Recently, a federal judge ordered ICE to release children from detention in certain detention centers. Last week, the federal government announced its position that it is not required to release entire families automatically. Immigrant advocates warn that this will lead to more family separations. Similarly, lawyers for the detained families have expressed concern that this will either push parents to release their children without them or lead to families staying in detention.
