Imprisoning children? Not much to weigh.
“Judge weighs Trump administration’s request to end protections for immigrant children
"I have met children who have spent days in jail cells with barely more than ramen noodles to eat, lights on day and night, no sunlight or access to the outside world and the indignity of using the restroom in front of guards." Leecia Welch, the deputy legal director at Children’s Rights, said in an interview after the hearing.
The Trump administration asked U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee to dissolve the policy, which limits how long Customs and Border Protection can hold immigrant children and requires them to be kept in safe and sanitary conditions.
Judge Gee said it seems like conditions should be improving but they “are deteriorating.
“It seems counterintuitive that should happen unless it’s willful,” said Gee
