Asylum Reform and Border Protection Act of 2015 This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to: prohibit the government from bearing any expense of counsel for any person in a removal or related appeal proceedings, add a requirement to establish a credible fear of persecution claim in an asylum interview, limit humanitarian and public interest parole authority, and prohibits the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from using parole authority for an alien who is ineligible for refugee status. The bill amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to revise the definition of "unaccompanied alien child" (UAC). The William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 is amended to extend the period for a federal agency to: (1) notify the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that it has apprehended or discovered a UAC or an alien who is under 18 years old, and (2) transfer a UAC to HHS custody. The bill: (1) provides for HHS-DHS information sharing concerning UACs, (2) prohibits UAC from applying for asylum if such child may be removed to a safe third country, and (3) provides for additional immigration judges and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorneys. The Department of State is directed to: (1) suspend all foreign assistance to certain countries that refuse to negotiate a child repatriation agreement or accept from the United States repatriated UACs who are nationals or residents of the sending country, and (2) provide certain foreign assistance for repatriation and reintegration purposes. The bill places the burden of proof on an an alien to establish that: (1) the alien's life or freedom would be threatened in a country to which he or she is scheduled to be removed to from the United States; and (2) that race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion would be at least one central reason for such threat. An alien who has committed acts of torture, extrajudicial killings, war crimes, systematic attacks on civilians, persecution, or enforced disappearance of persons shall be inadmissable. The President may make such alien's visa records public. The bill terminates the refugee or asylee status of an alien who: (1) without a compelling reason returns to the country of such alien's nationality or, in the case of an alien having no nationality, returns to the country in which such alien last habitually resided; and (2) applied for such status because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. Such provision shall not apply to an alien who is eligible for adjustment to lawful permanent resident status pursuant to the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966. The bill allows up to 500 grants of asylum per fiscal year to families fleeing home school persecution. A written warning must be included in an asylum application advising the alien of the consequences of filing a frivolous application. If an alien's asylum status is subject to termination, the immigration judge shall determine whether the termination conditions have been met and, if so, terminate the alien's asylum status before considering whether the alien is eligible for adjustment of status.

KIND also advocated with the Department of Justice (Executive Office of Immigration Review) Department of Homeland Security, Department of Health and Human Services and Department of State on administrative measures and policy related to access to justice for unaccompanied immigrant children, access to counsel and due process for unaccompanied immigrant children and addressing root causes of violence in the northern triangle, the Central American Refgees minors (CAMS) program and return and reintegration including: HHS/ORR policy: - Requiring special review of any child who may have had contact with a gang, even as a victim. - Reliance on secure and staff secure facilities and reopen more beds in secure facilities. - Represent the government in bond hearings when a child in ORR custody seeks a bond when reunification has been delayed or denied. DHS policy - Immigration enforcement raids redetaining UACs who have either turned 18 or who are merely suspected of gang affiliation - Targeting sponsors of UAC for immigration enforcement and criminal prosecution as an attempt to deter future refugee flows. - Denying detained children the protection afforded to them under VAWA and instead of developing post-18 plans and releasing children from federal custody when they age out of ORR care, they are ignoring the law and immediately transferring those children to ICE custody at midnight on their 18th birthday. - DHS/ICE/Office of Chief Counsel opposing motions to continue, administratively close and/or terminate UAC cases with pending applications for relief at USCIS or in a state court proceeding including petitions for asylum, SIJS and related state court proceedings, T and U visa applications, and even approved SIJS applications based on the backlog for LPR status. - Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and/or Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs) in response to SIJS applications following centralized processing and implementation of new policy guide. - Questioning children at their asylum interviews about their reunification and status as a UAC. - Requiring additional review of gang-based asylum claims, causing delay and heightened requirements in the adjudication of cases - Turning back asylum seekers, including UACs at Ports of Entry when they ask for asylum. EOIR policy - Allowing Immigration Judges to redetermine UAC status and deny children the opportunity to have their asylum case heard by the asylum office in a non-adversarial setting or be exempt from the one year filing deadline. - Denying requests for termination, administrative closure or continuances for UAC with pending SIJS visa petitions and/or UAC with approved SIJS visa petitions who are subject to visa retrogression (not having the visa category current)
