Speak another language? You can help a child seeking safety.

KIND is looking for volunteer interpreters and translators, both in person and remote. Support children navigating the immigration system with dignity and clarity.

The DOJ tried to end the Flores Settlement—a key safeguard for kids in immigration custody. A court blocked it, but the fight isn’t over.

If overturned, children could face even worse conditions.

Unaccompanied kids deserve safety, dignity & due process. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4qrErZQ

The Trump Admin reportedly plans to offer $2,500 to migrant kids over 14 to “voluntarily” self-deport. This cruel tactic turns desperation into a transaction. Children deserve dignity, protection, and safety, not bribes to leave.

At 15, Alexandra faced retraumatization in immigration court. But with a KIND attorney by her side, she felt safe, heard, and empowered.

No child should face court alone.

They call them expendable. We call them children.

Around the world, kids on the move face danger and rejection when they need safety most.

It’s time to protect their rights and make sure no child is ever treated as disposable.

Federal agents are now interviewing unaccompanied kids inside shelters — a major shift from past practice. Without legal counsel or advocates, this risks retraumatizing children & silencing critical safety concerns.

Kids deserve care, not interrogation.

🚨The House Judiciary Committee is proposing policies that would strip protections for unaccompanied children.

 These proposals would dismantle decades of bipartisan safeguards and put children at risk of trafficking, exploitation and abuse.

“The admin’s devastating decision to strip vital legal services away from unaccompanied children runs counter to its stated desire to protect kids, some as young as toddlers, against trafficking, exploitation, & other abuses.”
