Post by Kids in Need of Defense (KIND)

Legal representation is a critical protection for children navigating the immigration system alone. Attorneys help children understand their rights, appear in court, and access protections available under the law. As KIND President Wendy Young told The Washington Post: “They need to really back off this notion that somehow we are the problem when we are really part of the solution.” Children should never be afraid to seek help from organizations dedicated to their safety and well-being. Protecting children means strengthening—not undermining—the systems designed to support them. https://lnkd.in/ehm5GgzS
