NJ budget sets aside $3M for legal help for unaccompanied minors It s a small slice of the $46.4 billion budget passed by the New Jersey Legislature and signed by Gov. Phil Murphy last week, but it will make the Garden State one of the only ones in the nation to set aside money statewide for the purpose. Juveniles from foreign countries who enter the United States as unaccompanied minors will now have access to a $3 million pool for legal representation, to fight deportation efforts and find family members in New Jersey. Randi Mandelbaum, distinguished clinical professor of law at Rutgers Law School in Newark and director of the Child Advocacy Clinic, said when a child arrives alone at the border, Customs and Border Protection must turn the minor over to the Department of Health and Human Services, whose Office of Refugee Resettlement is responsible for relocating the child.
