Refugee Resettlement: Court Papers and Birth Certificate

refugee resettlement: That leaves her free to have an abortion if she chooses, according to Metro News. The Justice Department argued it had obtained the teen's birth certificate and it showed she is 19 years old, not 17. In court papers filed Tuesday, the Trump administration says the teen was handed over to immigration authorities and released. That meant she would no longer be in the custody of the Health and Human Services Department office that oversees shelters that house immigrant children. The administration says the woman was transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In March, HHS's Office of Refugee Resettlement revised its policy to discourage and prohibit pregnant teens from having abortions. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
