Now we can see who the progressive protestors defend. And we hope the children are on there way to being united with their families.

Where does the truth lie? I saw Noem on Meet the Press and Homan on CNN and found their interviews, individually and collectively, to be among the most untrustworthy statements I've ever heard.
Then there are media accounts and accounts from the opposing party.
The truth? Somewhere in between. I'll acknowledge that up to 10% of what you posted may be fair and accurate.
The most dubious? Reuniting the children with families. Smoke em out and an ship em out is more accurate.

It took a long time for the reality OF the Hunter Biden laptop disinformation hoax, the Russia Russia Russia hoaz, the Steele dossier, and the border crisis (safe, secure, and closed) and Joe Biden's mental state (sharp as a tack, vigorous, hard to keep up with) to register with a lot of Democrats. It's take time. Compare the pro-life protests to the protests against ICE for starters::

As to unaccompanied minors, by definition that means they have no legal parent or guardian in the United States. So yes they deport the children to their home countries. Realize that the human trafficking rose to levels not seen in this country since the Civil War, and it is a tragedy and not easy to remedy. The problem was the Biden administration didn't track hundreds of thousands of children, they even dropped the DNA tests that were present under the Trump administration. So Homeland Security doesn't have even a place to start for so many of the children. They try and follow leads but their presence is often tipped off by liberals.

There is too much fiction in your post for me to search with a fine toothed comb hunting for possible truths.
Beginning with Hunter Biden--a complete nothingburger of a story.
I know you believe them to be true, and I respect your sincerity, but much of what is alleged has been thorughly investigated and found wanting.

It really was Hunter Biden's laptop. Check it out for yourself.

He wasa consultant. His father was out of politics most of the time. During the short time he had left as vice president he was at the bedside of his other son Beau, heartbroken as he slowly died of a deadly brain tumor.
Republicans invented a bizarre story about a plot for the Bidens to get a few million dollars, or what Trump and Musk would call lunch money. As if a man who is spending most of the time in the hospital with his older son, not planning on running again, would be engaged in some sort of clandestine Monkey Business with Ukraine.
While there are some politicians who could think about building their fortune and power at a time like that, Biden always put Family First because he was kind, compassionate, and empathetic, qualities of character that are more valuable than owning a string of hotels. And that is why, despite spending 45 million looking for misdeeds, Republicans were unable to find any.

The government knew the Hunter Biden laptop was fake, and put out a false story in order to make sure Trump was defeated. That's interference in a presidential election and a violation of the people's trust by using government resources for political purposes.

Oh boy, rehashing ancient history is fun and all, but Trump got his second term, so isn’t this all moot?

After 4:years of Trump we were drowning in such vile corruption that an alleged Biden misdeed seemed as inconsequential as a Boy Scout forgetting to help an old lady cross the street.

The big story was the executive branch used taxpayer money to collude with social media in order to influence an election.

Dwarfed by the gigantic, numerous stories of the Trump Administration doing much worse.

Who was president when "the government" put out a false story to get Donald John defeated?
