Bill overview
The Children’s Safe Welcome Act of 2024 aims to improve the care of children in immigration custody by establishing stricter procedures and standards. It prohibits family separations except in specific circumstances, sets standards for foster care and HHS custody, and mandates legal representation for unaccompanied children. The bill also addresses emergency influx situations and seeks to minimize transfers of children to restrictive placements, ultimately prioritizing the ‘best interests of the child’ throughout the immigration process.
