The thought of thousands of leftist lawyers in prisons....if that happens it means I died and went to heaven.

Good for Trump.

This has been a center for unconstitutional Leftist power for decades.

...contract pause would also force non-profits to use their own funds to continue representing migrant children...

[Resolute Conservative]

Nothing ethical about helping illegals stay here regardless of their age.

[dfwgator]

And I hear the U.S.S.R will be open soon
As Vacation Land for lawyers in love

The government has long funded efforts by nonprofits to provide these children legal counsel — both in custody and after they are released from government care — while immigration judges decide whether they can remain in the U.S.

US taxpayers are paying for illegals to evade the law. Great.

“who is typically a relative in the U.S.“

How many stories have there been about kids being placed with people they never knew?

Then just so happen to get “lost” by the government?

How about putting them back where they belong?

In fact it is immoral.

Aber said the stop work order would immediately halt funding for know your rights presentations and legal screenings that lawyers conduct soon after migrant children arrive in the U.S. to determine whether they qualify for a benefit that would allow them to stay in the country legally.

Hmmm. Seems to me that if the lawyers really cared they would donate their time to help the poor, little children.

Less tax dollars wasted good deal.

[LilOlLady]

Return these runaway ‘children’ to their parents.

[NavyShoe]

Sandy Cortez is pissed. lol

[kvanbrunt2]

Our government should not be aiding in this child sex trafficking business.

[Kid Shelleen]

>> Aber said the stop work order would immediately halt funding <<

Looks like another money laundering operation to help elites. If it's not about the money can they still work pro bono?

WHAT “RIGHTS”??????

THEY ARE IN THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. PERIOD — NO EXCEPTIONS

IN THE PRIOR YEARS-—IT WAS CALLED “WITHOUT PAPERS” AKA “WOPS”.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE WORKERS FOR THESE NGO’S IS BREAKING THE LAW:

AIDING / ABETTING / HARBORING === FEDERAL FELONIES

[csn vinnie]

It seems to me a lawyer can advise and represent anyone he or she chooses to take as a client. What is happening is that they won’t get paid by the taxpayer for it.

[ridesthemiles]

IMO-—AMERICAN TAXPAYERS NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH OF THEIR MONEY WAS BEING PAID TO UNDERMINE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
