Judge orders US refugee office to reconsider some children’s cases
- On Monday, June 9, 2025, a federal judge directed the government agency responsible for migrant children’s care to reexamine cases of some youths remaining in custody due to updated requirements for their potential sponsors.
- This ruling followed the Trump administration’s abrupt changes to identification requirements for family sponsors, which caused delays and left children detained longer.
- Meanwhile, a peaceful rally of hundreds occurred at City Hall in San Jose protesting immigration enforcement and requesting $1.5 million for immigrant legal services.
- Judge Friedrich indicated that the agency’s actions were likely arbitrary, emphasizing that the government cannot keep children confined solely because their relatives do not possess certain documents or legal authorization.
- The court’s decision aims to protect children’s legal rights and push back against policies delaying family reunifications, while local advocates warn of possible federal intervention risks.
