A Study and Analysis of the Treatment of Mexican Unaccompanied Minors by Customs and Border Protection
This article draws from surveys of 97 recently deported Mexican unaccompanied alien children (UAC), which examine their experiences with US immigration authorities. The study finds that Mexican UAC are detained in subpar conditions, are routinely not screened for fear of return to their home countries or for human trafficking, and are not sufficiently informed about the deportation process.
