OAKLAND, Calif. (CN) — A federal judge granted an emergency motion Thursday to unlock federal funds to provide legal aid to undocumented minors after a group of legal services and immigrant rights nonprofits was granted a preliminary injunction to restore aid last year. U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín granted an emergency motion to enforce her previous preliminary injunction order to ensure children caught in the immigration court system had access to legal services. The Joe Biden appointee granted a preliminary injunction last April to restore nationwide legal aid funding through the Office of Refugee Resettlement. At Thursday’s hearing, lead plaintiff Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto argued the government was cagey in responding to requests for updates about when the funds would be restored. He said data about billable hours, date of legal services, attorneys and law firms were required to have “a certain level of substantiation” before disbursing the money.
