New Trump migrant rules slow family reunifications
- The Trump administration's 2025 migrant policies slowed family reunifications by requiring DNA testing and income verification before releasing children to relatives in the U.S.
- These regulations aimed to prevent trafficking and unsafe placements, but lawyers argue they have caused prolonged separations despite differing views on their impact.
- Thousands of children from countries like Guatemala and the Dominican Republic remain in federal custody, with some facing waits over 70 days due to delayed DNA testing and income verification.
- Legal aides report that DNA tests often take at least two weeks, but relavant relatives sometimes wait a month or longer for appointments, while average shelter stays under Trump’s rules reached 217 days.
- These conditions led to fewer children released last month and prompted advocacy groups to sue for blocking stricter requirements, highlighting challenges in migrant family reunifications.
