Politico: The Trump Administration Is Reducing Legal Pathways for Immigrant Kids to Stay in the U.S.
Politico reports that the Trump Administration is narrowing procedural pathways for undocumented children seeking to remain in the United States, including by limiting continuances while children await Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) visas and reassessing whether children who entered the country alone but were later reunited with their parents remain eligible for protections afforded to unaccompanied minors. Attorneys and advocates say immigration judges are applying these changes broadly, potentially affecting children’s access to asylum adjudication and other forms of relief.
