Stop GAPS Act of 2025
This bill requires the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to track unaccompanied alien children (UACs) who are in the U.S. and in ongoing immigration proceedings after being released from Homeland Security custody. It also mandates ORR to work with states to find placements for these children. The bill amends federal regulations by removing a specific paragraph (45 CFR §410.1201(a)(6)) related to UAC processing. It directly affects UACs in immigration cases and the federal/state agencies managing their care. The key change is creating a formal tracking system and placement coordination requirement for this vulnerable population.
