IL :: DCFS Policy Guide :: 2020.13 – Mexican Consulate Notification Of Mexican Or Mexican American Minors In The Custody/Guardianship Of The Department

  • To: DCFS Child Protection Staff and Supervisors and all DCFS and POS Intact Family Services Workers, their Supervisors, Managers and Administrators
  • From: Marc D. Smith, Acting Director

I. PURPOSE

This Policy Guide replaces Policy Guide 2008.02, Mexican Consulate Notification of Mexican or Mexican American minors in the Custody of the Department. The Memorandum of Understanding between the State of Illinois, Department of Children and Family Services and the Consulate General of Mexico in Chicago, provides for early identification of Mexican or Mexican American minors taken into protective custody by the Department. The child welfare practice issues inherent in the Memorandum of Understanding are directed toward ensuring that the needs of Mexican or Mexican American minors are met when their families are temporarily or permanently unavailable. This revised policy addresses procedures that will facilitate the early coordination of legal and social services to children and their relatives that may be necessary to achieve permanency for the child, including providing the least restrictive placement and supportive services to maintain family ties, ensure appropriate visitation and maintain the child’s ethnic, religious and cultural identity.

The Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of Children and Family Services and the Consulate General of Mexico requires DCFS to notify the Mexican Consulate when a child is determined to be of Mexican ancestry. In order to comply with this requirement DCFS child protection and child welfare and POS workers are to notify the Office of Latino Services which is responsible for notification to the Mexican Consulate.

II. PRIMARY USERS

DCFS Child Protection Staff and Supervisors and all DCFS and POS Intact Family Services Workers, their Supervisors, Managers and Administrators.

III. BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY

The Consular Convention between the United States of America and the United Mexican States (Bilateral Convention) and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (Vienna Convention) provide for consular notification and access in cases where foreign nationals are involved in legal proceedings. These treaties establish the right of representatives or agents of any embassy or consulate of a foreign government to freely communicate with, and have access to, its nationals without interference from the host state.

The Department recognizes the importance of early identification of Mexican or Mexican American minors taken into protective custody in order to protect the fundamental rights of Mexican Nationals and, to the extent possible, provide all of the protections afforded to them by the Vienna Convention, the Bilateral Convention and all other applicable treaties and laws.

IV. DEFINITIONS

“Mexican” means any person who is a national of Mexico, regardless of immigration status in the United States. For consular notification purposes, a minor reported as born in Mexico will be assumed to be a Mexican national.

“Mexican minor” means any unmarried person who is under the age of eighteen and was born in Mexico.

“Mexican American minor” means any unmarried person who is under the age of eighteen, was born in the United States, and who is eligible for Mexican nationality as the biological child of at least one Mexican national.

“Mexican custodian” means the non-parental caretaker of a Mexican minor, who has been entrusted by a parent(s) with the day-to-day care of the minor for any period of time.

“DIF” means the Agency for Integral Family Development. This is the agency in Mexico charged with ensuring the welfare of minors.

V. DETERMINATION OF MEXICAN LINEAGE

Child protection workers are required to establish ancestry of every child taken into protective custody. At the beginning of an investigation, child protection workers will distribute the pamphlet CFS 1050-26, Guide for Parents who are Mexican Nationals, to all Hispanic subjects of reports. In addition, the Memorandum of Understanding between the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and the Consulate General of Mexico requires the Department to notify the Mexican Consulate in writing within ten working days of the decision to take protective custody of a Mexican or Mexican American minor or at any time one of the following occurs:

  • A child for whom the Department is legally responsible (including protective custody) is identified as having Mexican ancestry.
  • A parent or custodian of a Mexican or Mexican American minor requests that the consulate be notified.
  • The Department learns that a non-custodial parent resides in Mexico.

VI. RIGHTS OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES OF MEXICAN ANCESTRY

The DCFS Office of Latino Services is notified of every case that has been opened for a Hispanic child. Children who are determined to be of Mexican ancestry and who are age appropriate, and their parents or custodians shall be advised that:

  • They have the right to freely communicate with consular officers of their country.
  • The Mexican Consular Representatives may interview Mexican or Mexican American minors in the custody of the Department.
  • The Mexican Consulate can receive specific information, otherwise confidential regarding the reason protective custody of the Mexican minor was taken.
  • The Mexican Consulate can assist the Mexican child, parents or custodians in legal proceedings.

VII. INFORMATION PROVIDED TO THE MEXICAN CONSULATE

The DCFS Office of Latino Services is responsible for the notification to the Mexican Consulate and to the Guardianship Administrator that a Mexican or Mexican American minor is in the custody/guardianship of the Department. The initial notification provided to the Mexican Consulate by the Office of Latino Services shall include the name of the minor; the minor’s date of birth, if known; the names, emails, address and telephone number of the parents or custodians, if known; the consent of the parents or custodian to the disclosure; and the name, email and telephone number of the assigned Department caseworker and the caseworker’s supervisor. Workers are to complete the CFS 1000-6, Notification to Mexican Consulate (attached) and submit it to the Office of Latino Services as indicated in section XI of this Policy Guide.

