President Donald Trump said on Friday that immigration authorities have recovered about 10,000 migrant children who he claims went missing during President Joe Biden’s tenure. Speaking at a public event, Trump asserted that roughly 300,000 children had disappeared under the previous administration and that federal agencies are "getting them back by the thousands" with plans to locate many more. Trump credited U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the rescues and vowed to intensify the search. Border Czar Tom Homan echoed the president’s remarks, stating that officers "have already found 10,000" children and are continuing efforts to track down the remainder.
