Children from Mexico are excluded from the program.\nDepartment of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comments.\nSee Also: Trump’s H-1B Bombshell: What It Means For America’s Tech Supremacy\nWendy Young, president of Kids in Need of Defense, a nonprofit providing legal support to unaccompanied minors, condemned the move, calling it a \"cruel tactic.\"\n\"Unaccompanied children seeking safety in the United States deserve our protection rather than being coerced into agreeing to return back to the very conditions that placed their lives and safety at risk,\" she told Reuters.\nFederal law requires that migrant children who arrive without parents or legal guardians be placed in shelters or foster care while their cases proceed.\nAs of Thursday, more than 2,100 unaccompanied children were in U.S. government custody, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.\nThe stipend program comes amid a broader push by the Trump administration to accelerate deportations. In June, the State Department shifted $250 million to DHS to fund voluntary deportations, with migrants who self-deported receiving $1,000 stipends.\nThe administration's efforts have already faced legal hurdles. A federal judge last month ordered officials to halt deportations of unaccompanied Guatemalan minors with active cases.\nSince 2019, more than 600,000 children have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without a parent or legal guardian, according to government data.\nLast month, the White House asked the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on the legality of an executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are not citizens or lawful permanent residents.\nFederal judges have issued injunctions against the order, citing constitutional concerns under the 14th Amendment.\nRead More:\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga\nImage via Shutterstock","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.35.12","shortVersion":"4.35.12","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2572654593","isCrawlerRequest":true}
