Tens of thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children in the United States face the prospect of navigating immigration court without legal aid after the Trump administration issued a stop-work order to groups providing such services.
The Acacia Center for Justice, which oversees the main federal contract in this area, said it received an order to "stop all work" related to the contract last Friday, CBS News reported. Its executive director, Shaina Aber, said the organization has almost 100 subcontractors providing service to some 26,000 unaccompanied minors across the country.
