Over 500 unaccompanied migrant children face imminent deportation, Senator Wyden warns
Jun 25, 2026

The Trump administration is planning to deport more than 500 unaccompanied migrant children who have been in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement for at least six months and lack family relatives or guardians to sponsor them in the U.S. Senator Ron Wyden warned that the deportations would bypass longstanding legal protections for migrant children and called the plan a 'severe institutional failure' that places vulnerable children 'in immediate jeopardy.'
