For over 15 years, we've been at the forefront of protecting unaccompanied immigrant and refugee children worldwide, defending their rights and safety.
Children should not spend months—or years—in limbo.
Two Honduran siblings have remained in federal custody for nearly a year despite having family sponsors available to receive them.
Prolonged uncertainty can harm children’s well-being & sense of safety.

Thank you to Gehad Madi, @UNHumanRights, for elevating children's right to family life in migration and asylum systems.
KIND supports this call for input and encourages NGOs, advocates, and practitioners to submit recommendations and evidence by 5/15.

🚨JUST IN: Congress is urging action as the administration refuses to issue payments for legally required services for unaccompanied children.
These nonpayments threaten a system that has protected kids for nearly 20 years, and put thousands at risk.

Children in prolonged ORR custody often experience worsening stress, anxiety, and withdrawal.
Our new practice guidance helps attorneys, advocates, clinicians, and service providers recognize and respond to what many describe as "detention fatigue."

The ATJ iniative is a critical investment for the wellbeing of children seeking safety.
Justice shouldn’t depend on whether a child can access a lawyer. ATJ ensures due process & real opportunity.
We urge @councilofdc to prioritize FY27 ATJ funding.

40 deported parents interviewed in Honduras. 24 left children behind in the U.S.
Most were never asked if they were a parent.
15 kids were under 5.
Congress must pass family protection law, not leave families relying on loophole filled policies.

The Access to Justice Initiative is one of DC’s most effective investments.
It helps keep children in school, families stable, and futures on track by expanding access to legal representation.
We urge @councilofdc to prioritize FY27 ATJ funding.

Thousands of children across the U.S. are experiencing family separation through immigration enforcement happening in communities nationwide.
Many are left facing instability, fear, and uncertainty without systems in place to track or protect them.

Ningún padre debería enfrentar la separación familiar solo.
Este nuevo recurso apoya a familias inmigrantes, cuidadores y defensores. Compártelo ampliamente: https://t.co/Itjjg59uNe
Families separated by immigration enforcement still have rights and options.
Our new Explainer provides information on parental rights, reunification pathways, and resources that may help families move forward.

Children seeking asylum can wait as long as 200 days in detention while the gov complicates reunification by requiring DNA tests, federal appointments, and more.
Families are fighting back with habeas corpus petitions, but the damage being done is lasting.

A TX-detained mother's 13-month-old US citizen baby is sick in FL, allergic to formula. Her doctor begged the gov to let her mail breastmilk.
They said no.
27,000+ kids separated in 7 months. This is a child protection crisis.

“No one takes my feelings into account because I am a child.”
Children in ORR custody are speaking about fear, isolation, and prolonged detention. Urge Congress to conduct oversight and protect the rights and well-being of unaccompanied children.

Our UK partner @GMIAU is raising awareness on proposed policy changes that could leave families homeless and allow children to be detained by immigration officers.
Read their full guide to learn what's at stake: https://t.co/f8BpKUWSeE
Unaccompanied children are spending more time in federal custody as families face stricter sponsorship requirements.
The consequences are real: longer family separation, and kids so worn down they give up before their case is heard.
