Immigration Court Efficiency and Children's Court Act of 2023

HR 6145 creates a specialized "Children's Court" within U.S. immigration courts to handle cases involving unaccompanied children under 18. The bill requires immigration judges assigned to this court to complete mandatory training on child development, trauma-informed practices, and child-appropriate procedures - including explaining court processes in simple terms, providing breaks during testimony, and ensuring access to legal counsel. It also prohibits sharing sensitive personal information about children without their consent, protecting privacy during proceedings. Annual reports will track case processing, appearance rates, and the court's effectiveness in upholding due process for these children.
