U.S. Representative Dan Goldman (D-NY) warned on Tuesday that “the Trump administration is poised to let a contract providing legal services to unaccompanied children expire” on Friday, July 31. Goldman added: “I’m asking all of my Republican colleagues, and the senior officials in the Trump administration: let’s end this madness. This Friday, July 31st, the Trump administration is poised to let a contract providing legal services to unaccompanied children expire. Estrella del Paso has been a lifeline for immigrant families in our community, providing the legal support that makes our justice system fairer and more accessible. Since January 2026, legal providers, including the Children’s Legal Program at Americans for Immigrant Justice (AI Justice), have worked without these funds.
