Carol Platt Liebau: On Behalf of the Children

Thursday, February 19, 2026

Now that Minnesota prisons have begun to notify ICE when illegal immigrants with federal warrants are being released, the ICE surge there is winding down.

During the operation, agents found more than three thousand missing unaccompanied alien children. Over half a million children were smuggled into the United States during Joe Biden’s term. Federal authorities lost track of roughly 300,000 of them.

Some were forced into labor to repay smugglers, with children as young as 13 found in dangerous meat-packing plants. Others were found exploited by traffickers. The Biden administration failed to investigate thousands of human trafficking reports.

The ICE enforcement surges aren’t just about deportations. They’re about rescuing vulnerable children and restoring the rule of law after years of reckless border policies. Accountability matters for America’s sake, and for these exploited children.
