  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

An audit by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has revealed that there are tens of thousands of migrant children unaccounted for and many are vulnerable to being victims of human trafficking, exploitation and forced labor.

Published Aug.19, the audit contains the findings of an examination by the agency’s Office of Inspector General into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations between fiscal years 2019 to 2023.

During this period, the report reveals that ICE processed 448,000 unaccompanied migrant children, referred to in the report as “UCs.” Of those, over 32,000 unaccompanied children failed to appear at their scheduled immigration court hearings after being released to their “sponsors.”
