Representative Lucille Roybal-Allard has introduced a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives that would provide enhanced protection for unaccompanied children and female detainees in the immigration system.
In one of its key provisions, the bill would ensure that independent licensed social workers are involved in the care of unaccompanied children while they are in the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
