Bill overview
The Fair Day in Court for Kids Act of 2025 aims to improve legal representation for unaccompanied children involved in immigration proceedings. It mandates that the Department of Justice or the Department of Health and Human Services provide or appoint legal counsel at government expense for these children, ensuring they have access to legal information and representation throughout their cases. The bill also establishes guidelines for legal representation, requires DHS to provide access to files, and addresses potential delays in removal proceedings if counsel isn't provided.
