Where are the children? Not in press briefings. Not in your hearings. Not in any system the public can meaningfully scrutinize. Immigrant children—especially the most vulnerable, including pregnant minors—are being shuffled, hidden, and effectively erased from view under your watch. That is not a bureaucratic failure. It is a moral collapse. You fund this system. You authorize it. And yet you tolerate a level of opacity that would be unacceptable in any other context involving minors. Who is tracking these children? Where are the records? How many have been transferred, released, or lost? How many are carrying pregnancies while confined, without independent oversight or adequate medical care? “Lost in the system” is not an explanation—it is an indictment. If you cannot account for every child in federal custody, you are presiding over a system that has abandoned its most basic duty: to protect those in its care. And if you know and have chosen silence, then you are complicit in whatever harm is being done behind closed doors. This demands immediate, aggressive action: full public accounting, independent inspections, enforceable standards of care, and the rapid release of children—especially pregnant minors—into safe, supervised, community-based alternatives. No more euphemisms. No more delays. No more disappearing children. Find them. Account for them. Release them. Or answer for it.
