None of the amounts authorized to be appropriated by this Act to the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2020 may be used to house a child separated from a parent. The term child separated from a parent means a person who— entered the United States, before attaining 18 years of age, at a port of entry or between ports of entry; and was separated from his or her parent or legal guardian by the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Homeland Security failed to demonstrate in a hearing that the parent or legal guardian was unfit or presented a danger to the child.
