We urge the Administration to move away from the detention model to long-term solutions for handling the fluctuating rates of child migration that ensures children spend as little time as possible in any detention setting and are swiftly reunited with family members or other sponsors in the U.S.\u00a0 It is crucial that Congress place guardrails on the use of influx shelters, while also ensuring that the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is responsible for unaccompanied minors, has the funding and resources needed to care for these children properly.<\/p>\n<p>JCPA is heartened that the Office of Refugee Resettlement\u2014which is responsible for unaccompanied minors\u2014is assessing alternatives to influx facilities and we will be closely monitoring the situation to ensure that the Administration adheres to the same child health and welfare standards required for permanent shelters, as it has promised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York, NY \u2013 The Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) is concerned about the Administration\u2019s decision to reopen a temporary influx shelter in Texas for unaccompanied immigrant children.
