In more than 30,000 cases, ICE doesn’t even have an address where the children were supposed to be because HHS left that information blank.

There’s a solution to this problem. Fire the inspectors general.

But they said they’re not really missing because no one is looking for them

But Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, policy director at the American Immigration Council, a migrant advocacy group, told the BBC the figures are indicative of a bureaucratic "paperwork issue" rather than "anything nefarious".

"When you hear the phrase 'missing', you think that there is a child that someone is trying to find and can't," he said.

"That's not the case here. The government has not made any effort to find these children."
