Immigrant teenagers have a year from when they come to the U.S. to claim asylum, but unless they have a lawyer who makes them aware, it’s unlikely teenagers will figure this out on their own, one trial lawyer said.
now hopes to use that victory to remove teenage migrants without family in the United States from government shelters to live with sponsors.
“There’s children 15- or 16-years-old who ran way or were abused, neglected and threatened by gangs, and thousands of children who have no one in the U.S. and no one to sponsor them,” de Anda told NBC News. The teen, who arrived at the border unaccompanied by a parent or guardian, died at a Texas hospital after several days of intensive care at a children’s hospital. His death is under investigation and U.S. officials have released few other details.
In Byron's case, the Office of Refugee Resettlement had refused to release the boy to the Sewells because they were not relatives and did not know Byron before he arrived in the country. Byron's family had asked that their son be released to the Sewells.requires that sponsors be parents, legal guardians, immediate relatives or other adults who had a relationship with the family before the child came to the U.S.
The second is long-term foster care. In those cases, the children are turned over to a fostering agency. The agency, licensed by the state, finds a parent who has been vetted and ORR pays for the long-term care. The long-term care often is what is used for a child whose parent was abusive, de Anda said.
She said ORR has a very limited number of foster care placements and they usually are reserved for kids in"tender" years, are demonstrating a high degree of trauma or those with disabilities.
