🚨 The contract to defend unaccompanied children ends TODAY, gutting due process 20,000+ kids. Having a legal service provider by their side can make the difference in whether a child is heard or deported. Tell Congress to protect kids ➡️ tinyurl.com/protect-kids

[1] Every child deserves to have a trusted adult in their corner to help keep them safe. But the Trump Administration is working to take lawyers away from over 20,000 children to make it easier to deport them and return them to harm.

Today, contracts supporting legal services for unaccompanied immigrant children are set to expire-leaving approximately 20,000 vulnerable children without support in immigration court. Read more here: bit.ly/4vTjhoG Tell Congress to protect kids ➡️ tinyurl.com/protect-kids

In just 5️⃣ days, HHS-funded contracts supporting legal services for unaccompanied immigrant children are set to expire on July 31. This could leave approximately 20,000 vulnerable children without an attorney or a clear path forward in immigration court. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4vTjhoG

Since 2003, protecting unaccompanied children and funding legal services for them has had bipartisan support. But after July 31, these kids — some too young to speak — face the real possibility of going into immigration court alone. Tell Congress to protect kids ➡️ tinyurl.com/protect-kids

[1] Right now, tens of thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children — some too young to speak for themselves — are at risk of being deported without a fair chance to defend themselves.

[1] Picture a child. Maybe eight years old, maybe younger, sitting alone in an immigration courtroom. They don’t have a lawyer, but the government does. No one is by their side to explain to them what is happening or what is at stake.

[1] Congress needs to act immediately to protect TPS holders & their families from the devastating consequences of detention, deportation, and family separation. The impacts are likely to affect an est. 400,000 children of TPS-eligible parents–with over a 1/4 of children under 5.

[1] The Trump Administration has created a nationwide crisis for children by un-documenting, arresting, detaining, and deporting their parents, and ongoing attacks on TPS and DACA have created instability for families. A discharge petition can change that. This discharge petition can change that.

[1] Every child deserves someone in their corner. The Trump administration has withheld $65 million owed to children's lawyers — and their contract expires July 31. Tens of thousands of children will be left to face immigration court alone.
