Trump Administration Plans to Have Its Own Lawyers Represent Migrant Kids
The Trump administration plans to have government lawyers represent migrant children in immigration proceedings, replacing the current independent legal representation arrangement. The change, reported by Mother Jones, would shift responsibility for representing unaccompanied minors to attorneys chosen by the administration itself. Critics are expected to raise concerns about conflicts of interest, since government lawyers would answer to the same administration pursuing the children's deportation.
Why now: The proposed shift in legal representation for migrant children raises concerns about conflicts of interest in immigration proceedings.
