Summer Lee, Chris Deluzio Raise Alarm as Federal Government Ends Legal Representation for Hundreds of Unaccompanied Migrant Children in PA | 2026-07-31 | 2026 | 2026-07 | Democrat | House | PA | Summer L. Lee | L000602 | summerlee.house.gov | summerlee | https://summerlee.house.gov/newsroom/press-releases | scraper | “Children, many of which have fled violence and exploitation, should not be forced to appear in court alone without representation. Please provide responses to the following questions by August 10, 2026: 1. Why has ORR failed to present the Acacia center with guidance on case continuity? 2. How will the government ensure its compliance with statutory language and court order requiring that unaccompanied children receive legal services? 3. What plans are in place to ensure these unaccompanied minors' cases receive due process according to the law? 4. What is the Administration's plan to transfer or transition these cases and the work of these organizations? 5. When will the Administration release the payments owed to legal services providers? Rep. Lee has consistently fought to protect immigrant children and families, defend due process, and hold federal immigration agencies accountable. She previously raised the alarm after the Trump administration canceled legal-service contracts that left children as young as two at risk of representing themselves in immigration court. Lee has also demanded answers following the detention of a Western Pennsylvania asylum seeker and introduced legislation to redirect federal immigration-enforcement funding toward legal assistance, housing, healthcare, and community-based services. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, Lee continues working to protect constitutional rights and ensure every person receives fair treatment under the law. | 1 | 2026-08-01T07:27:26Z | 2026-08-01T07:28:22Z |
