Federal Contract Expiration Leaves NY Migrant Children Without Legal Representation

Federal Contract Expiration Leaves NY Migrant Children Without Legal Representation

Over 1,400 migrant children in New York, including more than 700 in New York City, face the loss of legal assistance as a federal contract with the Acacia Center for Justice expires. This contract funded legal representation for unaccompanied migrant children, and its expiration leaves many children at risk of appearing alone in immigration court. The Office of Refugee Resettlement offered to extend the contract, but terms could not be agreed upon. The lapse in funding comes amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, which has expedited court hearings and asylum interviews for migrant children.

Senator Cornyn's Opposition Threatens Todd Blanche's Attorney General Nomination Over Trump IRS Settlement

Senator Cornyn's Opposition Threatens Todd Blanche's Attorney General Nomination Over Trump IRS Settlement

Senator John Cornyn has announced his opposition to Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General unless changes are made to a settlement agreement involving President Trump and the IRS. Cornyn demands that the agreement, which includes a $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' and tax audit immunity for Trump and his family, be rescinded. The Texas Republican's stance could jeopardize Blanche's confirmation, as the Senate Judiciary Committee is set to vote on the nomination. Cornyn is in discussions with Blanche and the Justice Department but has not yet secured the modifications he seeks. The situation remains fluid, with the potential for the vote to be postponed if Cornyn's demands are not met.
