Law firm with ties to Trump administration declines offer to represent migrant children
A small law firm with ties to the Trump administration declined a $150 million contract to represent migrant children, while another group received work worth up to $244 million to advocate for them. These events occur amid questions about who will represent unaccompanied migrant children in court due to plans for mass deportations. The federal Office of Refugee Resettlement oversaw the contracts and awarded the larger sum to Our Rescue.
