New Fingerprinting Rules for Minors and Penalties for Using Children at the Border.
This bill mandates fingerprinting for noncitizen children under 14 entering the U.S. if they are suspected victims of human trafficking. It also establishes severe criminal penalties, including up to 10 years in prison, for adults who knowingly use unrelated minors to gain entry into the country. The goal is to enhance border security and combat the exploitation of children in migration schemes.
