‘Children are going to die’: advocates decry migrant-child legal contrac

The federal government awarded a $150 million contract to Texas-based Burke Law Group, a corporate law firm with 26 staff, to represent 1,800 unaccompanied migrant children. Advocates criticize the move as undermining due process and fast-tracking deportations, citing the firm's lack of immigration law expertise. The Trump administration has previously issued stop work orders and withheld payments from nonprofit legal aid providers for these children.
