- Thousands of immigrant kids risk losing legal aid after Trump administration delays funds
The Trump administration has withheld $65 million in federal funds for legal representation of 20,000 unaccompanied immigrant children, risking their ability to retain lawyers and increasing deportation risks. Legal organizations report declining partnerships due to non-payment, citing refusal to share sensitive case data as the reason for withheld funds.
