The ICWA is considered the gold standard of child welfare laws and establishes a process that promotes efforts to keep children connected to their families, communities and heritage. There’s a reason those who know the ICWA best — from child welfare experts to tribes — have filed briefs defending the law.
Attacks on the ICWA prioritize politics over a process proven to work. Overturning this law would upend legal precedent and hurt those who matter most: our children.
