One Seattle judge heard 106 children’s immigration cases in a single day. More than 30 children who did not appear were ordered deported. Children need legal representation and time, not accelerated hearings in a system that was never designed for them. kuow.org/stories/seattl…

Young people who came to the U.S. alone as children are now being detained and deported at 3x the previous rate. They deserve counsel, due process and a fair chance to seek protection—not detention and accelerated deportation. Via @ProPublica: propublica.org/article/unacco…

Mass transfers are not child protection. Unaccompanied children need legal support and stability, not to be moved into already strained systems and pressured to abandon their cases. texastribune.org/2026/07/03/tru…

The Texas Supreme Court’s ruling blocking Harris County’s Immigrant Legal Services Fund threatens services for about 80 KIND clients, and undermines a community-backed effort to keep children from facing deportation proceedings alone. Our statement. supportkind.org/press-releases…

For more than 40 years, Plyler v. Doe has helped protect children’s right to attend public school, regardless of immigration status. In the coming weeks, we’ll share why this protection still matters, & what’s at stake when any child is pushed out of the classroom. #RighttoLearn

More than 425,000 children are in immigration court without an attorney. That means children are trying to understand hearings, deadlines, and the threat of deportation without someone by their side. No child should have to go through that alone. dropsitenews.com/p/children-att…

A 5-year-old should not have to argue her own asylum case. Immigrant children are being pushed through a complex legal system without guaranteed counsel. New Jersey’s investment in legal support helps children have a meaningful chance to seek protection. nj.com/opinion/2026/0…

Unaccompanied children's legal services are under attack, and the funding that makes this work possible is at risk. Add your name to join KIND and members of Congress advocating for continued funding for children’s legal services. act.supportkind.org/page/99071/pet…

Today's ruling lets the administration reinstate policies turning away asylum seekers — leaving countless children with nowhere safe to turn. Read our full statement: supportkind.org/press-releases…

"The Supreme Court's decision opens the door to restrictive border measures that endanger those seeking protection — especially children. We've seen this before. Families stranded in danger, exposed to violence & trafficking." – KIND President Wendy Young

Unaccompanied children should not face immigration court alone. Without attorneys, children are at greater risk of exploitation, trafficking, and being returned to the very danger they fled. Learn why legal representation is a critical safeguard. bit.ly/4eFUGxb

A new EU-backed project in Albania is shifting toward a child protection response, with stronger social services, case management, and support for children at risk. This is the kind of approach children need, one centered on safety and care. infomigrants.net/en/post/71999/…

At 16, Ayrad* reached Poland alone after fleeing conflict. Misleading information put him at risk of being returned to danger. With legal support and a trusted adult beside him, he found stability & a path forward. This #WorldRefugeeDay, read his story: supportkind.org/stories/client…

Children wrongly assessed as adults have been charged with immigration offences and are being held in adult prisons, with some having already survived torture. shorturl.at/EpxXL

I am privileged to serve on the board of @supportKIND, the nation’s largest legal service provider to unaccompanied children. The work has been done. Yet the government won’t pay what it owes, over $20M, some unpaid since December, and is now targeting KIND and others who defend the due process rights of children. 70+ members of Congress from both parties have asked it to honor those contracts. This isn’t about politics. It’s about the rule of law, due process and the greatest countryin the history of the world keeping its wor

Thank you, @RepDonBeyer, for your leadership and commitment to oversight. Access to legal services is a critical safeguard for unaccompanied children. We appreciate your support for protecting these longstanding, bipartisan-supported programs and the children who rely on them.

KIND is proud to endorse the Fair Day in Court for Kids Act, critical legislation that would ensure no unaccompanied child faces immigration court alone. Thank you @RepZoeLofgren for introducing this bill and standing up for children’s right to counsel. supportkind.org/press-releases…

It’s heartbreaking to see little kids appearing all alone in immigration court, without a lawyer. This week, I led 15 of my colleagues to introduce the Fair Day in Court for Kids Act, to ensure that unaccompanied minors get legal representation during immigration proceedings.

Every child deserves access to quality legal representation — NJ legislators must increase funding for the Legal Representation for Children and Youth Program to $10M! #InvestinNJYouth #AccessToJustice @sensarlo @SenGreenstein @AswPintorMarin @NJLD37

We should all be able to agree that the people and organizations dedicated to protecting children deserve the space to do their work without interference. Federal agents attempting to conduct a warrantless search of KIND and other advocacy organizations that serve immigrant children is a blatant attempt to intimidate them out of their critical work. It is cruel and unacceptable.
