Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 279(b)(2)), an unaccompanied alien child in the custody
of the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall be promptly placed in the

Act of 1980 (8 U.S.C. 1522 note), if a suitable family member is not available

a severe form of trafficking in persons, a special needs child with a
disability (as defined in section 3 of the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990 (42 U.S.C. 12102(2))), or a child who has been a victim of physical or
sexual abuse under circumstances that indicate that the child’s health or
welfare has been significantly harmed or threatened or a child whose proposed
sponsor clearly presents a risk of abuse, maltreatment, exploitation, or
trafficking to the child based on all available objective evidence. The
Secretary of Health and Human Services shall conduct follow-up services, during
the pendency of removal proceedings, on children and custodians for whom a home
study was conducted and is authorized to conduct follow-up services in cases
involving children with mental health or other needs who could benefit from
ongoing assistance from a social welfare agency.</text>

responsibility to ensure the child’s appearance at all immigration proceedings

trafficking.</text>

are or have been in the custody of the Secretary or the Secretary of Homeland
Security, and who are not described in subsection (a)(2)(A), have competent
counsel to represent them in legal proceedings or matters and protect them from
mistreatment, exploitation, and trafficking. To the greatest extent
practicable, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall make every effort
to utilize the services of competent pro bono counsel who agree to provide
representation to such children without charge. Consistent with section 292 of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1362), nothing in this Act may be

provide evidence in any proceeding concerning any information or opinion
received from the child in the course of serving as a child advocate. The child
advocate shall be presumed to be acting in good faith and be immune from civil

disclosing such information to other government agencies or nonparental third
parties. The Secretary shall provide information to a duly recognized law
enforcement entity in connection with a prosecution or investigation of an
