Amica Center for Immigrant Rights joined a lawsuit against the Trump administration for failing to comply with a federal court order to continue funding legal representation for unaccompanied immigrant children. This legal action was aimed at ensuring that vulnerable immigrant children receive the necessary legal assistance amid funding cutoffs that have led to severe service disruptions.

The Amica Center for Immigrant Rights has publicly denounced the Trump Administration's decision to terminate funding for legal access programs for immigrants in detention. The decision, announced on April 11, 2025 and effective on April 16, 2025, is seen by the organization as a dangerous assault on due process and immigrant rights. In response, Amica Center is mobilizing legal challenges and calling on community support to counter what it views as a move to facilitate mass deportation.

Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, along with several partner organizations, filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Health & Human Services and other defendants on March 21, 2025, challenging the termination of critical legal representation programs for unaccompanied immigrant children. The action aims to restore essential legal services that have long supported vulnerable immigrant youth, thereby countering administration policies that undermine due process.

Amica Center for Immigrant Rights and partner organizations filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice to challenge its order shutting down federally funded legal aid programs, seeking a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction to resume legal orientation services for immigrants.

Amica Center for Immigrant Rights announced plans to join a lawsuit challenging the Department of Justice's decision to halt federal funding for legal aid in detention centers, arguing that the move undermines due process for detained immigrants. The organization also intends to pressure congressional offices to restore access to legal support in detention centers.

Immigrant rights advocates including Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, along with partner organizations, have filed a federal lawsuit to challenge the government's Mandatory Bars Rule. The rule imposes extra barriers on asylum seekers, undermining due process and endangering vulnerable refugees. Legal experts argue that this rule represents an arbitrary and unjust policy that facilitates the return of those fleeing persecution to dangerous situations.
