No lawyer, No voice - AZ Migrahack 2015

Introduction

There was no bigger story last summer than the droves of children who crossed the border illegally and without their parents. But as summer faded, so did the stories of the tens of thousands of children who made the long journey from Central America into the United States. Most crossed the border at Texas, and many were transferred to Arizona to be processed by immigration authorities. Our project looks at what happened to these children. Where did they end up? How did their cases play out in court?

These migrant children did not have the right to a court-appointed attorney. Thousands of children whose families couldn’t afford an attorney were left to navigate the complicated civil immigration court proceedings on their own. We look at what happened to those children, hoping to understand the consequences our legal system had on their lives.
