A month after Donald Trump's return to the White House, the government has suspended a critical program assisting undocumented children at the border. This halt jeopardizes children's ability to defend their asylum claims in a complicated judicial landscape, especially for those who do not speak English. Advocacy organizations, including the Acacia Center for Justice, raise concerns about undermining due process and worsening outcomes for already traumatized children. The suspension, attributed to uncontrollable factors, was communicated with a stop-work order, leaving many vulnerable children without necessary legal support.
The administration's decision to suspend this program undermines due process, disproportionately impacts vulnerable children, and puts those who have already experienced severe trauma at risk.
Organizations dedicated to their defense received a stop-work order... because the government is halting a federally funded program.
