Abstract: Executive Order 14011 (E.O. 14011), Establishment of Interagency Task Force on the Reunification of Families, in response to the prior Administration’s use of immigration laws to intentionally separate children from their parents and legal guardians (families), including through the use of the Zero-Tolerance Policy. E.O. 14011 directs the Interagency Task Force on the Reunification of Families (Task Force) to identify children who were separated and facilitate and enable the reunification of the families. Additionally, E.O. 14011 directs the Task Force to provide recommendations on providing additional services and support for the reunified families, including behavioral health services with a focus on trauma-informed care. The Secretary of Homeland Security is the chair of the Task Force and is joined by the Department of State, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Justice. To carry out the Task Force role to reunify families, DHS is proposing this new data collection. The purpose is to achieve efficiencies to process these individuals for a successful family reunification. To streamline the reunification travel coordination process, the Task Force plans to collect details in advance of travel, information the Task Force needs to make arrangement for the beneficiary and coordination with stakeholders.
