Migrant children who came to the U.S. alone could soon face immigration court without legal representation. The Trump administration is allowing a contract with legal service providers for these children to end. Friday marks the last day of the contract, which supports roughly 20,000 children. Providers warn that without lawyers, children are more likely to be deported. They say the government has withheld payments for over six months, demanding client information they can't ethically provide. The Health and Human Services Department, responsible for these children, didn't respond to requests for comment.
