MIA joins legal service providers across the country in denouncing the Trump administration's termination of legal services to children who enter the U.S. without a parent or legal guardian.

From the statement:

“The 377 children we represent under the terminated contract live in communities throughout the Mid-South, and they come here seeking protection from human trafficking, sexual violence, child abuse, abandonment, and other extreme harm in their home countries,” said Sally M. Joyner, Legal Director of Mid-South Immigration Advocates.

“We serve as a lifeline for some of the world’s most vulnerable kids who have found safety in our communities. These children have a human right to seek protection under our laws. If the government wants immigrants to go through legal channels, cutting off children’s access to counsel is not the way to support the rule of law,” Ms. Joyner explained.

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that the government’s action will result in unnecessary suffering. Kids who are already integrated into our schools and churches will be deported back to harm and possibly death, even though they qualify for legal status here.”

On Friday, March 21, the Acacia Center for Justice received a notice of near-total termination for the Unaccompanied Children Program. The organization’s network of more than 100 legal service providers released the following statement:
