HR 10504 United States House · 118th Congress

Family Reunification Task Force Act

This bill creates a task force within Homeland Security to reunite children separated from parents or guardians at the U.S.-Mexico border between January 20, 2017, and January 20, 2021, under the Zero-Tolerance Policy. The task force must identify all affected children, recommend legal pathways for reunification (including parole, visas, or services like mental health support), and consult with affected families and organizations. It must report to Congress every 60 days and will sunset within 120 days of all reunifications or by January 20, 2039, whichever comes first. The bill directly affects children separated during that specific policy period and requires federal agencies to coordinate on practical solutions.
