Manchin Leads Effort to Overturn Biden's Rule on Migrant Child Sponsors

The resolution challenges the vetting process for sponsors of unaccompanied migrant children, citing safety concerns.

Sen. Joe Manchin, now an independent, is spearheading the initiative with support from 45 Republican senators.
The Biden administration's rule, updated in April, allegedly weakens background checks and sponsor vetting standards.
Manchin argues the rule endangers children by not requiring sponsors to disclose criminal history or immigration status.
HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra defends the rule, claiming it improves standards for the care and placement of unaccompanied minors.
The resolution calls for a return to stricter vetting processes to ensure the safety and welfare of migrant children.
