Obama Immigrant Detention Policies Under Fire
the Los Angeles-based Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law and Obama administration officials have just a few days left to settle a lawsuit challenging the detention facilities for more than 2,000 women with children, who came here during last summer’s border surge. The families are being held in detention centers in Texas and Pennsylvania. A federal judge in Los Angeles issued a preliminary ruling finding that the administration is violating an 18-year-old court settlement, Flores v. Meese. The settlement requires the government to house migrant children in “the least restrictive environment” or release them to relatives. The judge gave federal officials and the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law time to reach an agreement on how to implement her ruling before she makes it final.
And being purposely allowed to die from illness. No I don’t. Refusing life-saving care and murdering them is the same thing. It’s fucking horrendous that you neo-libs don’t understand that. Of course you people do allow a lot of people to die on purpose don’t you?
Negligence doesn’t mean it’s on purpose. This is why there’s multiple degrees of murder charges and manslaughter, negligent homicide etc.
