HHS Unaccompanied Children Program

This data is no longer being updated. New data is being tracked at https://healthdata.gov/National/HHS-Unaccompanied-Children-Program/ehpz-xc9n

This data represents unaccompanied children who are taken into custody by Customs and Border Protection brought to a facility and processed for transfer to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as required by law. HHS holds the child for testing and quarantine, and shelters the child until the child is placed with a sponsor here in the United States.
