Here’s what happens to migrant children in the U.S. without their parents
The U.S. government recognizes these children as a particularly vulnerable group, and border agents are required to transfer them to minors-only shelters within 72 hours.
RUBY, ARIZONA - JANUARY 05: Migrants turn themselves in to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers after crossing over a section of border wall into the U.S. on January 05, 2025 in Ruby, Arizona. Unlawful border crossings along the Texas Southern border have plummeted to a four-year low according to recent data provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Immigration experts have attributed parts of the decrease to a ruling under the Biden administration which encouraged traveling migrants to make appointments through an app before turning themselves in at ports of entry. The ruling also established that migrants attempting to cross illegally were ineligibile for asylum. President-elect Donald Trump continues speaking about his plans for hardline border and migration policies at the U.S.-Mexico border upon his return to office on January 20.
