Flores “requires that juveniles be held in the least restrictive setting appropriate to their age and special needs to ensure their protection and wellbeing.”
I want 2 stop the separation of families at the border by repealing the Flores 1997 court decision requiring separation of families + give DOJ the tools it needs 2 quickly resolve cases

It also requires juveniles be released from custody without unnecessary delay to a parent, legal guardian, adult relative, individual specifically designated by the parent, licensed program, or, alternatively, an adult who seeks custody who DHS deems appropriate.

I've got a better idea. Instead of exposing children to dangerous and lengthy periods of detention in unlicensed facilities why not just call Donald Trump and tell him to
#KeepFamiliesTogether? There's literally nothing forcing him to do what he's doing. - 2 more replies

The Flores Decree says mothers can be released with their children and under Obama that’s what happened. Trump’s DOJ publicly announced last month that they’d start separating families. This is entirely on trump, DOJ and DHS

I call BS, Senator Grassley. The Flores court decision does NOT require the separation of families. You know this. You're simply pandering to Jeff Sessions and Donald Trump while also pandering to your constituents.https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/press-release/court-rules-family-detention-violates-flores-agreement …

@ChuckGrassley you are lying, and I'm 100% sure you know it. Flores 1997 refers to unaccompanied minors. The "separation of families" to which you refer (a.k.a. child abuse) is solely the discretionary policy of this administration. I look forward to your retraction.Thanks.

_Flores_ Para 12: "the minor may be placed in an INS detention facility, or other INS-contracted facility" ONLY "If there is no one to whom the INS may release the minor pursuant to Paragraph 14" (parent, guardian, adult relative). Your "requiring separation of families" is a lie

The interpretation is what has changed. The law has been in place since 1997, and we’ve never seen anything like this. It’s shameful.
