Trump administration sued over accelerated immigration process for migrant kids
The lawsuit says more than 600 asylum interview notices were issued since Aug. 1, limiting preparation and legal help for unaccompanied children.
- A group of six legal service providers filed a lawsuit Thursday in the District Court challenging the Trump administration's accelerated immigration process for Migrant children.
- Under President Donald Trump, the administration ended a long-standing contract for legal services this summer, forcing children to navigate an accelerated system with dwindling assistance and unprecedented case completion pace.
- Since August, Plaintiffs received more than 600 interview notices with sometimes only 24-hour notice, while the lawsuit demands return to the 21 days notice mandated by the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008.
- Migrant children as young as 2 appear in immigration courts nationwide without legal representation to fight deportation, while attorneys report being forced to represent multiple children in simultaneous asylum interviews.
- The Trump administration has previously denied fast-tracking cases, arguing officials prioritize efficiency, while the lawsuit characterizes the system as a "deportation assembly line" depriving children of their rights.
