Legal Groups Helping Migrant Children in the U.S. Report Intimidation by ICE
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Legal organizations assisting unaccompanied migrant children in the U.S. reported attempts by ICE and the Department of Health and Human Services to access their offices, which they claim is part of a campaign to intimidate legal service providers. Historically, the U.S. government has provided legal aid to vulnerable minors, but the Trump administration has sought to cut funding to these NGOs. Three organizations, including Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, Ayuda, and KIND, faced visits from ICE agents demanding financial records without warrants. Activists warn these actions threaten the legal rights of immigrant children, who often cannot navigate the system without legal representation.
