What happened to all those unaccompanied minors under a bridge? No one knows and the statistics are massively wrong.
DOJ has a "juvenile file" purporting to show all underage illegal border-crossers, but comparing it to a court docket that hears similar cases, 90% are missing.
Some names on the juvenile list, meanwhile, are actually listed as being over 18. DOJ indicated that it doesn't use outside sources to verify age, and didn't explain the discrepancy.
Syracuse University's TRAC got a master file monthly, and realized that many asylum cases were simply disappearing. Its warnings were ignored by DOJ.
“The public should be increasingly troubled by the indifference that the Immigration Courts have shown to these issues," it said.
A third issue with the data is a technical change that occurred in late 2018 and which gave a "misleading" impression that the immigration backlog is not as large as it is, by causing the data to imply that migrants had been deported when they may have actually stayed.

Supt. Scott Ziegler notoriously said there had been zero bathroom assaults
He then apologized for his "misleading" statement by saying he thought the question referred *only to transgender and gender-fluid students*.
But if this isn't gender-fluid, then what is?
He didn't say, 'oh, there was one kid that was wearing all-girls clothes 20 days ago, but his mom says he identifies as male.' He smugly lectured parents, citing Time Magazine to say that what they were concerned about "doesn't exist."
The teachers union that claims there's a "school to prison pipeline" and wants to dismantle discipline in schools wants to flush away the life of a teenager who a jury of his peers conclusively determined was guilty of no crime.
Reminder: Rittenhouse was a child like the 60 million others in the public school system, and the top teacher in the country wanted him to send him to prison even after a jury painstakingly reviewed all evidence and concluded he committed no crime.
BIG: Terry McAuliffe's former law firm and the National School Boards Association are pushing (through a case they want to take to the Supreme Court) for an interpretation of Title IX that is less favorable to victims and more favorable to administrators
Loudoun County blamed Title IX for its rape coverup, saying it would lobby Washington to make the law more favorable to victims. But Terry McAuliffe's former law firm and the NSBA (which likened parents to domestic terrorists) are actually pushing for the opposite.
On one side is the NSBA, Fairfax County Public Schools, and its attorney Hunton Andrews (where McAuliffe worked until his campaign).
On the other side is a public interest law firm and 23 women's and civil rights groups.
Hunton lost, but wants to take it to the Supreme Court.
NEW ON LOUDOUN: Over a period of years, Loudoun repeatedly failed to disclose sex assault incidents to the state and public despite law. A state database shows "0" during multiple time periods where highly-public incidents happened.
NEW ON LOUDOUN: Three weeks after bathroom rape, the superintendent claimed "to my knowledge, we don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms" -- but state law requires principals to report all sex assaults to the superintendent.
As Loudoun schools sought to pass a controversial transgender policy in June, it concealed that a 9th-grade girl was allegedly raped by a "gender fluid" student in a school bathroom just 3 weeks prior, The Daily Wire has learned.
In June, LCPS lectured the public for worrying about a "red herring," saying the district had 0 bathroom assaults on record. It quietly transferred the boy charged in the May 28 assault to a new school.
October 6, he was arrested for a new sex assault inside a classroom there.
The father of the victim is a man you've seen: The bald man being dragged by the police.
The county's top elected prosecutor personally tried to put him in jail. He was issued a no-trespassing order keeping him from telling his story at the meeting where the trans policy passed.
The two national teachers unions have donated a combined $1 million to McAuliffe's campaign for Virginia governor.
The law firm, Hunton Andrews Kurth, has been paid $8M since 2019 to do what the mom says is Fairfax County Public Schools' dirty work fighting against parents.
1,400 pages of billing records show Hunton advocating for the interest of the school system as it was found responsible for violating environmental regulations; apparently negotiating with foreign hackers after student data was stolen in a ransomware attack;
