Trump’s Family-First Revolution: Dismantling Clinton-Era Child Welfare Apparatus

Proposed Federal Mandate: Revisit and Reunify

I believe President Trump should issue an order requiring states to re-examine cases where parental rights were terminated under ASFA-driven mandates. If the underlying concerns can be resolved with targeted interventions, then reunification must be explored. This not only respects the constitutional rights of parents but also recognizes that children often fare better psychologically and emotionally when raised by their biological families—provided it’s safe.

What This Means for Families and the Future

With President Trump’s re-election, child protective agencies across the country must confront a growing demand for transparency, fairness, and “family first” strategies. Parents in crisis should no longer be penalized for issues that can be resolved with targeted help. The era of automatic TPR based solely on rigid timelines is nearing its end.
