Burke Law Group Awarded $150 Million Contract to Represent Unaccompanied Migrant Children Amid Concerns

Burke Law Group has been awarded a $150 million contract to represent unaccompanied migrant children in government custody, despite having limited experience in immigration law and child welfare.
The contract will only cover approximately 1,800 children in shelters, leaving nearly 22,000 children without representation.
The contract follows the expiration of a previous agreement with legal nonprofits that provided similar services, raising questions about the continuity of legal support for these vulnerable children.
