Part 2: Accountability, Litigation, and the Long Road to Additional Funds

Six years after the Boy Scouts of America’s Chapter 11 filing and more than three years since the Scouting Settlement Trust began operations, survivors and their attorneys continue pushing for greater transparency, faster distributions, and full accountability from the Trust and its administrators.

Dead Teen Ordered Deported by U.S. Immigration Judge: A Case of Bureaucratic Absurdity

In a jaw-dropping example of bureaucratic tone-deafness, a U.S. immigration judge in North Carolina has ordered the deportation of a Honduran teenager who had already been dead for more than 18 months. Judge Amy Lee signed the removal order against 19-year-old Levi Mendez-Maldonado on May 21, 2026, ruling that he had “failed to appear” in court. The problem?

For generations, parents entrusted the Boy Scouts of America with their sons’ character and safety. For thousands of those boys, that trust was shattered by sexual abuse at the hands of scoutmasters and leaders. When statutes of limitations finally opened in certain states, more than 82,000 survivors came forward. The result was a massive Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware that promised resolution through a roughly $2.46 billion Scouting Settlement Trust. Six years on, many survivors describe a d
