The Trump administration has issued a directive to legal service providers assisting unaccompanied migrant children to halt their services, as per a leaked memo. This decision is part of a series of measures that have been reducing crucial resources for immigrants in the United States, specifically targeting minors who have crossed the southern border without their parents.
The Department of Interior transmitted the order to the Acacia Center for Justice, a nonprofit organization that aids nearly 26,000 children in and released from Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) custody. ORR, a division of the Health and Human Services Department, is responsible for the welfare of unaccompanied migrant children.
