Court Orders Trump Administration to Restore Legal Aid to Unaccompanied Immigrant Children
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A federal judge in California has ordered the Trump administration to
temporarily restore legal aid to tens of thousands of vulnerable,
unaccompanied immigrant children. Plaintiffs who represent the children
say Trump's halting of the legal assistance violated a 2008
anti-trafficking law.

Meanwhile, members of the small New York community of Sackets Harbor are
demanding the return of three children who were taken last week by ICE
agents during a raid at a dairy farm. At least seven community members,
including the children's mother, were arrested in that raid. We'll have
more on this later in the broadcast.
