The DOJ needs to request discovery on the funding sources of all these filings to protect this *******.
The funding source is the 6th Amendment.
The 6th Amendment funds people?
Where does the 6th Amendment GET that funding source?
Just curious...
Haha, I was a bit pithy in my reply, sorry about that. But he has federal public defenders in the Tennessee case, and those offices are funded by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, but the Defender Services Office ran out of money for last fiscal year in early July, so unless his public defenders are from the local federal public defender office, they've essentially been working for free since then.
What about all the other cases? The original immigration cases?
On those, he doesn't have appointed counsel, so I'm not sure how his attorneys there are getting paid.
That's why I posted what I did earlier...
Here's what I have found
Current Representation (retained in June 2025): A team from two firmsHecker Fink LLP (Sean Hecker and Jenna Dabbs, New York-based) and Sherrard Roe Voigt & Harbison (Rascoe Dean, Nashville-based).
Funding through a public crowdfunding efforts organized by the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) on behalf of Garca's girlfriend, Jennifer Vasquez Sura. As of June 2025, this raised over $265,000 via online donations to cover high private attorney fees (estimated $700$1,500 per hour per attorney). Additional support comes from a dedicated "Kilmar Defense Fund" managed by Murray Osorio PLLC, an immigration NGO firm handling related aspects, which explicitly solicits contributions for legal fees (non-tax-deductible, with donors' names and amounts shared with the family), but additionally gets funding from Amnesty International.
Additional funding for the lead criminal firm (Hecker Fink LLP) received $7 million from a Reid Hoffman-linked nonprofit (Civil Law Project) that was also used to fund E. Jean Carroll's lawsuits against Donald Trump, and that funding has shifted to the Garcia case.
