Velasquez, L., Aplt v. Miranda, L.

Summary

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court held that a Pennsylvania custody court may issue the predicate judicial findings required for a Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) classification, reversing the Superior Court’s limitation of SIJ determinations to dependency proceedings and remanding for entry of SIJ findings. The Court also affirmed that the record supports the children’s entitlement to those predicate findings.
