Trump admin: Parents must be fingerprinted to get back migrant kidsNBC News, May 29, 2018, Julia Ainsley
WASHINGTON — In an effort to crack down on illegal immigration by minors, the Trump administration will soon require fingerprints from parents coming to claim their migrant children from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), according to senior administration officials.
Previously, parents had been exempt from inputting their fingerprints into a system that would determine whether they have a criminal record.
A similar proposal was floated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the Obama administration, but HHS pushed back, saying the process could delay family reunification and possibly intimidate parents from claiming their children, according to a Reuters report from April 2016.
