⚖Children navigating the immigration system deserve fairness, stability, and meaningful access to legal representation.

📰A report from The Seattle Times sheds light on the growing use of "mega hearings" for unaccompanied immigrant children, where more than 100 cases may be scheduled in a single day, and families are often given far less time to secure legal counsel.

These policy changes have real consequences for children and families.

✊🏽Staying informed is an important step toward understanding how our immigration system is evolving and why access to due process matters.
