The Trump administration directed the Customs and Border Security Officers this week to provide the migrant teenagers voluntarily returning to their home countries, rather than that of the government-Overrsen to be sent to shelters, two US officials told CBS News on Wednesday, increasing the US immigration policy.
For many years, American immigration officers needed to move all unaccounted migrant children – or those who without permission and their parents or legal parents – for the Department of Health and Human Services, for the Department of Health and Human Services, if they came from countries outside Mexico and Canada. HHS oversees a network of shelters where these minors can be kept with a sponsor until they are 18 years old, which has historically been the US-based relative.
Officials said that now, CBP officials have been directed to offer untreated migrant children, who are 14 or older. If the teenagers take that option, the American Immigration Officers will facilitate their quick return to their original countries. If not, the teenager will still be transferred to the HHS refugee rehabilitation office.
This voluntary departure policy was earlier limited to unrelated children of Canada and Mexico. In 2008, the anti-smuggling law, the Protection of Trafficking victims, the Act, provided special legal protection for migrant children from “non-gourd-” countries, which involves preventing officials from exileing these minors rapidly.
Homeland security department New officials said The law, which spends a large beautiful bill act, allowed the Trump administration to change the policy.
DHS said in a statement, “This is a long-running practice that children are used to bring back to the safety of a parent or legal guardian in their country and are recognized in the Prevention and Conservation Acting Act of 2022 smuggling victims.”
The department said, “The only change for the large beautiful bills is expanding this option to return home from additional countries from Mexico and Canada to UAC.”
Policy change was first reported CNN,
It is not clear how many migrant teenagers will be affected by recent instructions. There is a number of migrants who illegally cross the US southern border Downs on the levels not seen since the 1960s Between the rift of Trump administration. In June, for example, the border petrol caught 6,000 migrants on the US-Mexico border, a record monthly low in which less than 700 unacceptable children were included.
Administration has Go to exile aggressively The immigrants living in the US have been encouraged to arrest, detain and deport them illegally or whose legal status has been canceled.
But it is also Pushed a large scale To encourage unauthorized immigrants to self-discomfort, provide them a $ 1,000 self-expansion bonus and threaten them with arrests, fines and prosecution when they are illegally living in the US.
