The goal of this working group is to create space for advocates who work with unaccompanied children in ORR care in Texas to connect around the unique challenges of working with and advocating for children in ORR care in Texas. We recognize that advocating for UC in ORR care often happens outside the normal legal channels of immigration court and USCIS. If you work as an advocate for legal service provider in the detained setting in Texas (whether or not you are an attorney), please feel free to join this group to share updates, successes and challenges!

The working group is open to anyone at a legal nonprofit organization nationwide, who is involved in the coordination of pro bono opportunities to help children facing deportation, whether full time or as part of your job. We hope the working group will serve as a space to collectively address the gap in legal services for children facing deportation and to troubleshoot and brainstorm ideas for pro bono programs.

The goal for this quarterly call is to provide a space for attorneys working on unaccompanied children’s asylum cases across the state to share trends and ask questions related to asylum office interviews, asylum hearings before EOIR, issues with unaccompanied minor designations, defining PSGs, etc. Please have someone from your organization ready to provide an update on the trends of your agency’s unaccompanied children’s asylum applications. Of particular help to others would be updates on the interviewing schedules, any grants or referrals with the protected class or particular social groups used, and any other new trends you are seeing. We ask at least one person from your organization to share updates but all are welcome to listen in, share updates, or ask questions.
