Congresswoman Escobar Statement on Estrella del Paso Funding
Today, Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (TX-16) released the following statement in response to news that the Trump administration was withholding funds from Estrella del Paso:
"Estrella del Paso has been a lifeline for immigrant families in our community, providing the legal support that makes our justice system fairer and more accessible. The Trump Administration's decision to withhold funding for unaccompanied minors has placed that mission in jeopardy, created unnecessary uncertainty for the people who depend on it, and deliberately attacked due process. Every day these funds remain frozen puts essential legal services for children and the future of Estrella del Paso at greater risk - reimbursements should be released now."
