Mcallen, Texas (AP) – A federal judge ruled on Friday to refuse Trump administration request To eliminate a policy for about three decades which is for safety Immigrant baby In federal custody.
American District Judge Dolly Ji at Los Angeles Gave his decision A week after hearing with the federal government and legal advocates, immigrants represent detained children.
GE called the hearing of last week “Déjà Vu”, which reminds the federal government’s attempt to end the court Floors cellment agreement First under Trump Administration in 2019. He repeated Bhavna in Friday’s order.
GEE said, “There is nothing new about the facts or laws under the Sun. The court can therefore reject the proposal of the defendants on that basis,” G. written, referring to the government’s appeal, for a law, he believed that they prevent the court from implementing the agreement.
In the most recent attempt, the government argued that they made adequate changes since formal forming the agreement in 1997, creating standards and policies that control the custody of immigrant children that are in line with law and agreement.
GEE admitted that the government created some better conditions of imprisonment, but wrote, “The reform is direct evidence that the FSA is serving its intended objective, but to suggest that the agreement should be abandoned because some progress has been made, it is fruitless.”
The lawyers representing the federal government told the court that the agreement is found in the way of its efforts to expand the place of prevention to the families, even though President Trump’s recent signed signed Tax and expenditure bill Provided billions for the construction of new immigration facilities.
One of the government lawyers, Tiberius Davis said that this bill empowers government rights to detain families indefinitely.
“But currently under the Floors Settlement Agreement, it is essentially zero,” he said last week.
The floors agreement nominated for a teenager was a result of more than a decade of lawsuits among the migrant children and lawyers representing migrant children and US government rights on widespread allegations of misconduct in the 1980s.
The contract has set standards for providing food, water, adult supervision, emergency medical services, toilets, sinks, temperature control and ventilation to licensed shelters. It is also limited about how long the US customs and border security (CBP) can stop child migrants for 72 hours. The US Health and Human Services Department (HHS) then detains children.
Biden administration Successfully pushed to partially finished Agreement last year. The GE ruled that the special court surveillance may end when HHS detained, but he engraved exceptions for some types of features for children with more intense needs.
While arguing against the trump administration’s attempt to completely eliminate the agreement, advocates said the government was catching the children beyond the time limit. In May, CBP kept 46 children for more than a week, with six children and four children held for 19 days for more than two weeks, according to data filed in a court. In March and April, CPB reported that 213 of its children were more than 72 hours in custody. It consisted of 14 children, including todders, who were held in April for more than 20 days.
The federal government wants to expand it Immigration of immigrationAlso included by building More center Like one in Florida “Elegator Alkatraz,” where a Releases Constitutional rights of prisoners are being violated.
GEE has still not given a decision on request by legal advocates for immigrants to expand the independent monitoring of children’s treatment in CBP facilities. Currently, the compromise allows for third party inspection in facilities in El Paso and Rio Grande Valley Areas, but the plaintiff offered evidence showing prolonged detention in boundary facilities that violate the terms of the agreement.
