During Trump’s first term, 70% of kids in immigration court were deported.
Now, the current admin has cut legal funding that helped protect these kids.
No attorney = higher risk of wrongful deportation, even if a child qualifies to stay.
We're fighting back.

In March the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services abruptly cut funding for legal services for over 26,000 unaccompanied immigrant children.
This decision is not just cruel, it’s unlawful. So we sued.
Our lawsuit rests on several legal violations. 🧵
