About: Reception of unaccompanied minors from the Northern Triangle

The Northern American Triangle refers to the Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Studies shows that the trend of unaccompanied migration from the Northern Triangle is strongly influenced by the poverty and violence of the sending countries. Given that these children are considered underage migrants, the manner in which the Department of Homeland Security and the United States in general receives them differs from that of adult migrants.
