The federal judge prevented a new Trump administration policy for keeping children migrants in detention after reaching the age of 18, and quickly moving to stop transfers to adult facilities that defenders said was scheduled to be scheduled this week.
On Saturday, the American boycott judge, Rodolph Contreras, issued a temporary order to assess immigration and customs in the United States because no child came to the country alone and without permission in adult detention facilities after they became adults.
Judge Washington, DC, found that this automatic detention violates an order from the court issued in 2021 with the exception of such practices.
Ice and the US Internal Security Ministry immediately did not respond on Saturday to emails seeking to comment.
The batch needed for the detention of new adults is another battle on one of the most sensitive issues in President Donald Trump’s difficult line Migration How to treat children who cross the borders that are not accompanied by adults.
The Associated Press reported on Friday that officials offer immigrant children between the ages of 14 and over. $ 2500 to return voluntarily To their countries of origin. Last month, a separate federal judge prevented deportation attempts immediately Guatemian immigrant children Those who came to the United States alone to their homeland. Some children were placed on the plane in that process late at night before the judge was banned.
“All these parts of the same general policy are to force migrant youth to abandon their right to seek protection in the United States,” said Michel Laboint, a lawyer for the American Immigration Council, one of the groups that asked the Contraras to interfere in a file that was made after midnight on Saturday.
Unaccompanied children are held in shelters run by the Refugee Resettlement Office, and it is not part of the ice. The command of the 2021 counteress ordered federal officials to release minors who reached 18 of those shelters to “the less restricted settings available”. He has ruled that this is what federal law requires as long as the minor is not a threat to themselves or others and not a flight risk. Minors are often fired at a nursery of a relative, or perhaps in the nursery.
But lawyers who represent the unaccompanied palace have begun to obtain a word in the past few days that Ice was telling the shelters that children who were about to reach 18 years of age-even those who have already accredited launch plans-could no longer release them and will be transferred instead to detention facilities, perhaps early on Saturday. An email from ICE confirmed that new adults can only be released by ICE under the authority of conditional release separately for urgent humanitarian reasons “or” great general benefit “. From March to September, ICE took out less than 500 people in general.
Prosecutors have argued that “the release of conditional release is every dead message” and that children who are old from shelters will always face harm to the detention of unnecessary and inappropriate adults “in prisons that may be crowded or in distance locations.
The American border authorities have arrested children crossing the border without parents more than 400,000 times since October 2021. The 2008 law is asking to appear before the immigration judge before returning to their countries.
Children spend more time in the government -run shelters because the Trump administration placed them under careful scrutiny before they were launched to the family in the United States to follow their immigration issues.
Additional audit includes fingerprints, DNA testing and home visits by immigration officers. During the summer, immigration officers began to appear and The arrest of parents.
The average period of residence in the government -run shelters for those in the United States was 171 days in July, to the bottom of A. The peak of 217 days In April, but above 37 days in January, when Trump took office.
