COLUMBIA, S.C. (WMBF) – South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster issued an executive order Monday that prevents undocumented, unaccompanied migrant children from the southern border to be placed in the state’s foster care and group homes.
According to information from the governor’s office, McMaster’s order comes after talking with the Department of Social Services on the state child welfare system’s capacity to accommodate an influx of minors.
In an April 8 letter, DSS Director Michael Leach informed McMaster of the federal government’s preliminary inquiries to transport an unknown number of unaccompanied migrant children from the southern border and place them in S.C. foster care and group homes licensed by DSS, a press release stated.
