Law Firm Linked to Trump Administration Rejects Offer to Represent Migrant Children
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A Texas law firm linked to the Trump administration has declined a $150 million federal contract to represent unaccompanied migrant children. Another organization, Our Rescue, received contracts worth up to $244 million despite facing allegations against its former CEO. The Burke Law Group, based in Houston, has limited immigration experience and did not provide reasons for rejecting the contract. Currently, unaccompanied minors in federal custody are temporarily represented by another group, with uncertainty about future representation as contracts expire in December. The situation raises concerns about legal representation for vulnerable children amid ongoing immigration enforcement.
