Courthouse News Service: "SEATTLE (CN) - Public interest attorneys on Wednesday filed a federal class action against the United States, claiming it is illegally denying counsel to thousands of undocumented children whom the government already has started deporting.
Attorneys for lead counsel the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project claim Attorney General Eric Holder et al. are violating the Immigration and Nationality Act and the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment.
The lawsuit comes as thousands of undocumented children, many of them unaccompanied, are being flown and bused hither and yon across the country after being arrested, usually, in Texas."
