Thousands of immigrant kids risk losing legal aid after Trump administration delays funds

Up to 20,000 unaccompanied immigrant children could lose their federally funded legal representation because the Trump administration hasn't released $65 million in appropriated funds for six months. This delay from the Health and Human Services Department's Office of Refugee Resettlement jeopardizes the legal aid these kids rely on for navigating the U.S. immigration system. This situation highlights the broader implications of administrative delays on vulnerable populations and raises questions about the administration's commitment to protecting the rights of immigrant children.
