Homan exposes sad reality of DREAMers released by Biden and warns that 300,000 are still missing
The border czar announced the discovery of a 14-year-old minor trafficked by two adults and warns that tens of thousands are being exploited for labor.

Tom Homan is not forgetting one of the main goals he set for himself as Border czar: finding the 500,000 minors who were released into the country by Biden after entering illegally and lost track of.
After almost five months in the office, Homan has found evidence that reinforces his allegations against the policies of the previous administration for the harm done to these children and teenagers, since at least 300,000 are still missing and they have found a large number of them victims of sex trafficking and child exploitation.
Victims of trafficking and labor exploitation
In a meeting with the National Republican Lawyers Association, Homan gave as an example of the policies of Biden and Mayorkas the case of a 14-year-old minor, released just two days before the meeting with the lawyers, who had been a victim of sex trafficking by two adults after being a beneficiary of the Democratic unaccompanied minor program.
Homan stressed that these children exemplify who the real victims are and accused the media of trying to criminalize the agents and Trump's policies for trying to prevent minors from falling into the hands of these human trafficking rings or labor exploiters.
"Despite what the media says, we are not heartless, we care about these kids. I’m a father, and the reason I’m so emotional and headstrong on this issue is because I dealt with dying children throughout my career. I have held dying children," he said.
Criticism of Biden administration for lack of research
The border czar also harped on the difficulty agents face in finding the 300,000 minors who remain missing, calling it one of the most difficult the administration must face. "Everyone in this room has a footprint. We can find you. You own a home, car, and pay bills, and we can find you. Children don't have that footprint."
In addition, Breitbart reported that Homan was highly critical of the previous executive's work with regard to minors, noting that many of these arriving minors were not even fingerprinted nor were identities verified. In addition, he lamented that these cases were never properly investigated, leaving his team with an added difficulty years later.
