Specialized Children’s Dockets in Immigration Court

May 2, 2023

KIND Recommendations

for a specialized children's docket

KIND is calling upon the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) within the Department of Justice (DOJ) to renew and expand specialized children’s dockets within each immigration court that would be solely dedicated to handling unaccompanied children’s claims. Children’s dockets should focus on ensuring due process, expanding child-friendly court practices, and streamlining applications for applicable legal relief for unaccompanied children’s immigration cases.
