Immigrant legal services organizations have sued the Trump administration for terminating federal funding for programs that support immigrant children entering the U.S. without a parent or guardian. The lawsuit aims to restore immediate access to these programs and ensure that unaccompanied immigrant children receive legal representation. Plaintiffs allege that the termination of this funding through the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Refugee Resettlement violated the Administrative Procedure Act.
