Houston Law Firm Takes Over Migrant Kids’ Legal Aid | Houston News
Description
A Houston law firm, Burke Law Group, just landed a $150 million federal contract to represent unaccompanied migrant children — bypassing standard bidding and replacing nearly 100 unpaid legal providers. With only two of its 26 staff specializing in immigration law, the firm’s appointment has sparked concern, especially since it replaces Acacia Center for Justice, which successfully served over 20,000 kids under federal mandate. This move raises urgent questions about whether vulnerable minors will receive the independent legal support they’re constitutionally entitled to.
