Thread: Illegal Aliens Quietly Being Relocated Throughout U.S. on Commercial Flights

Which law is that? I'm not familiar with a law that requires us to relocate illegal alien minors throughout the United states. Not saying there isn't one, just saying I'm not aware of it. I am aware of the Unaccompanied Refugee Minor (URM) program but I don't believe it's for unaccompanied illegal alien minors.

According to the article we're talking about a policy here, not an actual law.

It appears that the Trump administration has chosen to ignore the concerns of rank-and-file federal agents, instead opting to quietly extend the controversial Obama-era policy that relocates illegal immigrants to unsuspecting communities nationwide.

The Trump administration can change Obama era policies easily.

Unaccompanied Alien Children

On March 1, 2003, the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Section 462, transferred responsibilities for the care and placement of unaccompanied alien children from the Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service to the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).

Since then, ORR has cared for more than 175,000 children, incorporating child welfare values as well as the principles and provisions established by the Flores Agreement in 1997, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 and its reauthorization acts, the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) of 2005 and 2008.

Unaccompanied alien children apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) immigration officials are transferred to the care and custody of ORR. ORR promptly places an unaccompanied child in the least restrictive setting that is in the best interests of the child, taking into consideration danger to self, danger to the community, and risk of flight. ORR takes into consideration the unique nature of each child’s situation and incorporates child welfare principles when making placement, clinical, case management, and release decisions that are in the best interest of the child.

That doesn't say DHS is required to relocate illegal alien minor children throughout the United States. How do you respond to the following paragraph from the article?

It appears that the Trump administration has chosen to ignore the concerns of rank-and-file federal agents, instead opting to quietly extend the controversial Obama-era policy that relocates illegal immigrants to unsuspecting communities nationwide.

The article clearly identifies the relocation effort as being done by policy, not law.
