More from that contract:
"If the service provider has indicated they will participate in locating UACs within their jurisdiction, all work performed must be in accordance with the UAC Statement of Objectives and Performance Metrics, Responsibilities, and Incentives Overview."
I’m not sure people realize how huge this problem is. During Trump 1.0, ~5,000 kids were separated from parents at the border. During Trump 2.0, the Brookings Institution estimates *145,000* US citizen kids have been separated, mostly in the country's interior www.brookings.edu/articles/how... 5/x
Just to re-emphasize, federal agents showed up at the DC offices of at least 3 nonprofit legal service providers late last week.
Amica, Ayuda, and KIND are all subcontractors under a federal program specifically intended to serve unaccompanied children.
