Migrant children who fight to stay in the US will only face the courts after the president's decision to pull the plug from federal financing for legal representatives.
Donald Trump has committed a contract with the Florence Immigrant & Refugee Project, a non -profit organization that offers advice and legal services without papers, non -counseled minors.
Deputy director Roxana Avila-Cimpeanu told AZ Central that the program of the Uncompanied Children program was almost closed by the order, of which she was received on Friday.
It means that migrant children are now confronted with the prospect to argue for themselves before the court against qualified government lawyers, often in a foreign language.
Avila-Cimpeanu said that such children are “alone in the United States, detained by the government, separated from their loved ones and survivors from abandonment, abuse and neglect.”
“To strip legal services for them while they claim to give children the safety, is inhumane,” she added.
Unlike criminal defendants, adults and children who are involved in deportation procedures are not entitled to a public defender.
The order is the final step in the performance of Trump against illegal migration, which is now specifically aimed at non -counseled minors in an attempt to reach the president's deportation goals.
