She warns that stripping them of lawyers they trust amounts to "compounded trauma."

A small Texas law firm has withdrawn from consideration for a $150 million federal contract to represent unaccompanied migrant children.
Nick Shirley says the fate of unaccompanied minors stranded in Spain is one of the most troubling aspects of the situation. “Who knows what’s going to happen to them? They're very well likely to get put into trafficking, they could be kidnapped, maybe they'll never see their parents again."
