READ FULL STORYThe U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) and The Children’s Village present chapter eight of Where We Stand: A 20-Year Retrospective of the Unaccompanied Children’s Program in the United States.
The retrospective reviews the Unaccompanied Children’s Program from the passage of the Homeland Security Act (HSA) of 2002 until today. It assesses 20 years of legislation, policies, litigation, and, most importantly, the U.S. federal government’s care of unaccompanied migrating children, with a view toward the next steps and improvements for the years ahead.
The eighth chapter provides recommendations on how to improve the Unaccompanied Children’s Program based on the direct care we provide for children through shelters, home studies and post-release services, trafficking assistance, legal representation, and repatriation in El Salvador and Honduras.
