Mid-South Immigration Advocates

Mid-South Immigration Advocates in Tennessee is closing due to Trump administration funding cuts, leaving 800 low-income immigrant children without legal representation. The organization cites a new policy requiring disclosure of confidential client information as a reason for withheld federal payments, leading to dire consequences including increased deportation risks for children.

Mid-South Immigration Advocates announced it will close due to delayed federal reimbursements for legal services to unaccompanied minors, a heat advisory was issued for Middle Tennessee, and a 300-acre land acquisition was announced for Beaman Park.
