“This new Trump rule callously puts at risk the safety and well-being of children,” said California Attorney General Xavier Becerra. “No child deserves to be left in conditions inappropriate and harmful for their age.”
Bart JansenNineteen states filed a federal lawsuit Monday opposing the Trump administration’s new regulations for indefinitely detaining immigrant families.
Federal authorities anticipated legal challenges to the proposal, which could take effect in 60 days if a federal judge approves. Kevin McAleenan, acting secretary of Homeland Security, said Wednesday in announcing the rule that it is intended to keep families together while processing their asylum claims efficiently.The regulatory proposal deals with the 1997 agreement reached in a class-action lawsuit known as the Flores settlement.
ICE officials maintain that their detention facilities for families meet high standards for providing shelter, food, recreation and education. ICE has three facilities that have a total of about 3,000 beds for families, including two in Texas – the Karnes County Residential Center in Karnes City and the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley – and the Family Residential Center in Berks County, Pennsylvania.
