A graphic with a dark blue background features the title "Authoritarian actions quashing dissent are" with an arrow pointing to a box labeled "Escalating." Below, text states that the White House is barring reporters from POLITICO, MSNow, and CNN, calling it a threat to independent journalism.

The ICE raids and cruelty we are seeing inflicted on children are unacceptable.

The federal government has stripped legal representation from hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children. Many will soon face an impossible choice: navigate our immigration system alone or risk detention and deportation.

Our city is stepping up. We've invested $16.9 million in immigration legal services for unaccompanied children, with another $32 million in this year's immigration legal services budget, including rapid-response legal advice and representation for people in detention.

If you need immigration legal support, we're here to help. Our free, confidential Immigration Legal Support Hotline is available in your preferred language, regardless of immigration status.
