Trump Deputies Stop Funding Free Lawyers
for Migrant Youths

Original Article

Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 2/20/2025 8:06:24 PM

President Donald Trump’s administration has stopped providing free lawyers to 26,000 migrant youths, many who are asking for green cards. The lawyers argue that many of their migrant-youth clients have been abandoned by their parents and so deserve green cards via the “Special Immigrant Juvenile” loophole in immigration law. But the lawyers’ claims of “abandonment” are often belied by the reality that the youth migrants crossed the border in search of jobs while one or both parents stayed behind in their home country.

Exactly. Why should MY tax dollars pay to defend these people against ME?

From the article: "The Acacia Center for Justice had received $200 million from the Biden administration, but its contract is up this year. The center distributes federal dollars to nearly 100 other law firms, groups, and agencies that represent the migrant children. One such group is the Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, based in Washington, DC. Amica is a partner with the Muslim advocacy group CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land terror network investigation." They will continue if you allow it.

So these lawyers were not actually "free" lawyers, meaning that they were donating their time pro bono. No, they were getting rich off of the American taxpayer.

Anyone have any information as to the RATE these crooks were charging US to represent the Illegals? Also, what was the bureaucratic 'Overhead' rate that each organization was charging as they passed the Ca$h down the line? By the way, the 'overhead percentage' is the percentage of 'overhead' on the INCOMING money, so a job that costs $100, with 'overhead' of 50% now costs $200, as it's 50% of the INCOMING $200 that gets siphoned off. It's how 'The Overhead Game' works. If there were two layers of 'Overhead' at 50% each, a $200/hour lawyer's charge now costs US $800/hour! Not saying the 'overhead' rate is 50%. It may be less, it easily may be MORE!

Excellent move. This will discourage further border jumping. Now, I want to see the NGO's behind bringing in illegals, criminally charged.

The fiery hosts at ABC’s “The View” have faced pressure to dial back their anti-President Trump rhetoric — even as “morale is low” among staffers following layoffs and unpopular cost-cutting moves, The Post has learned. A source close to the show’s co-hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro — said the mood on the set is increasingly tense at the daytime talk show.

Steve Bannon said Thursday a “choir” of Jan. 6 Capitol rioters should perform at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts now that President Donald Trump is the venue’s chairman. Bannon said the choir would be welcomed at the center with Ric Grenell serving as president – and after Trump was elected as chair by a board he appointed. While addressing a crowd at the annual CPAC convention, Bannon also suggested that “elites” who usually get the best seats at the Kennedy Center should spend a night in a “gulag.” “The J-sixers are here at CPAC,” he said. “All of them!

The Trump administration is considering steps that could give it more control over the independent US Postal Service, according to multiple published reports. It’s a move that could upend how Americans get critical deliveries including online purchases, prescription drugs, checks and vote-by-mail ballots. The Washington Post first reported late Thursday, citing numerous anonymous sources, that President Donald Trump planned to disband the US Postal Service’s Board of Governors and place the agency under direct control of the Commerce Department and Secretary Howard Lutnick. The Wall Street Journal also Friday reported on the plan to dissolve the commission, citing government officials. The Postal Service did not respond to requests for comment.

The US government will end the temporary protected status (TPS) for 500,000 Haitians living in the country in August, the Department of Homeland Security said on Thursday. This comes despite deteriorating conditions in the Caribbean country, with gangs controlling about 85% of the capital and sexual violence against children increasing by 1,000% last year, according to the United Nations. TPS is granted to nationals of designated countries facing unsafe conditions, such as armed conflict or environmental disasters. US President Donald Trump has moved to overhaul parts of the US immigration system since returning to office and promised "mass deportations" and arrests.

The deadline for public comment and submissions is May 21. Ferguson was appointed by President Trump last month to replace Joe Biden’s radical appointee Lina Khan. Ferguson posted to X about the inquiry: Big Tech censorship is not just un-American, it is potentially illegal. The FTC wants your help to investigate these potential violations of the law.

Immigration advocates have filed two suits challenging the Trump administration’s stripping of deportation protection for some Venezuelans in the United States. The suits target a move by Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem to rescind Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans who have fled to the U.S. in recent years. The January order from Noem impacts two clusters of Venezuelans. “Secretary Noem took two illegal actions within one week of assuming her role at the head of DHS. Three days after her confirmation, she ‘vacated’ an extension of TPS protections for Venezuelans residing in the United States, just weeks after the extension was duly published in the Federal Register.

Several cities in northern Mexico have seen a major drop in the arrival of migrants seeking to reach the US border since President Donald Trump returned to the White House. The Comarca Lagunera region, which consists of five cities in the state of Coahuila and 10 in the state of Durango, experienced a 95 to 97 percent drop in migrants from the south trying to reach the US toward the end of last year, Milenio reported. During the first couple of months of 2024, officials normally encountered groups of up to 800 migrants passing through the area, said Raul Meraz, undersecretary for the region.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) cancelled $4 million in contracts promoting “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) Thursday after the agency’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) task force identified them as wasteful spending. The terminated contracts were intended for “DEI culture transformation,” including “outward mindset training and diversity and inclusion research subscription services,” HUD said in a press release. Sec. Scott Turner, who was confirmed to lead HUD on February 5, has already identified $260 million in savings after launching his department’s DOGE task force. “It is inexcusable the American taxpayer was footing the bill for the promotion of DEI propaganda,” Turner said

Carville, who predicted former Vice President Kamala Harris would be elected to the presidency last November, cited polling and urged Democrats to “just sit back” and let the so-called “collapse” take place. “[L]et me back up,” he said. “We went with our seven-string quarterback, and we lost by a point and a half, and we actually picked up a congressional seat.

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett could not comprehend the idea of the federal government handing out dividends to Americans over the money it has wasted for decades during a Thursday segment on ABC News. President Donald Trump expressed interest in handing out $5,000 dividend checks to every taxpayer with the money saved by the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) downsizing of the federal government. Crockett said she does not believe $5,000 will help out the average American and appeared to ignore the fact that the federal government has wasted billions of dollars in spending for several years.

After Hamas terrorists paraded the coffins of the Bibas children around Gaza before their Thursday release, it was hard to imagine that there was any room for the family’s tragic ordeal to get even worse. And yet, somehow it has. A short while ago, the Israel Defense Forces announced a forensics examination identified Kfir and Ariel Bibas (who were nine months old and four years old at the time of their abduction) as two of the bodies returned by Hamas, determining that they were brutally murdered in November 2023. While this tragic news was expected, another detail came as a shock: “During the identification process, it was determined

Specialists at Abu Kabir Forensic Institute determined that Ariel and Kfir were “brutally murdered by terrorists” in November 2023, and that “the additional body received” was not Shiri’s. The specialist confirmed the identities of Ariel, Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz, a retired journalist. “No match was found for any other hostage. This is an anonymous, unidentified body,”
