Biden-appointed judge blocks Trump admin from terminating legal aid for unaccompanied migrant children

A federal judge in California has blocked the Trump administration from terminating funding for legal counsel for unaccompanied migrant minors.

Appointed by former President Joe Biden, U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín of San Francisco issued a temporary restraining order on Tuesday that will stop the Trump administration from ending the funding while the merits of the underlying case play out.

In her Tuesday order, Martínez-Olguín said that advocates had raised legitimate questions about whether the administration violated the 2008 law, warranting a return to the status quo while the case continues.

The Trump administration on March 21 terminated a contract with the Acacia Center for Justice, which provides legal services for unaccompanied migrant children under 18 through a network of legal aid groups that subcontract with the center. Eleven subcontractor groups sued, saying that 26,000 children were at risk of losing their attorneys; Acacia is not a plaintiff.

Those groups argued that the government has an obligation under a 2008 anti-trafficking law to provide vulnerable children with legal counsel.

The USA taxpayer should have no responsibility for providing legal services to foreigners. Trump should take the funding for these services from judicial paychecks.

You're exactly right......there is NO obligation to provide non-citizens with taxpayer-funded Lawyer fees, whatsoever.

The have no "Standing", in a real world.

Revamp the judiciary!

No judge is empowered to seek out his own pet cases. He is to judge cases brought before him.

In left-think, this is a solution. At least the government can know where these unaccompanied minors are located by legal representation. Unless that is they are not being individually represented and it’s just another money laundering mechanism to enrich the lawyers in the industry.

U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín

Another foreign freeloader embedded in the system by Joe Pedo who is out to get America's honky president. The ho was born in Mexico. She needs to recuse her mangy hippo butt.

Why do unaccompanied migrant minors need legal aid?

Unless they have committed a crime, why would they be going before a court>

If they have committed a crime any legal aid should be provided by state or local public defenders.

Pedo Joe had a real fondness for unaccompanied migrant children. They smelled like piñatas.

I believe immigration has their own judges who merely decide if the person is eligible for deportation.

Most defense attorneys are Democrats

They should be willing to work pro-bono

We need to get rid of these foreign judges. They will always side with foreigners over Americans, no matter how illegal or unconstitutional their actions are.

THAT JUDGE IS OUT OF HIS/HER LANE AND LOST IN EXTRA-CONSTITUTIONAL SPACE.

BAN THAT JUDGE FROM USING ALL U.S. GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS, PROPERTIES, FORMS OF COMMUNICATIONS, AND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS.

Federal judges - except for the USSC - use federal facilities and communications that are on the Executive Branch foundation.

(The USSC building, and its immediately adjacent property “to the curb” are on the Judicial Branch foundation.)

Federal judges are NOT the management of Executive Branch operations.

The Executive Branch - as a courtesy and with some deference - “respects” the LAWFUL Judicial Branch functions that occur on the Executive Branch foundation.

But the federal judges DO NOT have any Constitutional right to operate there, on the Executive Branch foundation.

NOBODY has an obligation to obey any law, any order, that is un-Constitutional.

Extra-Constitutional is also un-Constitutional.

“Legal” is not necessarily “Lawful.”

Follow the lawful; be aware of the foundations.
