The Trump administration has dismissed a civil lawsuit against Southwest Key Programs, which housed unaccompanied migrant children, following allegations of serious misconduct. Complaints included numerous instances of sexual abuse reported against employees over several years. The Department of Health and Human Services decided to stop using Southwest Key's facilities after moving all unaccompanied children to different shelters. Consequently, this decision led to widespread furloughs of employees within the organization, reflecting severe operational impact due to the federal funding freeze and the termination of previous contracts with Southwest Key.
The Trump administration has moved to drop a civil lawsuit against Southwest Key Programs, the largest provider of housing for migrant children, citing a decision to cease using the provider.
HHS has decided to stop placement of unaccompanied alien children in Southwest Key facilities and to review ongoing grants with the organization amidst allegations of sexual abuse and harassment.
