Controversial group wins $158M-contract to represent unaccompanied immigrant children

A Utah-based organization, Our Rescue, formerly known as Operation Underground Railroad, has secured a $158 million contract to represent unaccompanied immigrant children, sparking controversy due to its history and methods. Founded by activist Tim Ballard, the group claims to assist law enforcement in sting operations and trafficking rescues, but its past has raised questions about its practices and legitimacy. This contract win has significant implications for the future of how the U.S. handles unaccompanied minors, potentially impacting both legal and humanitarian frameworks.
