Stop Human Trafficking of Unaccompanied Migrant Children Act of 2025

This bill sets new rules for placing migrant children who arrive in the United States without a parent or legal guardian. Before a child can be placed with a sponsor, that sponsor and every adult in their household must pass several background checks, including fingerprinting, criminal history checks, sex offender registry checks, and child abuse checks. The government must also visit the sponsor's home before and after the child is placed there. A sponsor who is in the country without legal status can only take in a child if they are the child's parent, relative, or legal guardian, and these new rules must also be applied to all placements that have been made since January 20, 2021.
