New York Allocating $7 Million for Immigrant Children's Legal Services, Hochul Announces
The funding aims to keep children from facing immigration hearings alone as a lapsed federal contract leaves 20,000 minors at risk, advocates said.
- On Wednesday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced $7.25 million in state funding to provide legal services for roughly 1,400 unaccompanied immigrant children facing deportation proceedings.
- The allocation addresses a critical gap created when the Trump administration allowed a $200 million federal contract providing legal aid for over 24,000 unaccompanied minors nationwide to lapse on July 31.
- Without legal counsel, children as young as 5 often appear in immigration court alone; data shows such minors win relief less than 10% of the time.
- Joining Hochul, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Attorney General Letitia James criticized the federal funding lapse, calling it a "deportation order" for vulnerable youth.
- Amid reports of increasing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations across New York City, state officials vowed to push back against federal overreach threatening immigrant families.
