Episode Details

A vital immigrant legal aid group in West Texas, Estrella del Paso, faces imminent closure after the federal government withheld $765,000 in overdue funds meant to support legal representation for migrant children. With the contract set to expire July 31 and no payment received since December 2025, the organization—already relying on donations—warns that without immediate action, it could shut down, leaving vulnerable children at risk of deportation and erasing decades of service to the immigrant community. A court hearing looms to determine if the government is in contempt for failing to pay, as officials urge swift action to preserve this critical lifeline for justice.
