This legislation aims to enhance oversight and placement procedures for unaccompanied alien children, directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to amend federal regulations by striking a specific paragraph related to sponsors. This amendment seeks to refine the criteria or process for identifying suitable sponsors for these minors. A primary focus of the bill is to expand the duties of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) . ORR would be required to diligently track every unaccompanied alien child released from Department of Homeland Security custody who remains in the United States and is involved in ongoing immigration proceedings. The legislation also mandates ORR to actively collaborate with individual states to identify and secure suitable placements for these vulnerable children, ensuring their well-being during their time in the U.S. legal system.
