SC governor bars state from housing unaccompanied minors

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

South Carolina's governor on Monday issued an executive order directing the state's Department of Social Services (DSS) to prevent federal officials from housing minors who arrived unaccompanied by parents or guardians at the U.S.-Mexico border into foster care or group homes in the state.

An executive order signed by Gov. Henry McMaster (R) states that DSS should "prevent placements of unaccompanied migrant children ... into residential group care facilities or other foster care facilities" in the state due to the strain that such placements would cause on the state's system.

In his order, McMaster also cited what he said were "questionable" COVID-19 testing procedures in federal migrant housing facilities as a reason for discouraging the housing of unaccompanied migrant children in state facilities.

The Kingstree News reported that McMaster's order came in response to a letter to the governor from Brian Leach, the head of South Carolina's DSS, who informed McMaster of the federal government's request to transport an unspecified number of migrant children to the state for housing in state care facilities and foster homes.
