Migrant children abandoned at US border

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : In response to the report, ICE said it would send an alert telling officers to start using it.
45% : But earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General shockingly revealed that over the past five years, more than 32,000 unaccompanied minors did not show up for immigration court hearings - and Immigration and Customs Enforcement was 'not able to account' for their locations.
43% : The agency was not required to alert HHS when a child failed to show up, despite the department creating an email inbox for ICE to notify them when a child is a no-show at a deportation hearing.
38% : It noted that the Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for placing migrant children with sponsors, but the agency lost track of tens of thousands of them after the children and their sponsors stopped responding.ICE, which is responsible for putting the children through immigration hearings, did not follow up with them either.
