(Worthy News) – White House border czar Tom Homan said on Dec. 7 that the Trump administration has located more than 60,000 children who were illegally smuggled into the United States—many of whom were rescued from sex trafficking, forced labor, and other forms of abuse.
Speaking on Fox & Friends, Homan said the prior administration “lost track of 300,000” migrant children who were released to “unvetted sponsors.” Since President Donald Trump took office, 62,000 of those minors had been found as of Dec. 5, he said, adding that some cases involved mistreatment he “can’t discuss.”
Homan said Trump has directed federal agencies to “find every one of these children,” crediting recent operations with saving “over 62,000 children’s lives.”
A Dec. 5 statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported continued declines in border encounters—30,367 nationwide in November, slightly down from October. The agency also said it has released “zero illegal aliens” into the country for seven consecutive months.
CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott highlighted the contrast with December 2024—President Joe Biden’s final month in office—when more than 301,000 encounters were recorded at the southwest border. September 2025 saw just 11,600 such encounters.
The administration’s aggressive enforcement push aligns with Trump’s 2024 campaign promises and includes emergency declarations at the border, terrorism designations for criminal gangs, and federal operations targeting illegal immigration in major cities.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a challenge to Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants. Democrats have opposed the policy, with some lawmakers proposing bans on federal funding to enforce it.
In a separate move last week, the administration paused all immigration applications—including green cards—for citizens of 19 nations currently under a travel ban. The directive follows sweeping policy changes after the recent shooting of two National Guard troops.
USCIS listed affected countries including Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, and others.
