    A Texas law firm, Burke Law Group, with ties to the Trump administration, has declined a $150 million federal contract to represent unaccompanied migrant minors. The firm, which has little experience in immigration matters, was set to replace nearly 100 providers whose contract expired at the end of last month. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has not provided a reason for Burke's decision, leaving the future legal representation of migrant children in doubt.

The move has drawn attention away from the novel's content and towards the political implications of mentioning neighboring Russians in Ukrainian literature.
