Children in Legal Limbo | Lincoln News

Over 20,000 unaccompanied immigrant children are now legally stranded—no lawyers in sight—after a critical contract expired and the government failed to secure a replacement. With no official announcement on who’ll step in, no RFP posted, and even potential bidders left in the dark, kids face skyrocketing deportation risks. The old nonprofit, owed $65 million and unpaid since December, is still being asked to serve new arrivals while unable to inform them of their legal abandonment. Worse, government officials are allegedly using pending visa applications—meant to grant asylum—to push deportations. As systems collapse and communication vanishes, these vulnerable children are caught in a legal void with no safety net.
