Details:
The primary function of ORR/DUCO is to provide temporary shelter care and other related services to unaccompanied children (UC) in ORR custody. HSA of 2002 section 462(g)(2) uses the term “unaccompanied alien children,” but ORR uses the term “unaccompanied children” or “unaccompanied child.” An unaccompanied child is a child who “has no lawful immigration status in the United States; has not attained 18 years of age; and with respect to whom there is no parent or legal guardian in the United States; or no parent or legal guardian in the United States is available to provide care and physical custody.” (6 U.S.C. § 279(g)(2)).
Residential care services begin once ORR accepts a UC for placement and end when the minor is released from ORR custody, turns 18 years of age, or the minor’s immigration case results in a final disposition of removal from the United States. Residential care and other child welfare-related services are provided by state-licensed residential care programs in the least restrictive setting appropriate for the UC’s age and special needs.
