Detention centers housing families in Texas and Pennsylvania can’t provide adequate social distancing, lawyers say
Attorneys for the detained families alleged that the current conditions violate the Constitution, as well as a 1997 consent decree known as the Flores agreement, which requires a safe environment for minors in immigration custody.
Almost 2,000 detainees are part of families held at the centers in Berks County, Pa., Dilley, Texas, and Karnes City, Texas. While lawyers have called for release of all the detainees, the suit does not seek class-action status, so it is limited for now to the 37 families listed. The suit says there are indications that officials “have begun to release some families — those that include pregnant women or people who suffer from asthma — at the Karnes and Dilley FRCs.”
Some details in the new suit underscore the difficult position immigration enforcement officials are in as the virus outbreak intensifies.
