Stopping this funding affects vulnerable children & families nationwide, including more than 800 in Michigan served by MIRC.

Nationally, 26,000 children are now at risk of losing their legal representation and all children in federal custody will be without legal information.

☎️ Take action! Tell your members of Congress to restore unaccompanied children's legal service funding immediately.

🫶🏿 MIRC will continue to serve our 800 young clients as best we can, as long as we can, with the limited resources we have available. However, 80% of our staffing will be affected by this order.

Donate to help us continue representation for our clients: https://michiganimmigrant.org/donate
