Richard Storrow: Unaccompanied Minors at the U.S.-Mexico Border: The Shifting Sands of Special Immigrant Juvenile Status

In his article “Unaccompanied Minors at the U.S.-Mexico Border: The Shifting Sands of Special Immigrant Juvenile Status,” published in the Georgetown Immigration Law Journal, Prof. Richard Storrow confronts the traumatic social and economic conditions sparking the surge of unaccompanied minors attempting to enter the U.S. via the southwestern border. He maps the treacherous legal terrain of SIJS and argues that it is at odds with Congress’s intent that it be used to remove children from harm’s way.
