Standby Caretaker Act allows parents to designate standby caretakers for their children during adverse immigration actions.
The Standby Caretaker Act enables custodial parents to designate standby caretakers for their minor children in the event of an adverse immigration action affecting the custodial parent. This includes situations such as arrest, detention, deportation, or denial of a visa. The designated standby caretaker assumes care, custody, and control of the child during these circumstances. The standby caretaker's role is temporary and ends when the adverse immigration action ceases or the standby caretaker is no longer able or willing to act.
