Reported on the results of their three grant-funded cases.
Challenged the federal government’s failure to provide thousands of immigrant children nationwide with counsel when trying to deport them in immigration court. F.L.B. v. Barr
While the case was ultimately dismissed on jurisdictional grounds, the fight to ensure that children are not forced into immigration court without the assistance of counsel continues. Supported with the information obtained in F.L.B. about the government’s treatment of unrepresented children in immigration court, the litigation partners continue to raise the issue in individual children’s cases.
