Stop Human Trafficking of Unaccompanied Migrant Children Act of 2025

This bill creates new requirements for placing unaccompanied migrant children with sponsors. Before the Department of Health and Human Services can place a child with a sponsor, the sponsor and all adults in their household must pass background checks including criminal history, sex offender registry, and child abuse checks. The department must also visit the sponsor's home before and after placing the child there. Children cannot be placed with sponsors who are in the country illegally unless that person is the child's parent, relative, or legal guardian, and these new rules must be applied to all placements made since January 20, 2021.
