Florida authorities called ICE on a teenager in foster care in violation of the Undocumented Child Rule, which prohibits Department of Children and Families workers from acting on a child’s immigration status. Whoever called should NOT work with children at DCF! FIRED! QUIT! LEAVE!

Florida child welfare officers found a 17-year-old living in a shed with no food or water. They sent him to a foster home... and then reported him to ICE, whereupon he was handcuffed and shackled and marched to detention.
Not only is that victimizing him again, it violates Florida's own rules.

![The decision to alert immigration authorities to Henry’s status as an undocumented migrant is at odds with decades of child welfare practice in Florida – and it appears to violate a 30-year-old state Department of Children and Families rule that prohibits workers from acting upon a child’s status. Fran Allegra, a children’s attorney who ran Miami-Dade’s private foster care agency from 2004 until 2014, said if DCF’s action in Henry’s case represents a formal change in policy, it “puts Florida children at risk, and introduces a new chilling effect on reports to the [state’s] child abuse hotline. Reports about undocumented families are already low. This shift makes the chance for reporting, and, therefore, rescuing kids, less likely.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifzejzvkh3dka76wm5kctwo2jvthtmawpnyjkxtuzhn7es3fqlcau@jpeg)

Florida welfare authorities have turned over a 17-year-old foster child to ICE.
He has already been separated from his mother, who was deported.
He may have been the victim of labor trafficking.
Yet, he was taken from his foster home in shackles.
