Lawyers helping migrant children facing deportation ordered by Trump administration to “stop all work”
Legal services groups that offer representation and guidance to thousands of migrant children facing deportation said on Tuesday that they were abruptly directed by the Trump administration to halt their government-funded work.
Affected organizations across the U.S. said the move would prevent them from offering critical legal services, including “know your rights” sessions, to migrant children who crossed the U.S. southern border without their parents or legal guardians.
