The Project
Even when children are no longer detained and have been reunified with family members in Houston, they still have very limited access to a lawyer and will probably attend their scheduled immigration court hearings without any legal representation. Through a combination of direct legal representation and assistance from pro bono attorneys, I hope to provide legal representation to all unaccompanied immigrant children in the Houston area.
