Senator Kirk says 400-plus kids from Mexican border crisis are in Chicago

The Chicago Tribune reports:

Sen. Mark Kirk said today that 429 unaccompanied minors from the Mexican border crisis are in Chicago in the custody of a federal agency, and he wants to know if any of the children have criminal records.

Kirk, an Illinois Republican, said the children are in the custody of the Health and Human Services Department. His news release did not say where the children are being housed.

In the release, Kirk also said the State Department is “unable to confirm if any of these individuals has a criminal record or background.”

The great moments of the Cook County Democrat party.
