Volunteer lawyers help unrepresented immigrants in US courts

A legal nonprofit program in Sacramento sends volunteer lawyers to immigration courts to assist unrepresented immigrants, who face higher risks under the Trump administration's mass deportation agenda. Data shows only 19% of those without lawyers win asylum versus 47% with lawyers, and 52% of 3.2 million pending cases lack representation.
