Limiting funds for entities misbehaving towards unaccompanied migrant children.

This bill aims to protect unaccompanied migrant children by halting federal funding for organizations identified as engaging in misconduct, including sexual abuse and harassment. Citizens should be aware that their tax dollars will not fund entities that the Department of Justice has identified as violating the law in the care of children. Funding can only be restored if the organization successfully mitigates the conditions that led to the misconduct.
Key points
Funding Cutoff: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is prohibited from using funds for new contracts, grants, or agreements with organizations caring for unaccompanied alien children (UACs).
Reason for Cutoff: This applies to entities identified by the Department of Justice as facilitating or engaging in illegal sexual abuse, harassment, or other illegal misconduct toward children in their care.
Condition for Restoration: Funds can only be restored if the Attorney General certifies to Congress that the entity has successfully mitigated the conditions that led to the misconduct.
