Trump Administration Seeks to Detain Children Indefinitely

PHR today denounced the Trump administration ’s announcement that it would seek to evade its legal obligations under the Flores settlement, which limits the length of time that children can be detained and creates minimum standards for their housing and care. PHR said that defying the 1997 consent decree would place the administration square ly in breach of its legal obligations and violates international norms protecting the rights and wellbeing of children, refugees, and asylum seekers.
