Trump administration sued over accelerated immigration process for migrant kids

by Kellie N. Lego

On Thursday October 15, a group of six legal service providers who work with unaccompanied migrant children filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration. They feel that these children are being forced to go through a more complex and accelerated immigration process with little to no legal resources and that is not what Congress intended. The lawsuit states, “This is not the immigration process that Congress intended for unaccompanied children; it is a deportation assembly line depriving them of their rights,”!

For more information, please review the CNN News article, “Trump administration sued over accelerated immigration process for migrant kids“.
