Sen. James Lankford[1], Oklahoma Republican, insisted Sunday that the administration knows where “every single child is,” refuting reports that agencies have lost track of some children recently separated from their border-crossing families.
“Let me clarify this: We know where every single child is,” Mr. Lankford[2] told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“These are career professionals that work with HHS and that work with DHS and Customs and Border Patrol and ICE,” said Mr. Lankford[3]. “These are not political appointees, these are career folks. They know where every child is to be able to connect them to the parent or the relative they came [with].”
