US EditionAttorneys File Lawsuit to Preserve Migrant Children's Rights in Detention
- Immigration attorneys filed a lawsuit on June 20 to block the Trump administration from ending the Flores Settlement that protects immigrant children in detention.
- The lawsuit was prompted by the administration's May request to terminate the Flores Settlement amid plans to expand and indefinitely detain immigrant families.
- The complaint contains firsthand accounts revealing difficult conditions at Texas family immigration facilities, where children experience medical neglect and have limited access to clean water.
- RAICES interviewed 90 families, with 40 reporting medical issues such as a 9-month-old losing over 8 pounds and a boy missing cancer treatment, while oversight remains possible only under the Flores Settlement.
- The lawsuit and testimonies highlight growing concerns as ICE increases arrests to 3,000 daily and Congress considers a $45 billion bill for expanded detention, signaling worsening conditions without Flores oversight.
