Federal judge won’t allow Trump to expand family detention

A federal judge blocked a Trump administration regulation Friday that would allow families to be detained for lengthy periods of time.
Los Angeles-based U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee ruled that the regulation— set to take effect Oct. 22 — violated the terms of the so-called Flores settlement agreement, which currently governs the standards for the detention of migrant children. Under the terms of the agreement and subsequent court rulings, children cannot be detained with their parents for longer than 20 days.
