FILE – A Southwest Key Programs sign is displayed on June 20, 2014, in Brownsville, Texas. Southwest Key, the largest housing provider for unaccompanied migrant children has been accused of “severe, pervasive, and unwelcome sexual abuse of and harassment” of children in its care, the Justice Department said Thursday, July 18, 2024. AUSTIN, Texas — Employees of the largest housing provider for unaccompanied migrant children in the U.S.

In a statement, Southwest Key said it was reviewing the complaint and disputed the portrayal of its care for children. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Austin, where Southwest Key is based, provides extensive details, saying authorities received more than 100 reports of sexual abuse or harassment at the provider’s shelters since 2015.Semitruck driver in fatal U.S. 285 crash in Aspen Park did not have a valid driver’s license

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said Thursday that the complaint “raises serious pattern or practice concerns” about Southwest Key. “HHS has a zero-tolerance policy for all forms of sexual abuse, sexual harassment, inappropriate sexual behavior, and discrimination,” he said in a statement.

Leecia Welch, an attorney for unaccompanied children in the case for court oversight, said the allegations against Southwest Key are “absolutely disgusting” and blamed Texas’ revocation of licenses for “a powder keg waiting to explode.”
