US EditionNew Trump migrant rules slow family reunifications
- The Trump administration imposed new migrant family reunification rules that slowed the release of children from shelters in 2025 across the U.S.
- These rules, including DNA testing and income verification, aimed to prevent trafficking but have delayed efforts, with reunifications stalled over 70 days.
- Advocates reported many children remain separated while awaiting lengthy DNA tests, as officials inspect homes and verify incomes before release decisions.
- Federal data shows children stayed 217 days in shelters under Trump rules versus 35 days during Biden’s administration, and only 45 children were released last month.
- These delays prolong detention, cause hardship, and have led legal groups to sue, while organizations like Vecina end reunification support amid funding and legal challenges.
