Speaking of the Supreme Court

Is child refugee detention on the way to the Supreme Court?

Los Angeles US District Court Judge Dolly Gee dismissed as "dubious" and "unconvincing" the US Justice Department's arguments to modify the 1997 Flores settlement that says children can only be held in immigration detention for up to 20 days.

[...]

"It is apparent that the Defendants' Application is a cynical attempt to shift responsibility to the Judiciary for over 20 years of Congressional inaction and ill-considered Executive action that have led to the current stalemate," Gee, the daughter of Chinese immigrants, said in her ruling on Monday.

[...]

It is estimated that more than 2,000 children remain in detention and separated from their families.

Thank goodness we don't have any immigrants on the Supreme Court!
