Bicameral bill strengthens standards to ensure safety and well-being of migrant children prioritized<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington, D.C. \u2013 Oregon\u2019s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley and U.S. Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA-37) today led colleagues in the introduction of the Children\u2019s Safe Welcome Act of 2024<\/em>. The bicameral Ley de bienvenida segura para ni\u00f1os<\/em> embeds child welfare best practices into every stage of our immigration system involving both unaccompanied and accompanied children who seek asylum in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Merkley and Kamlager-Dove, this legislation is also cosponsored by Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), and Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Representatives Nanette Barrag\u00e1n (D-CA-44), Henry C. \u201cHank\u201d Johnson, Jr. (D-GA-04), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC-AL), Adriano Espaillat (D-NY-13), Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL-20), Sara Jacobs (D-CA-51), and James P. McGovern (D-MA-02).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe family separation policy continues to rank among the most morally abhorrent decisions ever made by any American presidential administration. Using children to achieve a deterrent policy outcome has been disastrous for migrant families and children. We must learn from these mistakes and recognize that protecting children in the U.S.\u2019s care should always come first,\u201d dijo Merkley.<\/strong> \u201cOur bill will codify child welfare protections, prohibit family separations, and guarantee legal representation for children, all of which will allow migrant children to be held in safe and humane conditions while their asylum claims are processed. I challenge Congress to act with moral clarity based on children\u2019s best interests by swiftly passing this legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAs the Trump Administration\u2019s inhumane family separation policy starkly illustrated, our immigration system is not designed to protect children\u2019s well-being or guarantee child safety,\u201d said Kamlager-Dove.<\/strong> \u201cThe disturbing lack of protections for children is a massive policy failure and moral disgrace that we cannot leave unaddressed. I am proud to partner with my Senate colleagues to introduce the Children\u2019s Safe Welcome Act, comprehensive legislation that ensures every step of the immigration process is structured around child welfare principles. Immigrant children disproportionately suffer the consequences of our broken immigration system, and it’s time we ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A new report<\/a> from a federally-appointed monitor highlights the ongoing need for comprehensive child welfare protections to be enacted in law and provide better care for migrant children. For example, children continue to be held by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) separately from their parents, without clear instructions on how to request visitation. This troubling report also revealed that many children are routinely held in CBP detention for more than 72 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, the United States’ immigration system primarily focused on adults, overlooking the unique needs of children who also seek refuge at our borders. The Ley de bienvenida segura para ni\u00f1os <\/em>commits to making substantial reforms to our immigration system by prioritizing the well-being of children, significantly reduce their suffering and trauma, and preventing children fleeing in search of a better life from being used as political pawns. The bill will: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Codificar las protecciones m\u00ednimas de bienestar infantil<\/strong> como los est\u00e1ndares de salud y seguridad, los requisitos de licencia estatal y el est\u00e1ndar del inter\u00e9s superior del ni\u00f1o.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Obligar a los profesionales de protecci\u00f3n infantil <\/strong>at children\u2019s first point of contact with the federal immigration system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Aumentar los est\u00e1ndares m\u00ednimos de salud y seguridad.<\/strong> para ni\u00f1os y familias en las instalaciones de Aduanas y Protecci\u00f3n Fronteriza.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Prohibir las separaciones familiares, <\/strong>con excepciones extremadamente limitadas solo en casos en los que es fundamental proteger la seguridad del ni\u00f1o.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Prohibir el uso de los centros de detenci\u00f3n familiar, <\/strong>sin excepci\u00f3n. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Aseg\u00farese de que todos los ni\u00f1os<\/strong> se colocan en un entorno no adversario<\/strong> para el procesamiento de su caso de asilo. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Crear un proceso para mantener unidas a las familias<\/strong> al permitir que los ni\u00f1os no acompa\u00f1ados que llegan a la frontera al cuidado de abuelos, hermanos adultos o t\u00edas o t\u00edos (miembros de la familia que no son padres\/tutores legales) permanezcan juntos. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Phase out large congregate care facilities and prioritize family-based placements <\/strong>para ni\u00f1os no acompa\u00f1ados.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Requerir que los ni\u00f1os sean colocados en el ambiente menos restrictivo <\/strong>and limit the placement of children in harmful restrictive facilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Priorizar la liberaci\u00f3n r\u00e1pida de los ni\u00f1os con discapacidad no acompa\u00f1ados<\/strong> y el acceso a los servicios en la comunidad. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Limite el uso de las instalaciones de afluencia<\/strong> and prohibit the placement of unaccompanied children in influx facilities for more than 20 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Garant\u00eda de representaci\u00f3n legal <\/strong>para los ni\u00f1os no acompa\u00f1ados en todas las etapas de los procedimientos de expulsi\u00f3n. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Prohibir compartir informaci\u00f3n <\/strong>sobre ni\u00f1os no acompa\u00f1ados, con escasas excepciones. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. Reemplazar lo obsoleto y ofensivo. <\/strong>word \u201calien\u201d with \u201cnoncitizen\u201d in federal statute.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. Establecer un<\/strong> defensor del pueblo <\/strong>Vigilar y vigilar el cumplimiento de esta Ley. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  16. Acceso a mandatos para miembros del Congreso<\/strong>, personal acompa\u00f1ante y prensa acreditada (sin c\u00e1maras) para visitar las instalaciones federales de inmigraci\u00f3n. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    El\u00a0Ley de bienvenida segura para ni\u00f1os<\/em>\u00a0is supported by leading experts, advocates, and organizations representing noncitizen children in all stages of our immigration system, including The National Center for Youth Law, Young Center for Immigrant Children\u2019s Rights, Save the Children, Prevention Institute, Columbia Law School Immigrants’ Rights Clinic, National Center for Youth Law, ZERO TO THREE, Women’s Refugee Commission, Center for the Human Rights of Children \u2013 Loyola University Chicago School of Law, Disability Rights Florida, Kids in Need of Defense, Center for Human Rights & Constitutional Law, National Immigrant Justice Center, National Association of Counsel for Children, First Focus Campaign for Children, Church World Service, Center for Law and Social Policy, Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, Children\u2019s Defense Fund, and Mental Health Advocacy Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    The government routinely fails children who are seeking protection at our border, and it must do better.  For years, our team has listened to children in detention centers all over the country share heartbreaking stories of their experience in custody. It is clear we need stronger protections, and the Children\u2019s Safe Welcome Act represents a critical step in the right direction,\u201d said Neha Desai, Senior Director, Immigration, National Center for Youth Law.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \u201cAs child advocates, we bear witness every day to children\u2019s experiences in federal detention, their fight to reunify with family, and their need for stability while they wait for the government to hear their requests for protection and permanency,” said Mary Miller Flowers, Director of Policy and Legislative Affairs for the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights.<\/strong> “At its core, the Children\u2019s Safe Welcome Act is a recognition that all children deserve a safe journey to adulthood, bolstered by the support and care of loving family and community. This bill shifts us one step closer to that vision and we are ready to fight to make it a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
