US EditionDetained immigrant children still face concerning conditions at Texas facility, lawyers say
Court documents reveal nearly 600 children held beyond 20-day limit at Texas facility, with 265 detained over 50 days and 55 over 100 days, amid poor conditions.
- Court documents filed Friday said nearly 600 immigrant children were held at the Dilley facility beyond the 20-day limit, with reports of inadequate care. The filings drew on government data and reports from families and monitors to document conditions at the South Texas Family Residential Center, Dilley, Texas.
- The filings point to long-running litigation that began in 1985 and led to 1997 court-ordered supervision and a 20-day custody limit, while the Trump administration seeks to end the Flores settlement, DHS said.
- The filings highlight that attorneys representing detainees reported worms in food, poor medical and legal access, virus outbreaks, lockdowns in December and January, and a 13-year-old girl attempted suicide after withheld antidepressants.
- A February site visit recorded about 85 children detained at Dilley, with a hearing scheduled later this month, according to the Central District of California.
- Public reaction intensified after ICE data showed about 595 immigrant children were held beyond the duration limits in recent months, with some detainees lasting over 50 or 100 days, according to filings.
