A migrant from El Salvador gets her chance in immigration court
By Maura Ewing


A study by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University (TRAC) analyzed more than 26,000 asylum proceedings of adults with children last year, and found that less than one-third had legal representation. About 26 percent of the applicants with lawyers successfully won permission to stay in the US, whereas only 1.5 percent of those without won their claims — 98.5 percent of migrants with children who did not have lawyers were deported.
