Trump extends anti-immigrant crusade to children: Government withdraws legal aid for unaccompanied minors
One month after Donald Trump’s return to the White House, the government has approved a measure that falls under two of its priorities: cutting government spending and boosting its anti-immigrant crusade. This time, the victims are the undocumented children who arrive at the border alone. Organizations dedicated to their defense received a stop-work order on Tuesday because the government is halting a federally funded program. With this, children who entered the United States without an adult are now left alone to defend their asylum cases in a complex judicial system that also operates in a language that most do not understand.
