The
Department of Health and Human Services announced Tuesday that it would
provide $9 million over two years for lawyers to represent
unaccompanied minors in their deportation
cases in immigration courts. The program, which will assist about 2,600
youths, is the first time the department has directly funded lawyers
for those minors. In the 2014 fiscal year ending Tuesday, the department
took custody of about 58,100 unaccompanied
children caught at the border, officials said, more than double the
number in 2013 but far fewer than estimates of 90,000 during a surge in
South Texas in June.
