Holder has already diverted money meant to secure the border to pay for illegals to have lawyers, I’m guessing that’s not good enough so they’re suing.

Via LA Times:

Immigrant advocacy groups sued the federal government on Wednesday for what they say is a failure to provide legal representation for immigrant children facing deportation.

In a class-action lawsuit filed in federal court in Seattle, attorneys for the groups allege that the government is violating due process by allowing some children to navigate the complex immigration legal system alone.

Listed as plaintiffs are eight immigrant children, from Mexico as well as Central America, including a 17-year-old living in Los Angeles who said he fled gang recruitment in Guatemala and cannot afford legal representation. Virginia Kice, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said her agency does not comment on pending litigation.

The lawsuit was filed on the same day Justice Department officials announced plans to expedite immigration court proceedings for unaccompanied youth and families, moving them ahead of other cases to be heard by an expanded corps of immigration judges. […]

“Their ability to grasp what is at stake and even just perform the act of talking to a judge is virtually nonexistent,” said Ahilan Arulanantham, an attorney with the ACLU of Southern California, one of the groups that filed the lawsuit. “A 10-year-old cannot make legal arguments and cannot even make reliably accurate factual statements that a court can rely on in deciding that child’s case.”

Taxpayer-funded prosecutors are present at every immigration hearing for minors. Arulanantham said it is only fair that the government also provide legal counsel for the children.
