Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
This bill changes how the federal government handles children who enter the U.S. without a parent or legal guardian. It tells the Office of Refugee Resettlement to keep track of each child after they leave Department of Homeland Security custody, as long as the child is still in the U.S. and has an active immigration case. It also directs the office to work with states to find placements for these children. In addition, it orders Homeland Security to remove a specific rule in federal regulations related to sponsors for unaccompanied minors.
