Department of Justice data cited by multiple outlets shows that a large share of children appearing in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) immigration courts are not represented by attorneys. The Independent reports that more than half of children in these proceedings are representing themselves, based on DOJ figures. The reporting also links this to the broader scale of child deportation proceedings occurring under the current administration, stating that more than 750,000 children are facing deportation. The Yahoo UK News item reiterates the same central finding from the DOJ data—that the majority of children in ICE immigration court are self-represented. Taken together, the coverage focuses on two points: the high proportion of unrepresented children in court and the large number of children involved in deportation cases. Across the sources, the underlying claims rely on the same DOJ dataset, and the articles do not cite competing figures or alternative explanations in the excerpts provided. The reporting underscores that many children appear in immigration proceedings without legal representation.
