Trump admin pulls children from migrant shelters over sexual abuse claims
MARCH 12, 2025
Southwest Key furloughs employees.
President Donald Trump's Department of Justice and Department of Health and Human Services released a joint statement on Wednesday announcing that unaccompanied migrant children will no longer be placed in shelters operated by Southwest Key Programs.
The departments called it a "move to end sexual abuse and harassment," noting that all the children have been moved to other shelters.
'Bad actors were incentivized to exploit children and break our laws: This ends now.'
Southwest Key, a nonprofit organization, runs more than two dozen temporary living facilities in Texas, Arizona, and California, making it the largest shelter provider for foreign national children who entered the United States without a parent or guardian.
