Children are being harmed by immigration enforcement that ignores their safety. Arrests of young children, family separations in court, and enforcement at schools and health centers must end. U.S. Congress must act. Our statement: https://bit.ly/45AQH1c

Victoria’s story shows the power of education. For children forced to flee, learning is a lifeline. This #EducationDay, your support helps protect futures. https://bit.ly/4k72NoL

We appreciate Jacob Soboroff for highlighting the impact of immigration enforcement on children. KIND stands for a child-centered approach that protects family unity and ensure legal counsel and accountability for the most vulnerable.

Schools should be spaces where children feel secure enough to learn, grow, and plan for their future. When fear enters classrooms, focus and development suffer, and children carry that disruption with them. Education must remain accessible and protected for every child. #EducationDay

The arrest of a five-year-old child in Minnesota is a profound failure of child protection. This reflects enforcement policies that disregard children’s safety and rights in the name of deterrence. No child should ever be subjected to fear as a tool of immigration control. https://bit.ly/49yqhj4

We honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy and his unwavering commitment to equality, justice, and fairness. Remembering his fight for civil rights also means recognizing the role children play in shaping what comes next. When children’s rights are threatened, our shared future is at risk. #MLKDay

U.S. enforcement policies are separating families and harming unaccompanied children, placing kids at risk of being sent back to danger. Our new policy brief outlines the impact and calls for approaches that protect children’s best interests and family unity. supportkind.org/resources/ho...

The U.S. gov is housing migrant children in a PA facility with a history of abuse allegations. When kids are in gov custody, their safety must come first. Anything less is unacceptable. https://bit.ly/49xW3LP

Thank you! 💙 Because of you, children weren’t alone navigating the system in 2025. Your support helped us reach our $150K matching goal and ensures KIND can continue providing protection, stability, and legal advocacy when it matters most.

Unaccompanied children shouldn't have to face onerous fees, prolonged detention, and forced returns. The Upholding Protections for Unaccompanied Children Act would undo harmful provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and restore basic safeguards. Take action: https://bit.ly/4qns3Jv

Reports show current U.S. immigration policies may be increasing the risk of trafficking and exploitation for children navigating the system alone. Advocates warn fear, detention, and lack of legal support put kids in danger. Child safety has to come first. https://bit.ly/4b5KPkf

A new year begins amid growing uncertainty for unaccompanied children worldwide. Through legal representation, psychosocial support, and advocacy, KIND will continue protecting children as the risks they face grow.

The U.S. gov't has nearly stopped reuniting migrant children with their families, even when reunification is approved. Children are left in shelters for weeks longer than necessary, with no clear explanation. Family separation should never be policy. https://bit.ly/499nbk3

KIND urged DHS to withdraw the proposed biometrics rule. It authorizes expansive data collection without age limits, relies on outdated evidence, and undermines protections enacted to prevent harm and trafficking. https://bit.ly/4qqjM7v

For some children, the holidays bring fear—not joy. Unaccompanied kids tell us about fear of ICE and separation. Know Your Rights resources can help families navigate what comes next. https://supportkind.org/resources/know-your-rights/

A 3-year-old sat alone in a U.S. courtroom, expected to argue for her own safety. She didn’t understand the questions. Still, the system required her to answer. This wasn’t a mistake. It reflects a system that treats children’s cases as paperwork, not protection. https://lat.ms/4pQP6wp

[6] “The rule will hinder children and families, including those who are exempt from public charge considerations, from accessing critical services that help children heal from trauma, grow in safety, and fairly access humanitarian protection.” Wendy Young, @supportkind.org

[1] Today, children’s advocacy organizations submitted a public comment to the federal government opposing their proposed “Public Charge” rule, which would bring significant harm to children in immigrant families. childrenthriveaction.org/2025/12/near...

On #InternationalMigrantsDay, we reflect on why people migrate, to seek safety and stability. Instead, many children are separated from their families by policies that undermine family unity and put young people at risk. Protecting family unity is fundamental to human dignity.

⚠️The House passed the Kayla Hamilton Act, a bill that weakens protections for unaccompanied children. It would prolong detention, block family reunification, and prioritize enforcement over child safety. This is not child protection. Our statement: https://bit.ly/3KMq3LF

Congratulations on this achievement, @gmiau.bsky.social! Your work highlights how collaboration and pro bono leadership can make a real difference for communities navigating complex legal systems.

#MyDayMyRight is a reminder to uplift children’s voices in the decisions that shape their lives. Through CO.A.ST, we’re strengthening guardianship and legal support with partners like VOICIFY. https://bit.ly/4r4SiW1

‼️A federal judge has ordered the government to reinstate the SIJS deferred action policy while the lawsuit is ongoing, requiring USCIS to resume considering SIJS youth for this vital protection from removal that thousands of young people have depended on.

On #WorldChildrensDay, we’re thinking of the children who cross borders alone, carrying fear, hope, & whatever strength they can hold. Alejandra, Laura, & Ayrad each faced moments no child should face—discrimination, danger, confusion at borders. And still, they kept going. https://bit.ly/4peDu5A

On World Day for Prevention of Child Abuse, we’re reminded that protecting children takes sustained action. Nearly two years into Project Suzir’ya, KIND and partners support displaced Ukrainian children through legal aid, case management, and cross-border coordination. https://bit.ly/44iZzYu

Half of all children experience violence.* For youth escaping exploitation or abuse, safety comes first — protection must follow. KIND delivers legal and psychosocial support and pushes for policies that keep children safe. *WHO, 2024 #Nov18WorldDay
