Good ruling for kids in detention facilities

On Friday, August 21, 2015, U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee issued an order in Flores v. Johnson, ruling that children should generally be released from family detention within five days—preferably to a parent, including a parent with whom they were apprehended. The government must implement the court’s ruling by October 23, 2015.
