White House Says Democrats Would Gut ICE as 150,000 Migrant Children Remain Missing

Summary
146,000 migrant children missing during the Biden administration have been found since Trump took office, the White House said, while arguing Democrats now want to abolish ICE and cut rescue-related funding.
150,000 children are still missing, according to the administration, and HHS data shows a backlog of more than 65,000 uninvestigated migrant child-trafficking reports.
Abigail Jackson cast Democratic calls to abolish ICE as a direct threat to child-recovery efforts, citing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's remarks that immigration law is civil law "like getting a parking ticket."
The administration says ICE has been central to locating trafficked and abused children, framing the issue as part of a broader fight over Biden-era border policies and Democratic support for mass migration.
