Judge Blocks Trump’s Move to Cut Legal Aid for Migrant Children

A federal judge appointed by President Biden has issued an order blocking the Trump administration's attempt to terminate legal aid for unaccompanied migrant children. The ruling comes in response to a policy that aimed to cut funding for lawyers representing these children, a move that sparked widespread criticism and legal challenges.

The decision, which was handed down on April 2, 2025, ensures that migrant children will continue to receive legal representation, a crucial support system as they navigate the complexities of the U.S. immigration system. The Trump administration's policy was seen as an effort to expedite deportations by limiting access to legal counsel.

Advocates for immigrant rights hailed the judge's decision as a victory for justice and fairness. They argue that legal representation is essential for ensuring that the rights of these vulnerable children are protected. The ruling has reignited debates over immigration policy and the treatment of migrants at the U.S. border.
