“The Trump administration announced a new rule on Wednesday that would allow migrant families to be kept in detention centers long-term,” Axios reports.
“A decades-old court decision — the Flores agreement — has prevented the government from holding minors in detention for longer than 20 days. The new regulation would replace that and give the federal government more power in determining how to care for migrant minors in its custody. The rule was first proposed following the family separation crisis last spring, and is certain to face legal challenges.”
