Abstract:
During the fiscal year 2024, there were approximately 110,000 unaccompanied children and more than 800,000 family members encountered at the US-Mexican border. Migrant children present with a variety of custodial challenges, including diverse medical and psychological conditions. Several US agencies are responsible for migrant children in detention and recent litigation has generated some improvements in custodial conditions. While immigration detention and juvenile justice systems have distinct elements, there is a need for an integrated pediatric commitment to ensure appropriate custodial care and a common voice in advocacy and policy deliberation.
