Senator Durbin Highlights Risks for Immigrant Children Facing Court Without Legal Representation

Senator Dick Durbin and Representative Bill Foster recently visited a shelter in Illinois housing unaccompanied immigrant children who have fled difficult situations in their home countries. Concerns have been raised by immigration attorneys that approximately 26,000 vulnerable immigrant children across the United States could face deportation without legal representation.

Justice Department Drops Charges Against Former Olympian in Reflecting Pool Case

The Department of Justice has decided to drop felony charges against former Olympian David Hearn, who was accused of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Hearn, who had pleaded not guilty, was initially charged after being accused of pulling at the pool's liner during a visit to the National Mall. The DOJ's decision reflects a reassessment of the evidence, attributing the damage to poor workmanship by the contractor responsible for the pool's renovation.
