All noncitizen children in immigration custody shall be treated fairly and equally and provided with inclusive, safe, and nondiscriminatory services. Noncitizen children in immigration custody shall have the right to be free from discrimination and harassment on the basis of actual or perceived characteristics relating to race, ethnic group identification, ancestry, national origin, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression), language, mental or physical disability, or HIV status.
Services provided to noncitizen children under this Act shall be delivered in a manner that is sensitive to the age, culture, native language, and complex needs of each noncitizen child. Nothing in this title shall be construed to diminish any protection under any other Federal or State anti-discrimination law.
