California will lead a multistate lawsuit against the Trump administration over child detainment rules
California will lead a multistate lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging a proposed federal regulation that would lift court-granted protections for young migrant detainees, allowing immigration authorities to detain children indefinitely — in quarters they see fit.
The Trump administration rule risks prolonged detention that would cause irreparable harm to migrant children, their families and California communities accepting children upon release from federal custody, state Attorney General Xavier Becerra argued.
"The actions by this administration aren't just morally reprehensible ... they're illegal," Becerra added. "Children don't become subhuman simply because they are migrants." The state also sees the largest number of unaccompanied children — around 6,000 to 7,000 per year, according to Department of Justice officials. They are placed in federally sanctioned foster care settings, state officials said.
