This bill would eliminate the special repatriation requirements for unaccompanied immigrant children who entered the U.S. illegally and are from a country that shares borders with the U.S. (like Canada or Mexico).

The Secretary of State would be authorized to negotiate agreements related to the repatriation of unaccompanied immigrant children with countries that do not share a border with the U.S. as this bill brings all unaccompanied immigrant children under the same process regardless of their country of origin. Under current law the Secretary is only able to negotiate these agreements with countries bordering the U.S.

Any unaccompanied immigrant child who is not a victim of a severe form of human trafficking and does not have a reasonable fear of returning to his or her country, but who is:

In ongoing removal proceedings will have a hearing before an immigration judge within 14 days.
In federal custody will be transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) custody within 30 days.
In HHS or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) custody will have access to legal counsel at no cost to the government.

A previous exception allowing unaccompanied immigrant children who could not reunite with one of their parents to stay in the country legally would be changed so that only those children who can’t reunite with either parent would be allowed to stay.
