This Biden administration policy impacts the Trump-era policy identified in this entry.
On October 4, 2023, the Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Children and Families’ (ACF) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on the "Unaccompanied Children Program Foundational Rule."
This proposed rule would codify a framework for the care and custody of unaccompanied children consistent with ORR’s statutory authorities and responsibilities, as well as with requirements established in the 1997 Flores Settlement Agreement (FSA). It would set comprehensive standards for the care and treatment of unaccompanied children in ORR’s custody, and update collection of information requirements established during the Trump administration and outlined in this original policy entry.
