Upholding Protections for Unaccompanied Children Act of 2025

Key Points

• It would stop the government from charging certain immigration fees to kids who came to the U.S. without a parent or guardian.
• It would remove a fee linked to a pathway some abused or neglected kids use to seek safety, and it says the government can’t add a new fee for it.
• It would roll back parts of an earlier law that changed how these kids are screened and handled in the system, aiming for a fairer legal process.
• It would limit invasive body searches of these children by federal agencies.
• It would block sharing sponsor information with immigration enforcement, so family members who take a child in are less likely to be targeted.
