Government records show discrepancy in apprehensions and court receipts.
The Department of Justice does not have receipts for more than half of the unaccompanied alien children apprehended at the southwest border by Border Patrol since the start of Fiscal Year 2013, government records show.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection data show more than 85,000 total apprehensions of unaccompanied alien children during fiscal year 2013 and fiscal year 2014 through June. Information from the same time period provided to National Review Online by the DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration Review shows 41,592 total receipts marked as juvenile in immigration courts. Kathryn Mattingly, spokesperson for EOIR, tells NRO the receipts refer to new Notices to Appear (NTA)—the document the Department of Homeland Security uses to charge an illegal immigrant with being removable from the United States.
EOIR has recorded 20,814 receipts marked as juvenile in fiscal year 2014 as of June 30, but Border Patrol recorded 57,525 apprehensions of unaccompanied alien children during the same time frame. This means immigration courts only have receipts for fewer than four out of every ten unaccompanied alien children apprehended by Border Patrol this fiscal year. Mattingly said EOIR stands behind the numbers of receipts it has recorded, but would not speak about the difference between the number of juvenile receipts and CBP’s apprehension data.
Within DHS, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services have the authority to charge unaccompanied alien children. An ICE spokesperson declined to comment on this story and a USCIS spokesperson referred questions to DHS, which did not respond to requests for comment. A CBP spokesperson responded to NRO’s requests in an email with a link to apprehension data publicly available on CBP’s website, but did not provide comment about the number of NTAs issued to illegal immigrant children.
Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, tells NRO it is difficult to determine how much of the discrepancy in apprehensions and receipts appears deliberate and the how much resulted because federal officials were overwhelmed with work. “But I think it’s really willful negligence on the part of DHS leadership to allow this already dysfunctional system to become even more overwhelmed,” she says. “It’s just like deliberate chaos.”
Immigration courts have completed only 9,630 cases marked as juvenile in fiscal year 2014, government data shows, despite more than 20,000 juvenile receipts recorded and more than 57,000 UAC apprehensions made in fiscal year 2014 as of June 30, 2014. Mattingly tells NRO it’s important to remember that some of the juvenile cases completed this year may have been first brought in previous years. Not all of the cases completed in fiscal year 2014 were brought in fiscal year 2014.
Part of the discrepancy between the numbers of apprehensions and receipts in the month of June 2014 may be attributable to a new policy implemented by ICE in that same month. The policy makes ICE attorneys wait to file immigration court proceedings until after the Department of Health and Human Services notifies ICE that the unaccompanied juvenile has been placed with a sponsor, or 60 days elapse, ICE spokesperson Virginia Kice has previously told NRO. She said the policy is intended to free up immigration courts’ dockets by eliminating the need for change of venue hearings. While the new policy could explain some of the discrepancy for the month of June 2014, it does not apply to the discrepancy for the previous months of fiscal year 2014 and for the entirety of fiscal year 2013.
No federal official NRO contacted or spoke with provided an explanation as to why the discrepancy exists among apprehensions of unaccompanied alien children and receipts for juveniles.

Have you ever went to a very large function and are trying to find out where you belong are what you are suppose to do etc, the chaos there is, and the mess and confusion etc. WELL that’s exactly where this Country is on every level, every Department. From the boy at the top, to the person who takes the calls. You do that with millions of people and you have serious problems. We are in serious trouble whether intentionally are not. Only going to escalate hourly.
Competency isn’t required for government work.
A few years ago, I read a story about at least one agency that is not keeping accurate records and is not issuing reports. I believe it was refugee-related.
This was awhile back. Makes sense now, in a perverse fashion.
Who expected anything Washington does to be well managed? If ICE doesn’t keep good records of those entering the country, why would any other department?
It is a reflection from the top....the president.
Libs believe that parents have abandoned their children because they can see themselves doing the same.
Lack of a paper trail is part of the plan; they are not supposed to be found.
“Oh come on, they just come here for a better life..
Its an act of LOVE.
They are hard working....patriotic.... social conservative
Just like we want in our party”
I agree. And yet, an American woman may go to jail for letting her 7 yo son(with a cell phone) walk to a park 6 blocks from his house. Would I do that - no. Was that IMHO a smart thing to do - no. However, I don’t know how safe her neighborhood is, how many times she had walked with him, counseled him, etc. I remember going across the street and down about a 1/2 block or so when I was 9 to play on playground equipment at a school. Of course, I think things were much safer for everyone then.

Observing the teen and pre-teen "children" riding atop freight trains and swarming at the border...being hyped as "innocent unaccompanied minors."
...we should keep in mind it is very common in these savage hellholes for young children to be members of gangs and cartels.....who are trained to use deadly weapons....
.....and are apparently planning to use them ....on us.

THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL: USCIS rubber-stamper Leon Rodriguez, a recent Obama appointee, oversees the legitimization of the border swarm. Moreover, Rodriguez administers EB-5 visas as head of USCIS (A DHS agency).....EB-5's are said to involve major threats to US national security.

And yet again, those that supposedly work for We the People, think we are stupid: ‘No explanation as to...”
Of course there are those of us whom understand: a leviathan gov’t who’s far eclipsed the constraints of the Constitution, as well as the upcoming (and future) elections. Oh, can’t forget the cheap labor to drive down U.S. wages per Commerce and their ‘buddies’....
Maybe the harddrive they were on got “recycled”? This administration is replete with degenerate liars.
