[^1]\n\nMore than 50 legal organizations, firms, and law offices have joined the Children's Due Process Project, which files habeas corpus petitions in federal courts to argue that detained children are being held unlawfully. [^2]\n\nA spokesperson for the Administration for Children and Families at the US Department of Health and Human Services said ORR standards mirror those of the US foster care system and that once a sponsor completes an application, ORR releases children as quickly, or faster, than the foster system. [^3]\n\nChildren in US federal custody had spent an average of 183 days, roughly six months, in shelters or long-term foster care as of end of August, per US government data. [^4]\n\nComments on the proposed information collection must be received by the OMB desk officer by October 2, 2026. [^5]\n\nThe Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), published a Federal Register notice announcing an opportunity for public comment on its intention to collect information, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. [^6]\n\nCMS invites comments on the proposed collection's burden estimate and any other aspect, including the necessity and utility of the collection, the accuracy of the estimated burden, ways to enhance quality, utility, and clarity of the information, and the use of automated collection techniques to minimize burden. [^7]\n\nUnder the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, federal agencies must publish a notice in the Federal Register for each proposed collection of information and must allow a second opportunity for public comment.
