DHS is offering $2.5K to unaccompanied kids to drop legal claims & accept deportation. That’s not help—it’s coercion. It exploits their vulnerability in custody, says legal director Mickey Donovan-Kaloust. 🔗

Defending immigrants is not about politics; it’s about protecting the rule of law & preserving democratic values when they’re under threat. "We will not be intimidated because we know that we stand with our clients and communities,” @l_toczylowski https://t.co/ozIwH6Ovh7
