Last week a coalition of organizations including the Young Center filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court of the United States in opposition to the Trump administration’s so-called Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), also known as the Remain in Mexico policy, focusing on its harm to children. For two years, the Remain in Mexico policy has trapped more than 70,000 people, including tens of thousands of children, in dangerous conditions while they wait for their court hearings in the United States. On January 20, 2021, the Biden-Harris administration suspended new enrollments in the policy, but thousands of families and children remain in Mexico, stranded and forced to brave threats of murder, kidnapping, and violence in order to pursue their asylum claims.

There are many ways to join the Young Center in our fight for the rights and best interests of immigrant children. You can donate to sustain our work, volunteer as a Child Advocate, become a Young Center Ambassador, become a corporate partner, or refer a child for appointment of Child Advocate. Thank you for helping us ensure children's safety, well-being, and rights are prioritized throughout immigration proceedings.
