Trump Halts Legal Aid, Cuts Migrant Benefits

The Trump administration has issued a stop-work order to organizations providing legal representation to unaccompanied migrant children, impacting services for over 26,000 children. This decision affects groups like the Acacia Center for Justice and Legal Services for Children, leaving many vulnerable minors without legal aid in immigration proceedings. Critics argue this move undermines due process and places children at greater risk of harm or trafficking. The administration's decision is part of a broader effort to streamline government services and crack down on illegal immigration. President Trump has also signed an executive order to eliminate federal benefits for undocumented migrants, emphasizing support for American citizens. These actions highlight Trump's continued focus on immigration reform and reducing government spending on services for undocumented individuals.
