The Trump administration will start selecting lawyers for unaccompanied minors. Meaning the judges work for Donald Trump, the prosecutors work for Trump, and now the attorneys representing children will work for Trump. This is a rigged system that will result in more untold horrors for these kids.

Inside the Texas courtroom where toddlers face immigration judges | CNN Politics
Migrant children as young as 2 are showing up at immigration courts nationwide, many without attorneys, to try make their case to stay in the US and avoid deportation.
![The Court has considered the implication of both remedies and determined the best
course of action is to temporarily stay the policies. Although this Court has found that Venegas is likely to succeed on the merits, it also recognizes that “[a]n injunction is a drastic and
extraordinary remedy,” Monsanto Co. v. Geertson Seed Farms, 561 U.S. 139, 165, 130 S.Ct. 2743,
177 L.Ed.2d 461 (2010). In the Court’s opinion, staying the likely unlawful policies is a less drastic
remedy sufficient to redress Plaintiff’s alleged injury. See e.g., Kidd v. Mayorkas, 734 F.Supp.3d
967, 987 (S.D. Cal. May 15, 2024) (“the Court finds the less drastic remedy of vacatur to be
sufficient to redress the “Knock and Talk” Class's injury”). Accordingly, the Court will temporarily
stay the (1) Warrantless Entry Policy (permitting immigration officers to raid private construction
sites without a warrant or consent), (2) Preemptive Detention Policy (permitting immigration
officers to preemptively detain employees without a particularized suspicion that persons are
illegal immigrants), and (3) Continued Detention Policy (permitting immigration officers to
continue detaining workers even after they show evidence of citizenship or lawful presence.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreifdefmzqi4vpzv5ozneejjvagsljewyqbnabztledqeofczojrjmu)
