Two Guatemalan teens in Washingtons foster care system file a class action lawsuit against DCYF, alleging theyre not being helped to obtain Special Immigrant Juvenile status, a path to green cards. The suit claims DCYF fails to identify eligible kids and provide necessary support, leaving many in limbo.
