Letter Requesting Improved Language Access for Unaccompanied Children

Published: November 2, 2022

The American Immigration Council joined a team of nonprofits across the country to write a letter to Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Director Robin Dunn Marcos to express concern over lack of appropriate language access services for minors in ORR care. The Council and other groups urge ORR to develop and implement language access guidelines for contractors working with immigrant youth to ensure minors understand and can meaningfully participate in their legal cases and the family reunification process.
