Summary
The HELP Separated Children Act obligates the Department of Homeland Security to find out within two hours if a detained individual is a parent of a child in the United States. It then must let the parent make phone calls, provide legal and consular contacts, and allow communication with the child before moving the parent to another facility. The goal is to protect children from sudden separation during immigration enforcement.
