Child migrants face new crisis: Uneven justice. Children without lawyers, or in particular states, are much more likely to face removal orders, a POLITICO analysis finds.

What’s more, a juvenile assigned to judges in Texas, North Carolina and Georgia in the past 16 months was at least three times more likely to receive such an order than a child in California, Florida or New York.
