AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change parts of a 2025 federal law (Public Law 119-21) as they apply to unaccompanied immigrant children. It would exempt anyone who is or was an unaccompanied child from fees under that law, including asylum, annual asylum, work permit, immigration court, in absentia removal, and border apprehension fees. It would repeal the special immigrant juvenile fee and bar the Homeland Security Secretary from charging fees for that status. It would repeal provisions funding removals of unaccompanied children and body examinations by Homeland Security and the Office of Refugee Resettlement, and bar sharing sponsor information for immigration enforcement. Fees paid under the repealed or amended provisions would be refunded within 180 days.
