#ORR was created in 1980 to resettle refugees fleeing war & persecution. Since the early 2000s, the agency has also been charged with housing unaccompanied migrant children arriving at the #US - #Mexico border….

The care of these #children has historically been walled off from #immigration enforcement. A 2008 law sought to ensure they were placed in the least restrictive setting & released from detention as soon as safely possible, regardless of their sponsors’ legal status.

That meant migrant families could be reunited without fear of being targeted by #ICE, even if they were in the country illegally.

The #Trump admin has taken a drastically different approach. Since January 2025, the data shows, #ORR has shared more than 460,000 “leads” with ICE about unaccompanied #children, their sponsors -- usually parents or other relatives -- & additional household members, leaving them vulnerable to #detention & #deportation.
