Episode Details

Over 20,000 unaccompanied children have suddenly lost their legal representation as their contract expired without a replacement—leaving less than 10% of them able to win asylum cases. With no new contractors selected and agencies silent on who will step in, advocates fear deportations are accelerating for vulnerable kids. The previous contractor, owed $65 million, warns new groups might hand over sensitive case details to the government, risking children’s chances in court.

Lawyers can’t even begin helping kids without critical files, leaving thousands in legal limbo and exposed.
