Summary
The Migrant Child Safety Act adds new rules to the 2008 Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection law. It requires the Health and Human Services Department to collect extensive personal data on any adult who will host an unaccompanied alien child, share that data with Homeland Security, and conduct home visits and monitoring before placement. The goal is to improve child safety and ensure sponsors are accountable during immigration proceedings.
