For over 15 years, we've been at the forefront of protecting unaccompanied immigrant and refugee children worldwide, defending their rights and safety.




I have seen firsthand how absolutely shocking the “kids docket” is in immigration court, where young children are forced to represent themselves in a language they might not even understand. This is a cruel system that leads to lasting trauma. We must fix this.

"Kids need care and compassion, not cruelty and cages." @RepDexterOR

Kids fleeing violence, war, and trafficking shouldn’t be treated like criminals and trapped in detention for months on end. But that’s what is happening right now under this administration. I joined my colleagues on the House floor to demand a stop to this cruelty.















These children were victims of abuse and neglect and came to America for safety. They received special immigration protections to keep them from being abused again. But the Trump Admin. is ignoring those protections and sending children back into harm's way.


I'm proud to announce the official launch of the Combating Human Trafficking Congressional Caucus! This caucus is a bipartisan group of members committed to advancing legislation and policy initiatives that raise awareness of human trafficking, strengthen prevention and prosecution efforts, hold traffickers accountable, and protect human trafficking victims. I look forward to working with my co-chairs, @RepTroyCarter, @RepLaurelLee, and @RepLucyMcBath, to confront this crisis head on. Read more: valadao.house.gov/news/documents…
