End Child Trafficking: DNA Tests for Migrant Families
New regulations aim to combat child trafficking by introducing mandatory DNA tests for adults traveling with minors if their familial relationship is unclear. Individuals refusing the test or those whose test results do not confirm a familial link may face arrest, and the children will be considered unaccompanied. The act also introduces penalties for repeatedly using minors for illegal border crossings.
Key points
Mandatory DNA testing for adults traveling with minors if other proof of relationship is insufficient.
Minors traveling with adults who refuse a DNA test or whose test results do not confirm a familial relationship will be treated as unaccompanied children.
New criminal offense: using minors for repeated illegal border crossings, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Adults may be arrested if they fail to prove a familial relationship with a minor and there is suspicion of a felony, such as human trafficking.
