Crazy Judge Orders Trump Admin To Start Paying For Legal Help For Illegal Children

Of course, these children have to be found first, since the Biden admin shipped them all over and didn’t keep track of them

Congress considers ending legal help for migrant children after judge orders restart

Just before a judge ordered it to do so, the Trump administration agreed to resume paying for attorneys for migrant children who come to the United States alone.

But groups that have been struggling to keep such unaccompanied children from being deported said the legal help is still in jeopardy under a Republican proposal put forward in a House committee Wednesday.

“I have been doing this work for a very long time, and what I read in this bill took by breath away,” said Jennifer Podkul, vice president for policy and advocacy at Kids in Need of Defense. “This bill not only makes it impossible for children to access protection in the United States, but it would make the government responsible for putting children in even more compromised and dangerous conditions.”

The White House, the Department of Health and Human Services and the House Judiciary Committee, which considered the measure, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguin, in California’s Northern District, issued a preliminary injunction late Tuesday ordering the administration to resume the money for the legal assistance, which it had stopped in March.

Pretty nice scam: Democrats open the border, entice parents to send their kids on long, dangerous journeys to America, then left wing groups get tons of taxpayer money to represent the kids, in an attempt to make sure they do not get deported and that their parents are then brought to the US. Was this money appropriated specifically by Congress? Or, was it just open money given to federal agencies who then gave it to these private companies with zero oversight?

But how long the funding will last could depend on what Congress does in the budget legislation currently being written. The measure considered by the House committee would omit money for attorneys for unaccompanied children, which Congress has paid for since 2009, according to immigration and anti-trafficking groups that reviewed the legislation, attorneys with the groups said.

But, I’m not seeing any line items specifically for this. Regardless

The measure also proposed a number of fees that would charge unaccompanied children and their parents or guardians whom they could end up with in the United States. They included $5,000 for arriving at the border between legal ports of entry, as well as sponsorship fees of up to $8,500.

Why should the US taxpayers foot the bill? If lawyers want to represent them let it come from donations from the open borders groups. Or pro-bono. But, really, at this point, the number of arrivals at the border is extremely low, so, there aren’t many unacompanied kids showing up, because the parents have been told “border’s closed, don’t come.)
