According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, by law it must provide care for children who have no lawful U.S. immigration status; are younger than 18; and who have no parent or legal guardian available to provide care and physical custody here.
Most children are placed into ORR care because they were apprehended by immigration authorities while trying to cross the border or came to the attention of immigration authorities after crossing the border, according to a federal fact sheet.
In fiscal year 2021, about 72% of all children referred to the Office of Refugee Resettlement were older than 14, and 66% were boys. The youth in the program generally came from Guatemala (47%), El Salvador (13%), Honduras (32%) and other (8%), the federal agency said.
As of Feb. 16, there were about 9,780 unaccompanied minors in federal care. At the end of December, the average length of their care was 30 days, according to federal officials.
When children enter ORR care, they are put in contact with relatives or guardians, if known, and the process of finding a suitable sponsor begins, according to a fact sheet on the program. The vast majority of sponsors are a parent or close family relative living in the United States."
