Trump administration plans to sidestep limits on detaining immigrant children indefinitely
The Trump administration proposed a new rule on Thursday that would allow it to get around restrictions that prevent immigrant children from being held in federal detention for more than 20 days.
The proposal would circumvent rules established by a federal court settlement – known as the Flores settlement – that limited the detention of children and families for more than 20 days.
The proposed change is likely to face legal challenges from immigrant rights activists who oppose detaining children.
