Duckworth, Advocates Urge Trump to Restore Legal Aid for Migrant Children

Original: Duckworth, Advocates Demand Trump Restore Independent Legal Aid for Immigrant Kids

US Senator Tammy Duckworth, joined by immigrant advocacy groups, is pressing the Trump administration to restore independent legal representation for immigrant children. The call follows cuts to federally funded legal aid programs that had provided unaccompanied minors with lawyers in immigration proceedings. Advocates argue that without independent counsel, children face deportation hearings alone, and they are demanding the administration reinstate funding immediately.

Why now: Funding cuts to legal aid for unaccompanied immigrant children have sparked public criticism and a push for the administration to reverse the decision.
