Protecting UACs Through Enhanced Sponsor Vetting Act of 2017

United States · United States Congress · 7 November 2017

Protecting UACs Through Enhanced Sponsor Vetting Act of 2017 This bill establishes additional sponsor vetting requirements for placement of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) who are in federal custody because of their immigration status. UACs are children under the age of 18 with no lawful immigration status who either have no parent or legal guardian in the United States, or have no parent or legal guardian in the United States available to provide care and physical custody. The Homeland Security Act of 2002 is amended to require the Department of Health and Human Service's Office of Refugee Resettlement, as part of its UAC placement determinations, to: notify the governor and the chief executive of the county in which a sponsor resides of a prospective placement; include the Federal Bureau of Investigation and state and local law enforcement officials in consultations regarding UAC adherence to hearing requirements and safety from criminal or exploitive elements, including protection from members of a transnational criminal organization. Prior to making a placement determination the office shall: coordinate with the Department of Justice to use the Next Generation Identification System to check the criminal background of prospective sponsors; and consult with federal, state, and local law enforcement entities. The office shall also: notify state and local governments of a placement determination, including notifying the governor and mayor of the locality in which the sponsor resides; and provide the Terrorist Screening Center with any information uncovered during the placement process that establishes the child's or sponsor's membership or affiliation with a transnational criminal organization.

Question 68 — ordre public

France · National Assembly · 6 November 2017

Mme Muriel Ressiguier alerte M. le ministre d'État, ministre de l'intérieur, sur les événements qui se sont produits récemment à Montpellier et sur la nécessité de lutter contre les actes discriminatoires et contre les incitations à la haine et à la violence. Le 30 juin 2017, un groupuscule fanatique identitaire, a vandalisé et mis à sac le local de l'association R.A.I.H. (Réseau accueil insertion Hérault) en scandant des propos haineux et provocant à la haine, en raison du fait que cette association concourt à la prise en charge et à la protection des mineurs étrangers isolés et ainsi exposés à un danger grave, qu'elle leur procure accueil et hébergement le temps d'évaluer leur situation et de leur proposer une orientation et qu'elle reçoit des subventions du conseil départemental de l'Hérault. L'association RAIH veille également, pendant leur séjour sur le territoire, à leurs conditions d'éducation, de formation, de santé conformément à la Convention des droits de l'enfant. Lors de cette action violente, des membres de ce groupuscule, à visages découverts, ont usé de slogans qui sont de véritables incitations à la haine du type : « Assez, assez les réfugiés », « Pas de subventions pour financer l'invasion » ou encore « La France aux Français ». Pire encore, pour se faire de la publicité, ce groupuscule a filmé son intervention et a posté la vidéo sur les réseaux sociaux, revendiquant l'action et intitulant celle-ci « On est passé chez les collabos ». Il ne s'agit pas de la première action de ce type réalisée par ce grouspuscule dans l'Hérault. Son président, présent en propos et en action dans cette dernière vidéo, a déjà été condamné en 2012 à de la prison ferme pour avoir réalisé des saluts nazis et proféré des insultes racistes. La répétition de ce type d'exactions est inacceptable pour la République française et sa devise : Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. Elle lui demande de bien vouloir envisager la dissolution, par décret en conseil des ministres, de cette association, considérant qu'aux termes de l'article L. 212-1 du code de la sécurité intérieure : « Sont dissous, par décret en conseil des ministres, toutes les associations ou groupements de fait : (...) 6° (...) qui, soit provoquent à la discrimination, à la haine ou à la violence envers une personne ou un groupe de personnes à raison de leur origine ou de leur appartenance ou de leur non-appartenance à une ethnie, une nation, une race ou une religion déterminée, soit propagent des idées ou théories tendant à justifier ou encourager cette discrimination, cette haine ou cette violence ».
