I am very proud to bring this case along with my incredible colleagues on behalf of these brave kids and their families. I hope we can quickly get Diego, Renesme, Mario, Benito, and so many others just like them back home where they belong.

Kids are being re-detained after traffic stops or chance ICE encounters, then held for months while previously approved sponsors are forced to start over. NCYL and @democracyforward.org just filed Diego N. v. HHS today to end this unlawful policy. youthlaw.org/press/2026/0...

ICAP is honored to stand with @nilc.org and @youthlaw.bsky.social in protecting unaccompanied Guatemalan children from being summarily deported under the guise of "reunification" that neither the children or their parents requested.

🚨 BREAKING: A district court has blocked the Trump admin from expelling Guatemalan children from the U.S. without due process. Every child deserves safety, dignity, and healing. We are proud to represent these children with @nilc.org and @icapgeorgetown.bsky.social. youthlaw.org/news/advocat...

I am proud to be part of the team preventing this cruelty. We must keep fighting to protect all of our rights and dignity. www.cbsnews.com/news/guatema...

Trump’s mass deportations are separating families. As arrests ramp up, children are being forced into federal custody during traffic stops, raids, and court hearings.

Congress just voted that DC youth as young as 14 can be prosecuted as adults, making them eligible for harsher sentences and adult prisons. This harmful federal overreach is part of youth justice rollbacks nationwide. We need solutions, not harsher punishments. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/u...

BREAKING: In our case with the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection and @youthlaw.bsky.social, a District Court blocked the Trump administration’s plans to expel hundreds of unaccompanied Guatemalan children from the U.S. without due process.

NEWS: Judge Dolly Gee denied DOJ’s request to terminate the Flores settlement — a 1997 settlement that provides court oversight of gov’t treatment of migrant children subject to detention until a final rule is in effect. The settlement will remain: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I am continuously inspired by the brave children who stand up to this government's cruelty. It is truly an honor to represent them.

🚨 The Senate budget bill puts immigrant children in grave danger. It guts key protections, allows indefinite family detention in unlicensed facilities, and increases children’s risk of abuse, and exploitation. 📢 Tell Congress: NO on the budget bill. youthlaw.org/voteno

Many people wonder what they can do to help - here is something you can do to help. Call Congress. Tell them this budget does not reflect our values. action.youthlaw.org/a/stand-up-f...

Grateful to @salonnewsroom.bsky.social for covering our case which seeks to end a different kind of family separation. And in awe of the brave kids who filed this litigation for themselves and for their peers.

In a widely-expected move, the Trump admin is making yet another effort to terminate the Flores Settlement, which since the 1990s has imposed limitations on the government's treatment of children in immigration detention. They lost every effort to do this in Trump's first term.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 The Trump Administration just filed a motion to terminate the Flores Settlement Agreement, a 1997 landmark court order that protects children in immigration detention. An end to Flores would put kids in danger of indefinite detention and subject them to cruel & inhumane treatment.

"Eviscerating the rudimentary protections that these children have is unconscionable. At this very moment, babies and toddlers are being detained in family detention, and children all over the country are being detained and separated from their families unnecessarily." @mishanw.bsky.social

Here we go again...

“I just want to be with my family.” Quotes from children held in government custody make one thing clear: they want to go home. New HHS rules are keeping them trapped. NCYL and @democracyforward.org have filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to stop this. youthlaw.org/cases/angeli...

“When a child is denied release to a parent just because their only form of ID is a foreign passport, it’s hard to see this as anything more than making life as hard as possible for the immigrant families who seek safety in our country.” @mishanw.bsky.social , NCYL www.latimes.com/california/s...

Deeply grateful to the brave children and their families who made this case possible. @youthlaw.bsky.social is ready to keep fighting to get these kids home to their families.

"Children in government care are now isolated—from their families, from lawyers and other professionals who can help them ..." Trump regime’s polices are prolonging children detention & making it nearly impossible for many families to reunite. Cruelty is always their point.

As Flores and Lucas R. counsel we know how critical access to independent attorneys is for the safety of children in federal immigration detention. Stripping children of access to counsel is cowardly and cruel. I'm so proud to work at @youthlaw.bsky.social with my amazing colleagues.

At @commondreams.org.web.brid.gy, NCYL's Neha Desai and @melissaadamson.bsky.social write about how the #LakenRileyAct is a harmful bill that could force a migrant child merely charged with stealing a lollipop into indefinite detention. Read their analysis:

Students as young as 10, accused of school-based misbehavior, were ticketed by Colorado law enforcement more than 4,800 times in the 2022–23 school year alone. Read more from NCYL Attorney Hong Le on how these tickets can harm youth well into adulthood:

The #LakenRileyAct will lead to the arrest and indefinite, mandatory detention of immigrant children in dangerous facilities - without charges or any judicial finding. We urge Reps to vote NO. Watch our conversation with Senator Jeff Merkley to learn more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkq6...
