Trump Administration Halts Aid For Unaccompanied Migrant Children

The groups were only told that it was done for causes out of their control.

The Trump administration has halted support for legal representation in immigration court for migrant children.

The Acacia Center for justice says it serves 26,000 migrant children under its federal contract.

The Interior Department and Health and Human Services Department oversees thousands of migrant children who enter the United States alone.

An explanation for the stop-work order was not given. The groups were only told that it was done for causes out of their control and should not be interpreted as a judgement of poor performance.

The pause is set to remain in effect until further notice.
