在美国寻求避风港的移民儿童，无论是无人陪伴还是以家庭为单位抵达美国，从抵达到在社区永久安置，都面临着复杂的评估和法律程序。儿童被拘留的条件和向他们提供的支助服务是儿科医生和其他儿童权利倡导者非常关注的问题。根据国际上接受的儿童权利，移民和难民儿童应得到尊严和尊重，不应使其处于可能伤害或使其受到精神创伤的条件下。国土安全部的设施不符合居住环境中照顾儿童的基本标准。本声明中的建议要求限制任何儿童接触现有的国土安全部设施（即海关和边境保护局以及移民和海关执法机构），并对在美国拘留移民儿童的健康后果进行纵向评估。从儿童被美国监护的那一刻起，他们就应该得到符合指南标准的医疗保健，减轻伤害或创伤的治疗，以及支持他们健康和福祉的服务。本政策声明还就儿童被释放到全国各地社区后的服务提供了具体建议，包括一个协调的系统，促进儿童进入医疗之家，并持续获得教育、儿童保育、口译服务和法律服务。
Immigrant children seeking safe haven in the United States, whether arriving unaccompanied or in family units, face a complicated evaluation and legal process from the point of arrival through permanent resettlement in communities. The conditions in which children are detained and the support services that are available to them are of great concern to pediatricians and other advocates for children. In accordance with internationally accepted rights of the child, immigrant and refugee children should be treated with dignity and respect and should not be exposed to conditions that may harm or traumatize them. The Department of Homeland Security facilities do not meet the basic standards for the care of children in residential settings. The recommendations in this statement call for limited exposure of any child to current Department of Homeland Security facilities (ie, Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities) and for longitudinal evaluation of the health consequences of detention of immigrant children in the United States. From the moment children are in the custody of the United States, they deserve health care that meets guideline-based standards, treatment that mitigates harm or traumatization, and services that support their health and well-being. This policy statement also provides specific recommendations regarding postrelease services once a child is released into communities across the country, including a coordinated system that facilitates access to a medical home and consistent access to education, child care, interpretation services, and legal services.
