Stop GAPS Act of 2025
This bill (S 1997, Stop GAPS Act of 2025) requires the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to track unaccompanied minors (children without parents in U.S. immigration custody) who are in the United States and involved in ongoing immigration cases. It directs ORR to coordinate with states to find placements for these minors, replacing an outdated regulatory provision. The bill directly affects unaccompanied minors in immigration proceedings and the federal agencies managing their care.
