Deparment of homeland security

This bill introduced by Rep. Lucille Roybal [D-CA] calls for a mandatory training of all personnel who come into contact with unaccompanied alien children and seeks that all unaccompanied children who will undergo any immigration proceedings before the Department of Homeland Security and the Executive Office for Immigration Review are duly transported and placed in the care and legal and physical custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement within a maximum of 24 hours of their apprehension absent narrowly defined exceptional circumstances. In addition, the bill wants to ensure that female officers are responsible and at all times present during the transfer and transport of female detainees who are in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security.
