One Firm, $150M, Thousands of Kids | Texas News
Description
A Houston law firm, Burke Law Group, just landed a $150 million one-year contract to handle legal services for unaccompanied migrant children — a massive deal awarded without competitive bidding. The firm steps in after a previous network of nearly 100 legal groups went unpaid and saw their contract expire, leaving thousands of vulnerable kids without representation. With only two immigration lawyers among 26 employees and ties to a former Trump appointee, Burke’s sudden rise raises serious questions about whether these children will get the legal support they desperately need — as caseloads continue to soar.
