Burke Law Group, whose lawyers mostly specialize in corporate law and some even have ties to the current administration, is now tasked with defending vulnerable migrant children facing deportation.

With the contract starting August 15th, advocates fear this move jeopardizes fair representation for some of the most vulnerable in the system.