VIII. CONSULATE ACCESS TO MEXICAN OR MEXICAN AMERICAN MINORS IN THE CUSTODY OF THE DEPARTMENT

Although Consular Representatives have the right to interview Mexican minors in the custody of the Department, they must first obtain the approval of the Office of the Guardianship Administrator to interview Department children in care who are of Mexican American ancestry. All interview requests must be submitted to the Guardianship Administrator or designee.

IX. SPECIAL IMMIGRANT JUVENILE STATUS FOR MEXICAN MINORS

The Mexican Consulate will assist the Department in obtaining the necessary documentation from Mexico for Mexican minors in the Department’s custody who are eligible for Special Immigrant Juvenile status.

X. ASSISTANCE PROVIDED BY MEXICAN CONSULATE REGARDING DIF

The Mexican Consulate can assist DCFS and POS caseworkers in obtaining appropriate home studies of families in Mexico who may be resources for these Mexican minors by contacting the DIF. The Mexican Consulate will also ensure that the DIF provides appropriate and necessary services to Mexican minors for whom the Department is legally responsible when they are placed in Mexico, including having monitoring reports forwarded to DCFS and POS caseworkers.

XI. INSTRUCTIONS TO DCFS AND POS STAFF

  1. Identification of Children of Mexican Ancestry

    DCFS and POS child protection workers and permanency workers are required to notify the Office of Latino Services within five working days of:

    • Taking protective custody of a Mexican or Mexican American minor;
    • Identifying a child for whom the Department is legally responsible as having Mexican ancestry;
    • Receiving a request from the parent or custodian of a Mexican or Mexican American minor to notify the consulate; or
    • Learning that a non-custodial parent lives in Mexico.
  2. Required Consent to Release Information

    In order for the Department to notify the Mexican Consulate of a child(ren) of Mexican ancestry, the child protective services worker or the permanency worker must obtain the written consent of the parent(s) or custodians using the CFS 600-3 Consent for the Release of Information. If the parent(s) or custodian(s) refuse to sign the consent, the worker shall document the refusal in the space provided on the CFS 1000-6. While information cannot be released to the Mexican Consulate without the consent of the parent or custodian, workers are still required to submit the CFS 1000-6 to the Office of Latino Services.

  3. Notification to the Office of Latino Services

    When a child is determined to be of Mexican ancestry, the DCFS or POS worker is required to:

    1. Complete the CFS 1000-6;
    2. Obtain the written consent of the parent or custodian to notify the Mexican Consulate by completing the CFS 600-3; and
    3. Submit the CFS 1000-6 and CFS 600-3 (when signed) by fax to; Chief, DCFS Office of Latino Services at (312) 808-5134.
    4. Provide the Office of Latino Services with updates on the case when requested by the Mexican Consulate staff.

    The Office of Latino Services is responsible for informing the Mexican Consulate of Mexican or Mexican American minors protected by the Memorandum of Understanding between the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and the Consulate General of Mexico.

Appendix F, Attachment 2

EMERGENCY CARE PLAN FOR CHILDREN WITH UNDOCUMENTED CAREGIVERS

BACKGROUND

Immigrant families are a large and growing population of the total of all families in the United States. Almost one-fourth of all children and youth in the United States are either immigrants or children of immigrants. As the immigrant population is growing, the numbers in child welfare have also increased slightly. In serving these families, DCFS and POS caseworkers may encounter another dynamic regarding the legal status of immigrant adult caregivers in living in the United States.

PURPOSE

This Section of Appendix F provides guidance for DCFS and POS workers and supervisors working with families who may have the potential to becoming involved in deportation proceedings. It is not the intent of the Department to provide legal advice for these families but rather to provide guidance to assist families (traditional foster care, Home of Relative and biological) in making a care plan for the children in their homes in the event that the caretaker is detained due to his or her undocumented legal status in the United States. Additionally, a list of resources is included at the end of this attachment, which may be given to families when they are developing their care plans.

DEVELOPING A PLAN OF ACTION IF AN EMERGENCY PLACEMENT BECOMES NECESSARY

When assisting families in developing their care plan, caseworkers should review existing policy, which provides the guidelines for developing a plan of action if an emergency placement becomes necessary. DCFS and POS workers with intact or placement cases will ensure families have appropriate child care plans in case of an emergency.

WHAT IS AN EMERGENCY?

For the purpose of this transmittal, an emergency is defined as the death or absence of a parent or foster parent (i.e. car or medical accident, parent detained by law enforcement, victim of a serious crime, etc.). See Procedures 302.387 (b) for additional information.

 


GUARDIANSHIP SERVICES
October 2, 2020 – Attached to PG 2020.13

CASEWORKER RESPONSIBILITIES

Caseworkers must:

  1. Have parents or foster parents identify a family member or friend to care for their children in advance in case of an emergency;
  2. Tell the parents or foster parents to have the telephone numbers of these identified persons with them at all times and make sure you document this information in the case file;
  3. Contact the identified persons to ensure they are in agreement with providing alternative care for the children should an emergency arise; and
  4. Identify and utilize appropriate resource services to assist in such situations (staff will provide relevant information from the attached resources list to parents and foster parents as related to their specific needs and situation).

Caseworkers or supervisors who have questions about developing an emergency plan of care may contact the Immigration Services Unit at 312-814-8600 or by e-mail to DCFS.IMMIGRATIONUNIT@illinois.gov.
