The Trump administration has found 146,000 children; DOJ hopes to prosecute 15,000 illegal sponsor cases.

The data is harrowing.
Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche dropped a bombshell of data on Thursday when he described the Trump administration’s efforts to find hundreds of thousands of missing unaccompanied alien children (UACs).
The case is this: UACs are minors trafficked to the U.S. border and smuggled into the U.S. under the guise of reuniting with family. But in fact what is really happening is that many have been trafficked through a complex network run by transnational criminal organizations.
According to the DOHJ, there are more than 15,500 super-sponsor cases the Department has recognized along with the Department of Homeland Security, Blanche said. Super-sponsor cases implicate individuals who sponsor more than three unrelated UACs. The cases include sexual assault of children, “the stuff of nightmares,” he said.
But wait, there more. Much more.
Markwayne Mullin, the Secretary of Homeland Security said, “When we started digging into these cases, we started hearing the absolutely horrific things that took place under the Biden administration. It was true neglect, at best, and criminal, at worst, to allow 450,000 kids to go missing throughout this country.”
Sec. Mullin on rescuing the hundreds of thousands of missing children brought to the U.S. under Biden: We found 146,000 kids so far. Some of these kids claimed that they were raped over 600 times.

But thanks to Congress funding federal immigration enforcement over the next three years, Mullin said, “We’re able to push and go find these kids.”
But the case is far from over, Mullin said. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, DHS, the DOJ and other agencies have found 146,000 UACs, Mullin said. “We still have nearly 300,000 missing.”
“We’re investigating reports” in response to children claiming “they’ve been raped 600 to 700 times,” he said.
“I don’t care who you are. I don’t care if you have kids, you don’t have kids. I don’t care if you’re a liberal, you’re an Independent, you’re a Democrat, you’re a Republican. If you can’t stand for law enforcement to go find these kids, who are you?”
