The Trump administration has already located about 75-80,000 of the approximately 300,000 migrant children who've gone missing since illegally crossing the U.S. southern border under Joe Biden's term, according to reports.

Fox News host Harris Faulkner on Saturday expressed her shock over reports from border patrol sources that the Trump administration has quickly been able to find and identify about 25% of the missing migrant children only four days after taking office.

"That number has already started to come down from the 300,00. So they've found about 75 to 80,000 of those kids already," Faulkner said.

Faulkner then shredded former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for neglecting his duties under Joe Biden, noting he told Congress he didn't know where the 300,000+ missing children were.

"What in the world was the Biden administration doing? What was Secretary of Homeland Mayorkas doing when he said to the committees on Capitol Hill, 'We don't know where those kids are, we'll look into it'?" she said.

"No, dude, you obviously had a better way to find them and you didn't do your job!" she exclaimed. "I can't believe they impeached him and didn't remove him."

In a separate interview with CBS in December 2024, Mayorkas told host Margaret Brennan that the DHS bears no responsibility for the disappearance of hundreds of thousands of migrant children at the border.

"The incoming border czar, Tom Homan, says these children are being exploited and trafficked. Is that true?" Brennan asked Mayorkas.

"Margaret, we certainly have received reports of children being trafficked, even those as to whom we know where they are," Mayorkas admitted.

"That is outside the responsibility of the Department of Homeland Security," he continued. "What we do is we turn children over within 72 hours, as the law requires, to the Department of Health and Human Services, and then HHS places those children."

Kristi Noem, who was confirmed as Trump's DHS Secretary on Saturday, said one of her top priorities will be "achieving President Trump's mandate from the American people to secure our southern border and fix our broken immigration system."
