US EditionSuit challenges new rules on children in federal custody who crossed into US
- On Thursday, a pair of migrant advocacy organizations initiated legal action in federal court in Washington, D.C., aiming to block new vetting policies introduced by the Trump Administration concerning the reunification of unaccompanied children entering the United States.
- The lawsuit arose after the administration changed in February through April its sponsor review process, requiring identification or income proof only legally present persons can provide, delaying reunifications.
- The updated vetting procedures led to a dramatic increase in the average duration children remained in custody, rising from just over a month in January to nearly four months by March, prompting advocates to argue that these added requirements prolong family separations and are cruel.
- Neha Desai of National Center for Youth Law said these policy shifts form a "broader unraveling of a bi-partisan, decades-long commitment," while Democracy Forward's Skye Perryman called them a reversal bringing "fear, prolonged detention, and bureaucratic cruelty."
- Advocates seek a court order to restore prior reunification rules as the increased scrutiny and delays undermine children's safety and leave many families waiting indefinitely, exemplified by an 8-year-old stranded for 11 months.
