Bill overview
This bill, the Stop Human Trafficking of Unaccompanied Migrant Children Act of 2023, aims to strengthen the vetting process for sponsors placing unaccompanied alien children in the U.S. It requires a more comprehensive background check for potential sponsors, including fingerprinting, sex offender registry checks, and criminal history checks, as well as home visits before and after placement. The bill also mandates monthly reporting on the number of children involved and the effectiveness of the vetting process, and retroactively applies these stricter standards to placements made since January 20, 2021.
