Bill overview
The Immigration Court Efficiency and Children’s Court Act of 2023 establishes a specialized ‘Children’s Court’ within the Executive Office for Immigration Review to improve the handling of immigration cases involving unaccompanied alien children. This court will have dedicated dockets, judges with specific training in child-focused procedures, and enhanced protections for children involved in proceedings. The bill also includes provisions to limit information sharing between the Office of Refugee Resettlement and Homeland Security, and mandates regular reporting and evaluations to assess the court’s effectiveness and compliance with its goals.
