [children] were being trafficked…
“A lot of parents paid a smuggling organization to bring their kids [over the border]. Some of these children were trafficked. We know HSI [Homeland Security Investigations] had several investigations where a child was rented by the criminal cartel to an adult male or female, crossed the border [and] when you’re done, you send the kid back [and] re-rent them.”
Homan had harsh words for Democrat politicians like Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) who he said are “screaming and yelling about ICE arresting people and ICE enforcing the law. Meanwhile, in four years under Biden … sex trafficking of women and children skyrocketed, not a word.”
“Thousands of children were being smuggled into the country every week. Over half a million children were smuggled into the United States. Separated from their families, put into the hands of criminal cartels… not a word.”
“We’re going to find every one of these kids,” Homan vowed. “President Trump made a promise. We’re going to keep that promise.”
