Law firm declines $150M contract to represent migrant children

The Burke Law Group, a Houston firm with ties to the Trump administration, declined a $150 million federal contract to represent unaccompanied migrant children, raising questions about their legal representation. The contract was part of the administration's efforts to replace an expired agreement with nearly 100 providers. A temporary $20 million contract was awarded to the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, but its future remains uncertain.
