ACF's Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provides funding and oversight to state-licensed shelters throughout the United States for children referred to ORR by the Department of Homeland Security. The children are known as unaccompanied children (UC). They include both children who enter the country without their parent or legal guardian and children who, for other reasons, have been separated from their parent or legal guardian.
Leaving Cert graduates of a certain age will remember The Planterâs Daughter, Austin Clarkeâs poem about a woman whose appearance caused the men who had seen her to drink deep and be silent. Less well known, except to some singers and musicians, is The Palatineâs Daughter, although the two had a lot in common.
The latter was also of striking winsomeness, and if not from the big house, also came with land and money. Crucially, unlike the Planterâs Daughter, she was not unattainable, at least to the song narrator who meets her one day while roving âthrough the groves of Ballyseedyâ. By the final verse, he has won both her and the dowry. This may be why the song is much jauntier than the poem, being set to that lively traditional dance-beat of the Czech Republic and Kerry, the polka.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services finalized a new rule last week rescinding Obama-era regulations that critics argue constitute “discrimination” against faith-based adoption agencies that don’t place children with same-sex couples.
The DHS, led by Secretary Alex Azar, found that a portion of the Code of Federal Regulations outlining requirements for awardees of HHS funds violated portions of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
The code was amended during the latter part of the Obama administration to require all HHS grant-receiving organizations to adhere to rules that forbid discrimination against same-sex couples and LGBT individuals.
