Expediting Reunification of Separated Families at the Border
New rules require the government to quickly find and reunite children separated from parents at the border. They provide families with legal aid, contact methods, and alternatives to detention, while protecting data privacy.
Key points
Government must create clear rules and procedures for quickly reuniting separated families.
Families gain access to free legal help and regular contact (phone, video) with children.
Alternatives to detention are introduced, and bond for release is capped at $1500 for most individuals.
Data collected for family reunification is protected and cannot be used for general immigration enforcement.
Children separated from parents are guaranteed legal counsel and individual case hearings.
