Under Trump's new rule, migrant families could be detained indefinitely by rachsandl
that would allow U.S. immigration authorities to extend the time they hold migrant families together in detention centers from under 20 days to indefinitely.
Before, under an agreement called the Flores settlement, children who crossed the border illegally couldn’t be held in detention centers for more than 20 days. The new rule would reverse the settlement and allow the U.S. to hold children and their parents until their immigration cases are decided. The White House says the rule is meant to deter migrants from using children “as pawns” to enter the country. : Immigration and civil liberties groups say that even if families are held together, detaining children in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions is traumatizing and unhealthy.
Trump said he ended family separation last year after a federal court ordered the administration to end the practice . And now families with children have been released within 20 days. In eliminating the Flores agreement, the White House says it is closing a immigration “loophole” or so-called “catch and release.”: The rule is set to take effect 60 days from Friday, but immigration groups have already vowed to fight it in court, which could delay or prevent it from being implemented.
