More than 20,000 unaccompanied immigrant children lost their legal representation on Monday because the Trump administration has not entered into a new contract for legal services. This expiration of the existing legal services contract leaves these children facing deportation.
Reporting by Colorado Newsline notes that the lack of legal representation occurs as the administration has not entered into a replacement agreement. These unaccompanied immigrant children are now at risk of deportation due to the expiration of the contract providing legal services.
