Legal Service Providers for Unaccompanied Children
Region D
C- Description/Specifications
Title: Legal Service Providers
C. 1.

Background

On March 1, 2002, the Homeland Security Act of 2002, §462, 6 U.S.C. § 279, transferred the
functions under U.S. immigration laws regarding the care and placement of unaccompanied alien
children (UC) from the former Immigration and Naturalization Service to the Director of the
Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). The Division of Unaccompanied Children's Services
(DUCS) was created within ORR to serve this purpose, in 2011 ORR reorganized and the UC
program was brought under the newly formed Division of Children’s Services (DCS). The UC
population includes those who: (1) have no lawful immigration status in the United States; (2)
have not attained 18 years of age; and (3) with respect to whom - (i) there is no parent or legal
guardian in the United States; or (ii) no parent or legal guardian in the United States is available
to provide care and physical custody.
On December 23, 2008, the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization
Act of 2008 (TVPRA) was passed. The law modified and expanded HHS' role in the care of UC.
Relevant to this Statement of Work, section 235(c)(5) of the (TVPRA), 8 U.S.C. § 1232(c)(5)
states, “[t]he Secretary of Health and Human Services shall ensure, to the greatest extent
practicable and consistent with section 292 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1362), that all unaccompanied alien children who are or have been in the custody of the
Secretary [of HHS] or the Secretary of Homeland Security... have counsel to represent them in
legal proceedings… To the greatest extent practicable, the Secretary of Health and Human
Services shall make every effort to utilize the services of pro bono counsel who agree to provide
representation to such children without charge.”
ORR identifies care options and placements for UC in licensed shelters, group homes, secure
facilities, or foster care, according to their specific needs. In making placements, ORR is guided
by the principles that all UC should be treated with dignity, respect, and special concern for their
particular vulnerability, all UC must be placed in the least restrictive setting that is in the best
interest of the UC, and each UC shall be provided care and services free from discrimination
based on race, religion, national origin, sex, handicap, or political belief.
UC are particularly vulnerable, having faced traumatic situations in their home countries, such as
dire poverty, war, forced military or gang recruitment, human trafficking, domestic violence,
abuse, familial separation and government neglect. Some are also very young, most have little or
no formal education, and are primarily non-English speaking. After apprehension by the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and transfer to ORR, these children face a complicated
legal system.
Over 90% of UC were released to the custody of a sponsor in FY14 while awaiting their
immigration proceedings; most UC immigration cases are not resolved until after they are
released from ORR. Therefore, in addition to the legal services provided while in custody, postrelease pro-bono and direct representation are an essential part of the continuity of legal services
to be performed by the contractor. Professional legal counsel assists in educating the children of
Page 11 of 35

their rights, determining if the children qualify for any immigration relief from removal back to
their home countries, and applying for identified relief. Continuity of legal representation for UC
improves efficiency in ORR facilities and in the immigration court system. It also increases the
ability of UC to obtain the relief for which they qualify.
C. 2.

Purpose

Families (ACF), Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) requires the Contractor to implement
