No, the law I'm talking about is the one passed in 2003.
Executive Summary
Every year in the United States
, thousands of noncit
izen children who have been separated
from their parents or other legal guardians unde
rgo removal (deportation) proceedings before
the Executive Office for Immigration Review (E
OIR), the office within the Department of
Justice that oversees the U.S. im
migration courts. Unfortunately,
pro bono
(volunteer) legal
services for these “unaccompanied children”
are in short supply, and very few of these
children have the resources to hire their own
legal counsel. As a result, many have no choice
but to go through the difficult and intimidating
experience of appearing
in immigration court
without legal representation.
In 2002, when Congress passed the Homeland Secu
rity Act, it transf
erred the care and
custody of unaccompanied children from the form
er Immigration and Naturalization Service
(INS) to the Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR) and in doi
ng so, instructed the ORR to
develop a plan to ensure the timely appointment of legal counsel for each unaccompanied
child in its custody. In response to this legisl
ative mandate, the ORR asked the Vera Institute
of Justice to administer a pilot project,
called the Unaccompanied Children Pro Bono Project
(UACPBP), which provides
pro bono
legal services to
unaccompanied children in removal
proceedings through local subcontractors, and to
draft a series of reco
mmendations as to how
the ORR can provide qualified le
gal counsel to all such child
ren in a timely manner.
This literature review, which examines articl
es by an assortment of scholars, advocates,
and practicing attorneys, seeks to inform Ve
ra’s work by sketching
an overview of the
published research on unaccompanied children in the
United States. It also seeks to place that
overview in its proper legal, in
stitutional, and historical cont
ext. The report should be of
interest to practitioners, resear
chers, and scholars whose work
touches on immigration issues.
The literature on unaccompanied children in th
e United States has identified a handful of
broad concerns. These include the lack of
systematic research
on the migration of
unaccompanied children; the failure of U.S. immi
gration law to adopt sufficient child-specific
standards; the lack of consensus on the need fo
r child advocates; the
absence of the child’s
perspective from immigration policy proposal
s or decisions; the methods used by the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to
classify unaccompanied children; the need for
clear policies regulating confiden
tiality, repatriation, a
nd reunification with family members;
the challenges that unaccompanied children in
federal custody face in applying for Special
Immigrant Juvenile Status; and finally, the lack
of legal counsel for unaccompanied children.
The literature also points to substantial im
provements in the treatment of unaccompanied
children in recent years. These
include the introduction of procedural safeguards for children
in removal proceedings; a reduction in the
use and length of detention and a general
improvement in conditions that accompanied the
transfer of responsibility for the care and
custody of unaccompanied children from the now-defunct INS to the ORR; and an increased
awareness of trafficking in children.

I'm not going to spend the time correcting this pdf the way it transfers, so sorry it is hard to read. It's depressing to learn that you are not aware of this law that's been around since the first term of the GW Bush administration.
Trump knows about it and he's trying to repeal it, but needs Congress to do it.Last edited by Judy; 02-20-2018 at 03:22 PM.

As the two previous articles I posted clearly show, the law you're referring to does not prevent the deportation of minor children. Unaccompanied Mexican children can still be immediately deported and Unaccompanied children from other countries can still be deported after their day in court."The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" ** Edmund Burke**

Judy, what about artist's comment regarding Trump re-authorizing the program you're talking about? If that's true, why would he take that action if it stopped him from doing something he wanted to do?

No one said it did. My post about the 2003 law was in response to your post for DHS, ICE, Trump or all three to drop her at the Mexican border crossing gate. And I posted they can't do that because of this 2003 law. We're talking about the girl in this article who is already in the ORR program, because of the 2003 law I pointed out to you. Her case will be handled by DOJ and the court system. 90% of the minors in this program who have attorneys are never deported and those who are are deported years down the road, certainly not in time to avoid an anchor baby birth when the minor is pregnant as is the girl in this thread article we're talking about.

Previously posted - trump reauthorized the loophole for central americans to be escorted to some sort of relative, illegal or not and receive schooling, healthcare/dental, schooling, monthly monies and right to stay in USA, etc. This disguised as an anti trafficking law/act - enacted by congress but requires re-authorization by pres - that he did!
