Border Patrol Chief for California’s El Centro sector Gregory Bovino said Friday on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” that some of the children found during U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE’s) raid in California are part of the 300,000 migrant children who went missing under the Biden administration.
On Thursday, ICE took over a marijuana farm in Southern California, executing a search warrant, with officials rescuing 10 juvenile illegal migrants, eight of whom were unaccompanied. While discussing the rioting and chaos that ensued during the raid, Fox’s Laura Ingraham asked Bovino what is known so far about the children, as U.S. Customs and Border Protection has released images of the juveniles.
“The juveniles that you see in that picture, several of them are not sponsored. Several came across the border, at least under the research that we found a few years ago, and they disappeared. You talked about the children that disappear,” Bovino said. “These are those children that have disappeared, the 300,000 children that have disappeared. You’re seeing it real time right here.”
“This is what is happening to some of those children. I believe one of the children may have been, at least at this point in the investigation, accompanied, but the rest that you see in that picture were unaccompanied juveniles, including that 14-year-old,” Bovino added. “What happens to these children? Where do they live? And what conditions are they put under, both at work and then when they’re not working? A lot of questions here.”
