Legal service providers are expressing skepticism about the government's ability to recruit enough pro bono attorneys for nearly 1,200 immigrant families affected by separation. Sara Van Hofwegen from Acacia points out that the government cuts funding and then expects these providers to manage cases at no cost. Trust between affected families and legal service is crucial, but many fear interaction with the government could lead to deportation. The recent ending of their contract caught these providers off guard, yet some continue aiding families despite uncertainty.
Basically, what the government is doing is they're cutting funding from legal service providers, and then they're turning around to the same legal service providers and saying, 'Please take these cases for free,'
