flag ICE's 2026 claim of 3,364 missing migrant minors in Minnesota is disputed; state records show only 616 reported missing, with critics saying the figure includes those released to sponsors.

flag In February 2026, ICE claimed to have located 3,364 unaccompanied migrant minors during Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota, but the figure is disputed, as state records show only 616 missing children reported that year. flag Critics argue the number includes minors released to sponsors and later lost contact with authorities, not truly missing children. flag The operation also led to the arrest of about 4,000 undocumented immigrants, including those with serious crimes. flag Federal enforcement efforts faced political pushback, and questions remain over how the children were identified and the definition of "missing" used by ICE.
