Bipartisan bill to support unaccompanied children in court

Bipartisan bill to support unaccompanied children in court

To improve the adjudication of immigration cases involving unaccompanied immigrant children, U.S. Representative from Florida María Elvira Salazar recently introduced a proposal legislation to establish the Children’s Court. The bill would require children’s immigration court judges to receive special training on child trafficking, developmental and trauma-informed practice, and docket management tools. The bill would require that the Children’s Court utilize child-appropriate procedures to help ensure that children comprehend the proceedings, are treated appropriately for their developmental stage, and have sufficient time to secure counsel.
