24,000 migrant minors risk losing legal aid
A federal contract funding nonprofit legal services for over 24,000 unaccompanied immigrant children is set to expire, risking the loss of legal representation for many facing deportation. The expiration has raised concerns from advocates and legal organizations, which argue that attorneys are essential for protecting children’s rights, uncovering abuse, and exposing government failures. The termination of funding is attributed to the Trump administration’s refusal to reimburse approximately $65 million already owed to nonprofits, affecting about 90 organizations nationwide. This development hampers efforts to ensure due process and legal protections for vulnerable immigrant children in the U.S.
