Immigrant children aren't entitled to government-paid lawyers in deportation hearings, court rules1/29/2018 By: Maura Dolan
This article discusses over the federal appeals court decision on Monday (Jan. 29, 2018) that immigrant minors are not entitled to government- paid lawyers for deportation hearings. This took place after a "three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an immigration judge's decision to deny asylum to a minor identified as C.J.L.G., who left Honduras at age 13 after being threatened by gangs". The boy did not have a lawyer since his mother was unable to find free legal help. The intended audience seems to be most directed towards adult Californians. Dealing with laws, this article will cater more towards adults. Although this event will have a drastic impact on the country as a whole, the article is labeled under "Local" since the article focuses on the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has a courthouse located in San Francisco. The author of this article is Maura Dolan. She is the California-based legal affairs writer for the Los Angeles Times. With most of the article being composed of direct quotes said by involved stakeholders, Dolan's level of attachment is not presented in the article. Her tone is serious, uninvolved and forthright and her diction is simple, yet formal. The purpose of this article is to share relevant information about a recent event. The courts' decision will, without a doubt, affect the lives of thousands of people. With little to no presences of bias in the article, the article is left for readers to form their own thoughts and opinions about the courts' decision.
