Orlin’s Law mandates protections for dependent children with detained alien parents, ensuring their rights and safety.
Orlin’s Law requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to provide detained alien parents with opportunities to arrange care for their dependent children, including free communication and visits. It mandates the release of detained parents unless they pose a safety risk, and it establishes a community-based case management program. The law also ensures detained parents can participate in family court and child welfare proceedings, and it limits transfers to areas outside their initial detention or habitual residence. Reports on these protections are to be submitted quarterly to Congress.
